Related posts widget with title and comments number hovering effect | In today tutorial I will show you how to add a related post widget bellow your post. I received many comments about this so finally I decided to post the tutorial. It a very nice widget with a little hover effect meaning when you hover on a related post it will show both the title and the comments number you have received on that post. You can see a demo on my blog just scroll to the bottom of this post.

How to create nice related post widget?


1. Log in to your Dashboard--> Template- -> Edit HTML

2. Click on "Expand Widget Templates"

3. Search "Ctrl+F" and find ]]></b:skin>. Before it paste the code:

/* Related Post Widget */

#related-posts{
float:left;
height:160px;
margin-bottom:10px; 
outline: 1px solid #fff;
border: 1px solid #ddd;
background: #f9fafb;
}

#related-posts h3{
    font-family: Francois One;
    font-size:20px;
    font-weight:400;
    color: #222222;
    margin-bottom: 0.5em;
    margin-top: 0.5em;
    margin-left: 0.5em;;
    padding-top: 0em;
}

#related-posts ul{
margin:5px;
width:613px;
padding-left:17px;
list-style:none;
display:block;
}
#related-posts ul li{
list-style:none;
position:relative;
float:left;
border:0 none;
margin-right:11px;
padding:2px;
width:86px;
}


#related-posts ul li:hover{z-index:100}
#related-posts ul li:hover img{border:3px solid #BBB}


#related-posts ul li:hover div{
font-size:7px;
text-transform:capitalize;
position:absolute;
top:20px;
left:-15px;
margin-left:0;
width:130px
}
#related-posts ul li img{
border:3px solid #DDD;
width:80px;
height:80px;
background:#FFF;
display:block;
}
#related-posts ul li div{
position:absolute;
z-index:99;
margin-left:-999em
}
#related-posts ul li .title{
text-align:center;
border:1px dotted #CCC;
background:#fff;
padding:5px 10px
}

You can play with the values on the CSS to align better in your page , or to change the dimension of the widget, change the font etc.
4. Find the  <data:post.body/> and after it paste the next code:
<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == &quot;item&quot;'>
<div id='related-posts'>
<script type='text/javascript'>var ry=&#39;<h3>Other Tutorials For You To See:</h3>&#39;;rn=&#39;<h3>No Related Posts </h3>&#39;;rcomment=&#39;Comment&#39;;rdisable=&#39;Comments off&#39;;commentYN=&#39;yes&#39;;</script>
<script type='text/javascript'>
