After several trials and errors finally we managed to design a fully equipped blogger widget that contains Facebook Like & Send button, Email Form (Subscription box) and social media icons. This widget can be found on many wordpress blogs added at the bottom of posts. It catches great attention of the visitor and forces him to like and share your article. That's why we named this gadget as "Do you like this story?" It is a more advance version of the widget I shared few days back which only offered visitors with a subscription option but this one offers a lot more. It will increase your Traffic through Facebook, Increase your subscribers, facebook fans and twitter followers. Indeed a magic box!
Add This Widget to BlogSpot Blogs
I have kept the installation process extremely easy so feel comfortable to try it.
- Go To Blogger > Design > Edit HTML
- Backup your template

Now make these changes,
- To change the colour of the "Do you like this story..?" text then simply change #FF683F with a hexadecimal color of your choice.
- Now replace http://feedburner.google.com/fb/a/mailverify?uri=tntbystc with your Feedburner Email Feed link. You can get it by visiting your feedburner account then navigate to Publicize and then to Email Subscriptions.
- Replace tntbystc with your feed title. It appear at the end of your feed link. In my case it is http://feedburner.google.com/fb/a/mailverify?uri=tntbystc
- Replace orange link with your Feedburner link
- Replace the blue link with your twitter link
- Replace the purple link with your Facebook Like Page link
After you have made all the necessary changes simply save your template and you are all done!
