Adding Blogger Related Post Responsive and loading fast

Actually this is a related post modification from DTE that I made responsive by adding show hide title post effects with hover. The responsive display is pretty good both on desktop and mobile.

And it looks cleaner because only the thumbnails are displayed, while the title post will appear when the thumbnail is hovered over the mouse or cursor. The composition of the thumbnails can be made 2 columns or 4 columns easily on the desktop display.

For those who want to try it, please follow the steps below.

1. Please copy the CSS code below.

Please save the code above the code </head>

A. Display 2 columns

<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == &quot;item&quot;'>
<style type='text/css'>
.related-post{width:auto;margin:10px -10px 0;padding:0;}
.related-post h4{margin:0 10px!important;background:none;font-size:30px;font-weight:bold;padding:0;color:#666;}
.related-post-style-3,.related-post-style-3 li{margin:0!important;padding:0;list-style:none;word-wrap:break-word;overflow:hidden;width:100%;line-height:1.1em}
.related-post-style-3 .related-post-item{display:block;float:left;width:50%;height:180px;padding:10px 10px;margin-bottom:10px!important;border-left:1px solid transparent;-moz-box-sizing: border-box;-webkit-box-sizing: border-box;box-sizing: border-box;position:relative}
.related-post-style-3 .related-post-item:first-child{border-left:none}
.related-post-style-3 .related-post-item-thumbnail{display:block;margin:0;width:100%;height:170px;max-width:none;max-height:none;background-color:transparent;border:none;padding:0;transition:all 400ms ease-in-out;}
.related-post-style-3 .related-post-item:hover .related-post-item-thumbnail{opacity:.6}
.related-post-style-3 .related-post-item-tooltip{position:absolute;padding:10px;background:rgba(244,131,106,.6);bottom:-150px;left:10px;right:10px;text-align:center;transition:all 400ms ease-in-out;}
.related-post-style-3 .related-post-item:hover .related-post-item-tooltip{bottom:0}
.related-post-style-3 .related-post-item-title{color:#000;text-align:center;padding: 0px 0 10px;font-size:100%;font-weight:bold;width:auto!important; height:auto;transition:all 400ms ease-in-out;}
.related-post-style-3 .related-post-item-title:hover{color:#fff}
.clear{clear:both}
@media screen and (max-width:375px){.related-post-style-3 .related-post-item{width:100%;}
}
</style>
</b:if>

Look at the margin code in the following code:

.related-post{width:auto;margin:10px -10px 0;padding:0;}

Please adjust the left and right margins if it is not evenly aligned with your posting area, please set the value to -10px .

B. 4 column display

If you want to use a 4 column view, please replace the width:50% code that I marked with the width:25% code and add the code below.

@media screen and (max-width:800px){.related-post-style-3 .related-post-item{width:50%;}}

So the code as a whole becomes as below

<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == &quot;item&quot;'>
<style type='text/css'>
.related-post{width:auto;margin:10px -10px 0;padding:0;}
.related-post h4{margin:0 10px!important;background:none;font-size:30px;font-weight:bold;padding:0;color:#666;}
.related-post-style-3,.related-post-style-3 li{margin:0!important;padding:0;list-style:none;word-wrap:break-word;overflow:hidden;width:100%;line-height:1.1em}
.related-post-style-3 .related-post-item{display:block;float:left;width:25%;height:180px;padding:10px 10px;margin-bottom:10px!important;border-left:1px solid transparent;-moz-box-sizing: border-box;-webkit-box-sizing: border-box;box-sizing: border-box;position:relative}
.related-post-style-3 .related-post-item:first-child{border-left:none}
.related-post-style-3 .related-post-item-thumbnail{display:block;margin:0;width:100%;height:170px;max-width:none;max-height:none;background-color:transparent;border:none;padding:0;transition:all 400ms ease-in-out;}
.related-post-style-3 .related-post-item:hover .related-post-item-thumbnail{opacity:.6}
.related-post-style-3 .related-post-item-tooltip{position:absolute;padding:10px;background:rgba(244,131,106,.6);bottom:-150px;left:10px;right:10px;text-align:center;transition:all 400ms ease-in-out;}
.related-post-style-3 .related-post-item:hover .related-post-item-tooltip{bottom:0}
.related-post-style-3 .related-post-item-title{color:#000;text-align:center;padding: 0px 0 10px;font-size:100%;font-weight:bold;width:auto!important; height:auto;transition:all 400ms ease-in-out;}
.related-post-style-3 .related-post-item-title:hover{color:#fff}
.clear{clear:both}
@media screen and (max-width:800px){.related-post-style-3 .related-post-item{width:50%;}
}
@media screen and (max-width:375px){.related-post-style-3 .related-post-item{width:100%;}
}
</style>
</b:if>
