    Hi Hassan, i have already posted a comment here
    https://www.exeideas.com/2013/12/list-grid-view-post-switcher-for-blogger.html
    and this post also is also awesome as the above one,
    here when i have seen the preview of the webiste , i found that when switching the view from list to grid
    and then moving to next page using the buttons available at the bottom the view is again switching back
    to the list view, can you please modify the code so that once a view is selected all the posts should appear
    in that mode only even when you browse through the pages.

      That One Require JQuery And I Don’t Want To Make The Code Lengthy And Heavy As Its Against SEO. I Will Also Post That But Very Later Because Its Not Important And Useless For Pro.
