On the recent post showing how to Display A Default Avatar For Anonymous Comments a comment by RedCherii asked “How do you put those little icons beside your post details (author, date, label) and make them appear below your post title?“.The icons and details RedCherii asked about can be seen below the title of this and every post on Spice Up Your Blog.So for Redcherri and anyone else who likes them, in this post i will show you how to add them to your blog.What we are adding is the default Author Name, Post Date And Labels from the post with 16×16 icons to the left of each.I also have a pipe character splitting each, the code will be placed in your template to display this directly below the post titles.

Add Author, Date And Labels With Icons Below Posts Titles

Step 1. In Your (New Design) Blogger Dashboard Click The Drop Down Menu For Your Blog > Choose Template > Then Edit Html > Now Proceed > Tick The Expand Widget Templates Box as shown in the video Below :
