HOW TO: Hide Linkwithin on Blogger Home Page.

I recommend linkwithin to every blogger but many feel it takes too much space for every blog post making the website to load very slowly. Actually that is correct if you show 5 blog posts on your home page Linkwithin will render for every post.

This can create many problems for blog reader as well as Google Bot which visits your blog. But there is a very simple tick to show Linkwithin only on blog posts and hide it from home page.

Just follow these simple steps. Before you proceed further take a backup of your template (very important).

1. Go to Blogger ⇒Dashboard ⇒ Template.
2. Edit HTML⇒ Proceed
3. Click on Expand Widget Template.
4. Simple search for </body>
5. Add below code under the </body>

<b:if cond="data:blog.pageType == "item"'>
Paste your LinkedWithin Code here.
</b:if>

 

6. Simply Save and check.

Now your blog will load a lot faster than it used to before. This trick is very handy for those who use jump breaks to display many blog posts in the home page. I guess many people do that. So please share it with your friends so that they can also create a better user experience for their blog readers.
