Remove Drop Shadows from Images on Blogger

By default Blogger adds drop shadows to images. This can be very annoying especially if you have images in your sidebar that are part of the blog's design. It applies the shadows to all images so today I'm going to show you how to remove them. It is very easy thanks in part to the Blogger template designer's recent update.

So here goes!

Log in to Blogger and navigate to Template > Customise > Advanced > Add CSS

Then copy the following code and paste into the 'add CSS' box.


.post-body img, .post-body .tr-caption-container, .Profile img, .Image img,.BlogList .item-thumbnail img { padding: none !important; border: none !important; background: none !important; -moz-box-shadow: 0px 0px 0px transparent !important; -webkit-box-shadow: 0px 0px 0px transparent !important; box-shadow: 0px 0px 0px transparent !important;}

Click on 'Apply to Blog'.

There you have it. The drop shadows have disappeared. Easy peasy isn't it?
