From The Editor's Desk:

Since, all the magic is done with the help of JavaScript. Therefore, if any users would disable the JavaScript of his browser, then it would obviously stop working. The main reason behind using the jQuery is to keep your content Search engine friendly. Another way of accessing the content is the Source Code. What are your views about the Gadget? Take a lot care till then, Peace, Blessings and happy tweeting.

We are hosting it on or server so that users can easily apply and delete them. Many user complain that they don't understand large chunk of code. For that reason we are hosting it. Secondly, it would not affect your site speed and whenever we will improve the Widget your widget would receive updated automatically.

Hope that Helps. Peace

@Syed
as we embed codes in our blogger template it got less http request. and less http request means faster loading. my blog www.abushaleh.net have 97 google pagespeed score because i use every thing less. afterall loading speed matters :D

January 5, 2013 at 1:33 PM

watz up bro,
Way you deleted my comment? every thing have pros and cons you should accept them :(

Editorial Team MOD
January 5, 2013 at 2:17 PM

Well I Don't Think so. If you host a whole chunk of jQuery in a one file. Then it would reduce the number of HTTP requests.

Embedding Never helps in loading a site faster. There is a simple theory over it.

As Per your 97 Site speed. Thats because you are not using too many jQuery. I am unable to found a Standard jQuery file on your site. While @ Templateism we have tons of JavaScript files hosted on our server and still it has 94 Page speed according to Google.

Messing JavaScript or any kind of coding here and there always decreases your site speed. Keeping that intact in one file helps in faster and smarter web.

Why WordPress never embed JavaScript? Because they always host them on their server. That helps in increasing Speed.

Hope that clears your concept.

Sorry Mate! Don't know how it went into the Spam box. I didn't do that. Its the Blogger system which automatically move it to Spam. Sorry, IF we hurt you.

We always Love when people express themselves. Take care mate. Peace

Does not work to me. :(

January 5, 2013 at 9:34 PM

@Syed,
Even Google told us to reduce number of the http request so, we should do every thing as we can to reduce http ruquest. I can embed your custom Oswald font, it will load half sec faster then now. Yes it will make you template larger but ruduce load time. :D

So Do you Think Google Web Fonts are not Great?. Well, As i Told before, instead of using/embedding too many JavaScript here and there keep a 1 jQuery file. It would not only reduce the HTTP request but would also increase the site speed.

January 6, 2013 at 2:46 AM

Hey its awesome but just tell me one thing that if I have Social Content Locker and this Twitter locker-both CSS files on my blog, won't the get disturbed as the div id in both of them is <div id="mblunlocker"></div> .Hope you understand what I mean.

Editorial Team MOD
January 6, 2013 at 2:59 AM

Nope, It would not Disturb any thing. You can feel free to try. You won't find any bug. Peace

January 6, 2013 at 4:58 AM

Nice one. Really cool. But still, it can be accessed using source code. :(

Editorial Team MOD
January 6, 2013 at 5:06 AM

Well, If we won't make it Accessible Through Source Code then Search engine would be unable to Crawl and Index the Page. Its SEO Friendly, Hope that helps. Peace

January 6, 2013 at 6:46 AM

nice one bro, my question is off topic sorry for that,
when i am craeating a new static page blogger assigning it its own URL
eg: http://domain.com/p/blog-page_6127.html
http://domain.com/p/blog-page_3314.html

so tell me what should i do to avoid that.

January 6, 2013 at 6:47 PM

I think this widget is not good, Because if you like to help them no need to lock the content.. For example if the readers has no twitter account,,how to read your useful articles if you lock your content....Peace..

I Guess You Didn't Read the Tutorial Carefully, Because we were aware of the fact that everyone don't have Twitter Account. Therefore, we added a Close Button to it. You can Enable the Close Button. locker: {close: true}, That helps in Closing the Content Locker and gives Directly access to the content.

locker: {close: true}, Replacing True to false would remove the Close button. Hope that Helps. Peace

First Write the Title of your Static Page then Start to write your content. By doing that, the Permalinks would consist of the keywords which you typed in the Title. and The URL would look fine. Peace

January 9, 2013 at 1:58 AM

hello . Thanks for awesome widget . I am looking for a widget like that hidden content should only be shown if the user likes my facebook page or follows me on twitter . For those who already likes my page on facebook, the content should be visible .How to make that possible ?

Editorial Team MOD
January 9, 2013 at 6:00 AM

Thats quite impossible because the Widget only Catches the Cache when someone likes it.

If your Visitors have already liked your site then they can again Press the Like button and the widget would Reveal that content.

We hope that Make Sense. :)

January 9, 2013 at 6:35 AM

Okay Syed .. Thanks for the reply
