Releasing Mash Mashable Inspired Premium Blogger Template
Mashable, obviously the resource portal for all bloggers. But more than that, we all too love their design. So why would I talking about Mashable here? The reason being Mash – the Mashable look alike Blogger template. Mash template was a Mashable inspired Blogger template developed to give the same feel in Blogger platform blogs. The template is available for free download and hope you all love my piece of work.
Features
- Automatic thumbnail image with read more
- Uber cool subscribe widget
- Floating social bookmarking widget, as seen in Mashable
- Facebook and Twitter share button on every post in the homepage
- Top banner ad spot for 460×68
- Two column navigation
- Numbered page navigation
- Trending post bar on the top of each post
- Three column footer and much more
Subscribe Widget
To add your profile links to the subscribe bar icons, search for <div id=’subscribe’> in the template and replace your profile links appropriately.
Floating Social Bookmark Widget
Since the template uses Mashable styled floating social bookmarking bar, you need to replace the default button values with your usernames. So to change that, search for <div id=’sharebox’> and replace the default profile usernames with yours.
Trending post widget
Trending post widget shows up important post on your blog. But this isn’t automatic. Users have to enter their own blog post title and link to show up in the top of each post page. To change the URL and the post title, search for <div id=’archiveboxx’> and change it appropriately.
Navigation bar
The template has two column navigation system. To enter the exact url for navigation search for <div id=’top’> and change the link URL to match the url in your blog post. For the second column nav bar search for <div id=’submenu’> and do the same.
Let me know your feedback about this plugin. If you are looking for WordPress version of this theme, check it out here. Also thanks to Theme Junkie for inspiring me to release Mash template.
Note - Don’t try to remove the footer links. If you really value my work, keep the footer links as it is. It also encourage me to release even more fremium themes in the coming days.

Add Comments Ratings To Your Wordpress Blog
Comments are the best way to increase interaction within the post. Not only for increased interaction, it also provide valuable suggestion to the blog author. If you have used Intense Debate or Disqus, we have the option to rate a comment. Why do we need this? Well, to be frank it gives an opportunity for users to rate others comments. This would encourage even the users to drop in good comments. But rating won’t be an effective system, if you have a tutorial kind of stuff on your blog. So overall, it depends with the necessity of the bloggers and its quite helpful too.

How To Enable Nofollow Links On Intense Debate Comments
Among the two popular commenting system Intense Debate was there, with millions of users. Intense Debate comments basically looks good with cool features and plugins. However, there is a little drawback in the commenting system and that is lack of nofollow option. Since spammers take advantage of dofollow comments blog for a link back, why do we need to give a backlink for a spammer? Literally you shouldn’t allow that. So, here is a little tweak to make both the avatar link and the link that comes inside the comment box nofollow.
To disable nofollow links, I am using the script made by Thaya Kareeson using his jQuery code to add nofollow to external links. Download this javascript and upload this on your own server. If you dont have your own server, you can use my link.
For WordPress – Go to footer.php and paste the code before </body> and save it
For Blogger – Go to Edit Html and paste the code before </body> at the end of the template and save it.
