Hello Readers, in
this article I am going to share a premium style social subscription widget.
Unziptech has already shared many useful articles featuring premium blogger
widgets, plugins, tricks etc and this post focuses on the same category. This
social subscription will enable users to like/follow you on the social networks
such as Facebook, Twitter, Google+ and subscribe your feeds using the built-in
feedburner email subscription widget. Social networks are playing a vital role
in blogging these days. The count of followers, fans and subscribers shows the
popularity of your blog/website. They also allow you to connect with your
online readers and share your content with them. You can see the preview of
this social subscription widget in the screenshot given below. Later in this
article I am going to tell you how you can add this widget to your blog.
This widget is
purely coded in HTML/CSS and there is no flash content, so it will be fast
loading widget. This widget contains premium blue square style social icons
with cool CSS effects and feedburner email subscription form. Now let us see
the procedure to add this premium looking social subscription widget to your
blog.
