Plugin Preview There are literally hundreds of social media sharing plugins that can display social share button for WordPress, blogger and many more are added each day. Today we have a great social subscription plugins with simple design, which we have created early, its a second version of our previous social subscription plugins with tooltip. In the updated version we have removed some CSS reset bugs and also make some addition in the plugin layout.

 

The plugin allow visitors to join social networks, such as Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Google Plus,  Rss Feed, Linkedin, Tumbler and the lastly on YouTube.

 

Why Social Plugin Important: A Writer Chuck Price share an article on Search engine watch before 3 months ago and said social profiles are very important for boosting your search engine ranking. Read the statement below or you can read full article about ranking, traffic and backlinks.

 

“Think about where your target audience spends their time. Is it Facebook, Twitter, pinterest? You need to be there as well. Like blog and forum communities, getting to know people via social media opens up link opportunities.”

 

So now leave the discussion and go ahead to add social plugin to your blogger blog.

before adding see live demo by clicking the live preview button below.

 

Update: Bug Fixes for alignment and added Responsive Mobile friendly width property. For the example of update you check the great tutorial written by martin wolf.

    border-top: 10px solid #446cb3;
}

.social_profiles li a:hover span {
    opacity: 0.9;
    bottom: 50px;
}

 

Now lets go and do one more step…

 

5. Now again look for the following code in your Template:

 

<b:includable id='postQuickEdit' var='post'>

 

Normally there are three instances of the tag present in your template ( post-footer, post-footer-line-1, post-footer-line-2 like this.

you just need to locate post-footer  (from top) one.

 

6. Paste the following code immediately below (after) opening post-footer div:

 

<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == &quot;item&quot;'>

<div id='social_profiles-wrap'>
<p>Don&#39;t Miss Any Update, Join Us on Social Networks.</p>
<ul class='social_profiles'>
<li><a class='facebook' href='http://www.facebook.com/mybloggerstricks' target='_blank'><span>Facebook</span></a></li>

<li><a class='gplus' href='https://plus.google.com/b/103598710564060829080' target='_blank'><span>Googl+</span></a></li>
<li><a class='pinterest' href='http://www.pinterest.com/mybloggertrickx' target='_blank'><span>Pinterest</span></a></li>

Email Feed After a long we are back again with a beautiful subscription box, If you aren’t building a email subscription widget, you’re missing significant opportunities to capture leads, build community, and create a sustainable way to communicate with those who are interested in what you have to say (and/or sell). Your subscriber is like diamond and it’s a resource you must develop, nurture and grow. It doesn’t matter what type of business or nonprofit work you are in or how big or small you are. You need to build your email subscription. But simply putting a newsletter sign-up form on your site isn’t the most effective thing you can do.  It’s also about how you place it on your site, what tactics you use to drive subscribers and it’s a LOT about content… what you share and how you communicate with your email subscription list so that you provide them value. So today we sharing with you a subscription widget with elegant design we have used image for background and also use HTML5 required attribute and some eye caching CSS3 effects we hope you may like it.

 

What our subscription widget is going to look like. See image below.

Little brief about HTML5

We will use HTML5's new required tag. Right now, different browsers will do different things when a form using HTML5 elements is submitted. When the form is submitted, most browsers will prevent the form from being submitted and will display a "hint" to the user, marking the first field that is required and has no value.

 

HTML5 validation works according to the type attribute that is set within the form fields. For years HTML only supported a handful of type attributes, such as type="text"  but with HTML5 there are a over a dozen new input types including email and url which we are going to use in our form.

  2. It is estimated that in year 2014, Asia-Pacific will build its revenue by another 30%.
  3. Industry experts state that in US, online retail sales will increase as much as 57% till 2018.
