There are many 'Related Posts' solutions for blogger platform, like the one I have on my blog. Almost each one of them require lot of changes in the template code. Finally, I have discovered an excellent solution to this, which only requires 3 lines of code to be embedded in the template. Let's see how to implement this excellent way to show related posts in blogger.
