Hack updates

Hello all,

Here is your round of hack updates which covers recently introduced new hacks for blogger beta.

1. Expandable/collapsible post with Peek-a-boo style (updated to Super peek-a-boo)

Ramani has come out with another hack where in users can provide their reader with a summary view of their post and a peek-a-boo style link to view the rest of the post. This is a very good hack for people like me who use one blog for publishing hacks, writing musings, diary notes, book reviews etc. And it also allows one to display more number of posts on the main page with out making the posts section super long.

Update (Sep 22):Ramani and Hans of beutiful beta have jointly developed a modified version of this hack (super peek-a-boo) which allows one to have expand/collapse post feature and skip offering this functionality where they don't want it. You can down the hack from hackosphere or beautiful beta. A non-beta implementation is also available on their blogs.

2. Hoctro's hacks

Talking of flexibility, Hoctro has been doing wonders. He has brought out a series of hacks on blog navigation and template design. I highly recommend you check out his recent hacks like:

a. Creating a Table of Contents
b. Yahoo-ui-libraries for blogger beta
c. Adding breadcrumbs navigation
