Social Media plays an important role in building a successful website. It
helps us to easily interact with our visitors/readers and also drives
massive traffic to our blog. I'm telling you with my personal experience that having a social media
subscription widget in the sidebar of a blog can help you to increase
your subscribers and followers. The more subscribers you have, the more
traffic you'll receive because your subscribers will get notified about
your new posts and they'll definitely visit your blog to check what's
new. Today
we're going to share another simple and professional looking social
media widget for blogger.
How to Add Social Media Subscription Widget to Blogger?
First and foremost, log in to your Blogger Account >> Select a Blog >> Layout >> Add a Gadget, scroll down and select HTML/JavaScript gadget from the list of gadgets. Now Copy the following piece of code and paste it in the empty widget box.<style type="text/css">
