Hiding Things In Blogger Mobile Site:

Every blog has something that should be only on desktop such as a gadget. But when a blogger mobile template is switched to custom every thing you have added in your blog template will start appearing in mobile view too. Here I have to mention that only those things appear in mobile sites also if you have added it in template, but if you have added something in layout as a new gadget, it won't appear in mobile site until you have enabled it. So here I am going to show you how to hide something in mobile view of blogger by using xml.

Step 1: Go to template and click on edit html.

Step 2: Click inside the code and search for something which you want to show only in desktop and hide it in mobile site.


OR

Add something to your template for example a gadget or a comment or a picture.

Step 3: Now just before the code which you want to hide in mobile site paste the following piece of code:

<b:if cond='data:blog.isMobile == &quot;false&quot;'>

and after the code(which you want to hide in mobile site) type </b:if>

Explanation:

For example you have following code and you want to hide it in your mobile site:

<html>
<body>

<em>Emphasized text</em><br>
<strong>Strong text</strong><br>
<code>A piece of computer code</code><br>
<samp>Sample output from a computer program</samp><br>
<kbd>Keyboard input</kbd><br>
<var>Variable</var>

</body>
</html>

Then according to above method your code should look like below code:

<b:if cond='data:blog.isMobile == &quot;false&quot;'>
<html>
<body>

<em>Emphasized text</em><br>
<strong>Strong text</strong><br>
<code>A piece of computer code</code><br>
<samp>Sample output from a computer program</samp><br>
<kbd>Keyboard input</kbd><br>
<var>Variable</var>

</body>
</html> 
</b:if>

Gadgets For Blogger Mobile Site:

Blogger gadgets created by blogger or other websites aren't compatible with mobile sites so you have to use special gadgets for blogger mobile site you can find some mobile site gadgets here.

Showing Things Only In Blogger Mobile Site:

If your blog has something that you would like to show in mobile site only then its possible now, how? Just use the below piece of code above the content which you would like to show only in mobile site:

<b:if cond='data:blog.isMobile == &quot;true&quot;'>

and after it just add this piece of code:

</b:if>

For example I want to show this line in mobile site only "I am fahim, you can call me FK" then in my template it should be like this:

<b:if cond='data:blog.isMobile == &quot;true&quot;'>
I am fahim, you can call me FK
</b:if>
