1, For installing this template ,you can see my previous post on how to install Simplex Enews template .


2,To activate Disqus comment system ,open template in a word editor and search for these code :

<script type='text/javascript'>

/* * * CONFIGURATION VARIABLES: EDIT BEFORE PASTING INTO YOUR WEBPAGE * * */

var disqus_shortname = &#39;simplexenews&#39;; // required: replace example with your forum shortname

/* * * DON&#39;T EDIT BELOW THIS LINE * * */

(function () {

var s = document.createElement(&#39;script&#39;); s.async = true;

s.type = &#39;text/javascript&#39;;

s.src = &#39;http://&#39; + disqus_shortname + &#39;.disqus.com/count.js&#39;;

(document.getElementsByTagName(&#39;HEAD&#39;)[0] || document.getElementsByTagName(&#39;BODY&#39;)[0]).appendChild(s);

}());

</script>

replace the text 'simplexenews' marked in bold to your disqus short name .


find this code

<script type='text/javascript'>

/* * * CONFIGURATION VARIABLES: EDIT BEFORE PASTING INTO YOUR WEBPAGE * * */

var disqus_shortname = &#39;simplexenews&#39;; // required: replace example with your forum shortname

// The following are highly recommended additional parameters. Remove the slashes in front to use.

// var disqus_identifier = &#39;unique_dynamic_id_1234&#39;;

// var disqus_url = &#39;http://example.com/permalink-to-page.html&#39;;

/* * * DON&#39;T EDIT BELOW THIS LINE * * */

(function() {

var dsq = document.createElement(&#39;script&#39;); dsq.type = &#39;text/javascript&#39;; dsq.async = true;

dsq.src = &#39;http://&#39; + disqus_shortname + &#39;.disqus.com/embed.js&#39;;

(document.getElementsByTagName(&#39;head&#39;)[0] || document.getElementsByTagName(&#39;body&#39;)[0]).appendChild(dsq);

})();

</script>

replace simplexenews marked in bold to your disqus shortname .


find this

<div class='dsq-widget' id='recentcomments'>&lt;script type=&quot;text/javascript&quot; src=&quot;http://simplexenews.disqus.com/recent_comments_widget.js?num_items=5&amp;hide_avatars=0&amp;avatar_size=32&amp;excerpt_length=200&quot;&gt;&lt;/script&gt;</div>

and replace simplexenews to your disqus shortname  .


There are three code blocks in total .


3,After uploading template to blogger ,you can add widgets to the footer as you want .


4,If you want to add a forum to your blogger blog ,you can see my post on Vanilla forum to create one . To hide sidebar and other widget when enter the forum like my live demo ,you can search the whole template file for link ' http://simplexenews1.blogspot.com/p/forum.html ' and replace it with link to the page which embeded Vanilla forum .


5,To use lightbox , when you insert an image in post editor ,click on edit HTML edit it with following structure
<a href="link to original image" rel="lightbox"><img src="link to thumbnail/resized image" /></a>


6,To set the number of post showed in each category in the homepage ,you can modify the value of these variables as you want :

numposts  = 6;
numposts1 = 3;
numposts2 = 6;
numposts3 = 4;
numposts5 = 5;
numposts6 = 10; 

That's all for re-new version ,I also optimized the code for reducing loading time .
I hope you like these features .
