How To Change Blogger Default Language and Time Zone

It's important to choose the right time zone  and language for your blog, so that your posts appear with the correct dates, times and language. Also, if your time zone is incorrect, Blogger may think some posts are dated in the future, in which case they wouldn't be published. Everyone has their own preferences for what they would be using and what they would not. By default, Blogger dashboards come up with the English language. which can be changed easily to any other languages like Spanish, French, Arabic, Urdu, Hindi and etc. Our First Step is changing a time zone and in second step is for changing language.

Change Blogger Default Time Zone

You can change the time zone of your blog by going to the Settings | Language and formatting tab, and changing the setting for Time Zone under the "Formatting" section. Choose the correct option from the list, and click the orange button at the top to save your settings. Like Screenshot below.

Change Blogger Default Language

1. Login to your blogger account.

2. After logging into your account follow the steps below



Go to http://www.blogger.com/  where you will notice written English (United Kingdom or United Estate) on the top right corner of your screen just above the list of your blogs. Like Screenshot below







You have successfully changed the default language of the Blogger dashboard. Now you can browse it in your own native language.

Note:- If you have more then one blogs and you want to change just  1 blog language then you can change only 1 blog language by going to language and formatting.. where we change time zone..

We hope this  post helped you on How to change the default language of Blogger. If you faced any problem then kindly do not hesitate to let me know. It would be a pleasure to be at your service. I will write more tutorials in this week so that you may get all the latest updates.

Target Your Widget or content any where with conditional tags

In this post I going to show you how add widget, buttons or anything else only on home page, post page, static page and only Selected post. you can do that with conditional tags. Conditional tags are Blogger template tags that allow you to specify parts of your template to appear only under certain conditions. The Conditional Tags can be used in your Template files to change what content is displayed and how that content is displayed on a particular page depending on what conditions that page matches.

 

Conditional tags syntax

 

Update on 26-5-2013

The Syntax is Like This

<b:if cond='PUT_CONDITION_HERE'> 
</b:if>

Condition is entered as the value of the cond attribute. Each (opening) <b:if> tag need to be closed with a closing </b:if> tag.

 

Below is List of Conditional Tags

Just make sure you include the closing </b:if> tag when applying a conditional in your template.

 

1. Index (list) pages

Index pages include homepage, labels page and yearly archive page.

<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == "index"'>

2.  Home Page Only

<b:if cond='data:blog.url == data:blog.homepageUrl'>

3. Post (item) Page Only

<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == "item"'>

4. First Post

This is not a page, but a conditional for the first post.

<b:if cond='data:post.isFirstPost'>

5. Static Page

<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == "static_page"'>

6. Archive Pages

<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == "archive"'>

7. Specific Page/URL

<b:if cond='data:blog.url == "PUT_URL_HERE"'>

8. Post and Static Page

<b:if cond='data:blog.url == data:post.url'>

9. Label-Search Pages

<b:if cond='data:blog.searchLabel'>

You can place these conditional tags any where in your template HTML Area. If you have any Trouble post your comments below I will try to make possible..thanks for reading our post.

How to apply Conditional Tags

To apply a conditional tag to a content, simply  put the content between the opening <b:if cond��> and the closing </b:if>, like Below code.

<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == "item"'>
Here is Your CONTENT
</b:if>

in the example above, the content or widget show only on post pages..  I am writing a few  more examples as soon as time Allow.
