Using Nicknames to Publish Posts in Blogger

Before

After

I'm sorry this week's post is a little delayed. I was away from the computer for a couple of days. Anyways, I'm back now. This week's tutorial is about changing your profile name to a nickname in Blogger posts (both normal and Dynamic Views template). Being a Google product is one of the best things about Blogger. It allows you to use one account to enjoy many of Google's integrated services. But the sucky part is, recently, with the introduction of G+, Google became serious with its naming policy. Long story short, if you have G+ linked to Blogger (which is cool btw), you don't get to use nicknames in Blogger! Thus in this post, I'm gonna show you how you can use nicknames in your published posts, instead of your real name.

Note: This tweak does not work if you have multiple authors posting in your blog.

For Normal Templates:

Go to Dashboard --> Template --> Customize --> Advanced --> Add CSS --> paste the following code --> Press enter after the last character of the last line } --> Apply to Blog.

?

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13

.fn a, .comment .blog-author a, .ss a, .fn{ font-size: 0px !important; } .fn:after{ content:"YoboY"; font-size: 13px !important; } .blog-author a:after{ content:"YoboY"; font-size: 12px; font-weight: 900; }

Raplace 'YoboY' in Line 6 and Line 10 with your nickname. Note that this will also change the names that appear when you post a comment in your own blog. You may also need to change the font size of your nicknames by altering Lines 7 and 11.

For Dynamic Views Templates:

Go to Dashboard --> Template --> Customize --> Advanced --> Add CSS --> paste the following code --> Press enter after the last character of the last line } --> Apply to Blog.

?

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15

.publish-info, .ss{ font-size: 0px !important; } .time.published{ font-size: 14px !important; } .publish-info:before{ content: "Posted "; font-size: 14px !important; } .publish-info:after{ content: "by Yoboy"; margin-left: 5px; font-size: 14px !important; }

Raplace 'YoboY' in Line 12 with your nickname. Unfortunately, due to lack of a proper handler, it is not possible to change author names in comments to nicknames.
