<b:includable id='related-posts'>
<style type='text/css'>
#related-posts {float:left}
#related-posts ul{margin:0;padding:0;list-style-type:none}
#related-posts ul li{padding:8px 0}
#related-posts img{float:left;border:1px solid #BBB;margin-right:10px;width:72px;height:72px;background:#FFF;padding:3px}
#related-posts h3{margin:0;font-size:16px}
</style>
<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == "item"'>
<div style='clear:both'/>
<div class='col-sm-6' id='related-posts'>

var ry='<h2>RELATED POSTS</h2>';
