What are Blogger condition tags?

Blogger conditional tags usually have the <b:if cond=..> starting and an ending of </b:if>.These codes are actually the condition that we keep.We use blogger conditional tags to show certain things only in homepage.or some other things only in post pages.We can there by control where the widget or item should be visible.Lets go into further details

To display only in homepage !

If we want a widget or an item to be displayed only in homepage and not in anyother pages or post pages we use the following code.

<b:if cond='data:blog.url == data:blog.homepageUrl'>
<p> This text is only visible in Homepage</p>
</b:if>

Displaying it anywhere except Homepage .

If you want any items/widget /adsense/code to be displayed in all pages except the homepage,we use the following code

<b:if cond='data:blog.url != data:blog.homepageUrl'>
<p>This text will be displayed everywhere except on home page</p>
</b:if>

Example of using the above code for a widget

<b:widget id='HTML1' locked='false' title='Testing Widget' type='HTML'>
<b:includable id='main'>
<b:if cond='data:blog.url == data:blog.homepageUrl'> <!-- only display title if it's non-empty -->
<b:if cond='data:title != &quot;&quot;'>
<h2 class='title'><data:title/></h2>
</b:if>

<data:content/>
</div>
<b:include name='quickedit'/>
</b:if></b:includable>
</b:widget>
