  1. Go to Blogger > Template > Edit HTML.
  2. Now press Ctrl + F and search for </head> tag & paste below code above it.

    <script src='https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.6.4/jquery.min.js' type='text/javascript'/>
    <script type='text/javascript'>
    $(document).ready(function(){
    $(".post img").fadeTo("slow", 1.0); // This sets the opacity of the thumbs to fade down to 30% when the page loads
    $(".post img").hover(function(){
    $(this).fadeTo("slow", 0.5); // This should set the opacity to 100% on hover
    },function(){
    $(this).fadeTo("slow", 1.0); // This should set the opacity back to 30% on mouseout
    });
    });
    </script>
