Prerequisites

Before we dive into the process, there are a few things you need to have in place:

2. Basic knowledge of HTML and CSS: We'll be making some modifications to your Blogger template, so having a basic understanding of HTML and CSS will be helpful.

Step 1: Create a New Page

To begin, you'll need to create a new page on your Blogger website. This page will serve as the location where the age calculator tool will be displayed. Follow these steps:

1. Log in to your Blogger account and navigate to the Blogger dashboard.
2. From the left-hand menu, click on "Pages."
3. Click on the "New page" button.
4. Give your page a title, such as "Age Calculator."
5. In the content area, add the following code:

 

Use JavaScript

{<script> let display = document.getElementById("display"); let input = document.getElementsByTagName("input"); let button = document.getElementsByTagName("button"); let time = document.getElementById("time"); let disBlock = document.getElementById("disBlock"); let disBD = document.getElementById("disBD"); let creditBlock = document.getElementById("postCredit"); let credit = document.getElementById("credit"); let about = document.getElementById("about"); disBlock.style.display = "none"; creditBlock.style.display = "none"; let dob = new Date(), today = new Date(), calTime; function samay() { let d = new Date(); time.innerHTML = d.getHours() + " Hours, " + d.getMinutes() + " Minutes, " + d.getSeconds() + " Seconds Old"; } function calculate() { disBlock.style.display = "block"; creditBlock.style.display = "block"; credit.innerHTML = "Thank You For Visiting<br>I am Techly360.com"; let x = input[1].value.split("-"); dob.setDate(x[2]); dob.setMonth(x[1] - 1); dob.setFullYear(x[0]); let year, month, day, HBD; day = (function() { if(today.getDate() > dob.getDate()) { return today.getDate() - dob.getDate() - 1; } else if(today.getDate() == dob.getDate()) { return today.getDate() - dob.getDate(); } else { let calDate = new Date(dob.getFullYear(), dob.getMonth() + 1, 0); return (today.getDate() + calDate.getDate()) - dob.getDate() - 1; } }()); month = (function() { if(today.getMonth() >= dob.getMonth()) { if(today.getDate() >= dob.getDate()) { return today.getMonth() - dob.getMonth(); } else { if((today.getMonth() - 1) >= dob.getMonth()) { return (today.getMonth() - 1) - dob.getMonth(); } else { return ((today.getMonth() - 1) + 12) - dob.getMonth(); } } } else { if(today.getDate() >= dob.getDate()) { return (today.getMonth() + 12) - dob.getMonth(); } else { return ((today.getMonth() - 1) + 12) - dob.getMonth(); } } }()); year = (function() { if(dob.getMonth() == today.getMonth()) { if(dob.getDate() > today.getDate()) { return (today.getFullYear() - 1) - dob.getFullYear(); } else { return today.getFullYear() - dob.getFullYear(); } } else { if(dob.getMonth() > today.getMonth()) { return (today.getFullYear() - 1) - dob.getFullYear(); } else { return today.getFullYear() - dob.getFullYear(); } } }()); HBD = (function(){ if(today.getMonth() == dob.getMonth()) { if(today.getDate() == dob.getDate()) { disBD.innerHTML = "OMG it's your Birthday<br>Happy Birthday To You<br>"; } else { disBD.innerHTML = ""; } } else { disBD.innerHTML = ""; } }()); display.innerHTML = "Hi Dear " + input[0].value + ", <br/>You are " + year + " Years, " + month + " Months, " + day + " Days, "; calTime = setInterval(samay, 1000); } button[0].onclick = calculate;//when calculate button is clicked function reset() { input[0].focus(); display.innerHTML = ""; time.innerHTML = null; clearInterval(calTime); disBlock.style.display = "none"; creditBlock.style.display = "none"; } button[1].onclick = reset;//when the reset button is clicked </script>}

Step 2: Add Age Calculator Tool Code   

Use CSS

Next, we'll add the actual code for the age calculator tool to your new page. The code will consist of  CSS and JavaScript. Follow these instructions:

1. Locate the line in the code where it says <!-- Age Calculator Tool Code Goes Here -->.
2. Replace that line with the following code:

 

{<style> @import url('https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Gotu&display=swap'); body { background-color: dodgerblue; font-family: 'Gotu', sans-serif; color: white; } label { font-size: 20px; } form { text-align: center; } input { border: 0; padding: 10px 20px; font-size: 20px; border-radius: 50px; margin: 5px; } h2 { text-align: center; } button { padding: 10px; width: 300px; margin: 10px 0; font-size: 20px; border: 0; } button:focus, button:hover { background-color: black; color: white; } p { text-align: center; } div { border: 1px solid white; background-color: black; text-align: center; } #postCredit { background-color: powderblue; color: black; } a { text-decoration: none; color: black; display: block; padding: 10px; background-color: white; } a:hover { background-color: cyan; } h1 { background-color: black; margin: 0 0 20px 0; padding: 10px; text-align: center; } </style>}

Step 3: Customize the Styling  

Use HTML

Now that the age calculator tool is functional, let's make it visually appealing by customizing the styling. You can modify the HTML code provided earlier to match your website's design. Here's an example of how you can style the tool:

 

{<h1>Age Calculator Tool</h1> <h2>Hey Dear, What's your name? <br /><input type = "text" placeholder = "Enter Your Name" autofocus/></h2> <div id = "disBlock"> <p id = "disBD"></p> <p id = "display"></p> <p id = "time"></p> </div> <div id = "postCredit"> <p id = "credit"></p> <a id = "about" href="https://www.facebook.com/rohit.baidya.338/" target="_blank">Know More About Me</a> </div> <form> <label>Enter Your Date of Birth: <input type = "date"/></label><br /> <button type = "button">Calculate</button> <button type = "reset">Reset</button> </form>}

Feel free to adjust the styles to match your website's aesthetic preferences.
