How to Add Description in Videos:?

In your videos you might notice a text called "Description"? Well, we have added a technique through which you can show the meta description of you videos not only to search engines but also to the human visitors. To enable this feature go to Blogger ›› Settings ›› Search preferences ›› Description ›› Yes ›› Save.

Now while writing new posts make sure to add "Search Description" to show it in your posts as well.

How to Customize Video Slider:

This video slider supports Vimeo and YouTube videos. To customize this slider, go to Blogger > Template > Edit HTML and search for the following piece of code:

<ul id='mbl_playlist'>

Now on finding the above code you will notice a couple of Vimeo Video URL, replace them with either Vimeo video URL or YouTube video URL and save your template.

How to Customize Feature Label Area:

The first thing you need to do is to go to Blogger.com ›› Your site ›› Layout ›› Add a Gadget ›› Add HTML/JavaScript and paste the following code in the HTML Text box.

<script style='text/javascript'>
var numposts = 4;
var showpostthumbnails = true;
var displaymore = false;
var displayseparator = false;
var showcommentnum = false;
var showpostdate = false;
var showpostsummary = false;
var numchars = 75;
</script>
<script src='/feeds/posts/summary/-/Feature?orderby=published&alt=json-in-script&callback=showrecentpostswiththumbs'></script>

Now either replace "Feature" from the following coding to a keyword that you want to use as a Label so show up posts in this featured area. On second thoughts, you can tag your posts with "Feature" label and those posts would start appearing. Note: This feature only works with YouTube Videos.
