My little hack-related post widget in post page only

I need this hack to do,When I set linkwithin widget to show related post widget ,it worked nice.

But it also appear in my main page and archive page.I only wanted it to appear in my post pages only.
So I have done this simple hack-
When click on the install widget add widget page open in a new window.
There you will see edit content and edit template option.
Click on edit template.
In edit template you will see the following code-

[Code that exist]

<b:includable id="main">
<data:content />
</b:includable>

Replace this code with the following code.Thats it.Then save it.And follow the instruction in linkwithin.com

[Code that to use or replace with]

<b:includable id="main">
<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == &quot;item&quot;'>
<data:content />
</b:if>
</b:includable>

Some fact-related post widget with linkwithin

• Its fast but for new post it does not show accuracy.


• Its not reliable,I think.It do the url redirecting.When click on the related post link you will see the url redirecting for a second.Some browser might show issue with it.


• As there are no other options until blogspot provide related post widget we can use linkwithin related post widget hapily :)
