Display Related Posts with Thumbnails In Blogger
The most important thing for blogger is the traffic, the visitors, and he works very hard to get a lot of visitors every day,
but what to do after getting good number of visitors.
You have to make your visitors keep return to your site and spend more and ore time on your site.
and one of the most effective way to do this is to convince your visitors that you still have more high quality content.
after a visitor finish reading one of your blog posts, he should find some thing related to his interests.
so you may want to make it easy for him to find another related content on your blog,
and the best way to do it, is to use a related posts script, to display list of related posts, not only the posts titles, but thumbnails too.
And we’ll use one of the best widgets for this process, it’s linkwithin.
linkwithin is a free widget enable us to display list of related posts with thumbnails at the posts footer.
at the moment you can choose one of three factors that determine the posts that appear in list. the 3 factors are

Fill the form on the right-hand side, but for Platform choose Other
then click Get Widget you’ll be in a page called Install Widget on Other Platforms
and you’ll see a code there. don’t copy the code but find linkwithin_site_id as you see in the image. find it and copy it, it should be someting like this
48394 then save it in a notepad file or save it any where.

and use your browsers finder and find this tag
<div class='post-footer'>
or similar tag, you must find post-footer tag.
once you find it, just before it past the following code.
<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == "item"'>
<script>
var linkwithin_site_id = YOUR_SITE_ID;
(function () {
var elem = document.createElement('script');
elem.type = 'text/javascript';
elem.src = 'http://www.linkwithin.com/widget.js?rand=' + Math.random();
document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(elem);
})();
</script>
<a href="http://www.linkwithin.com/"><img

Apart from LinkWithin Bloggers do have alternative = check out the hack developed by Aneesh of BloggerPlugIns at http://www.bloggerplugins.org/2009/08/related-posts-thumbnails-blogger-widget.html I’ll leave it to you Max to do the comparison of which one is better
@ Don BooDee , of curse Aneesh is one of my favorite bloggers, but i think his widget still have some errors with alot of blogger.
Thanks for that, but I can’t remove linkwithin-ads on right of the widget.
Very helpful and informative post on related posts widget. Because of this post I could successfully implement the widget on my blog. I loved it.
Thanks.
Thanks for Info…
@Max I see. Tried it for quite sometimes and it seems fit for it purpose thus far. Lucky me, I guess. Nonetheless, it’s always good to have alternatives to choose from. I presume than LinkWithin is relatively more stable then.
