    [Re:FIXED]
  8. You can adjust the maximum number of related posts being displayed by editing this line in the code.
    var maxresults=5;
  9. To edit the title of the widget you can change this line of code.var relatedpoststitle="Related Posts";
  10. To change the default thumbnail, you can edit this line of code.
    var defaultnoimage="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinI48w8KYFjJzyWSWvEiPbCsE0cH24k7EmKGJpksKHLtF-Zy2X_2ZlRKbchY3HKC_7W3wF7uIYzgnI-pKR4HqZwCwi9M0iWyLMJnM-aV_YwhjNqL4dmtSZm3JW9g6CtB2p4WamR9wsbc0/s400/noimage.png";
  11. To Change the Colour of the Splitter Line , edit.
    var splittercolor="#d4eaf2";
To change the other colours and all you will have to modify the CSS
If you fall into troubles implementing this,don't panic.. You might also like this Widget for blogger or Related post widget .just leave me a comment here and i will help you out. If you like to give me any suggestions on how to improve this widget,then it would be really great.
How to display the related posts on every page and not only on the post pages?
Just remove the two lines starting with <!-- remove --> from both step 5 and step 7.
that is lines
<!-- remove --><b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == &quot;item&quot;'>
and
<!-- remove --></b:if>
After listening to the comments by all of our visitors this code has been updated.
