Hello Readers, in this article we will learn how to put a
twitter follow box similar to the Facebook like box in your
blogger blog. You can put this widget in any JavaScript enabled webpage. Social
networking websites have become a vital part of blogging these days. One such
micro blogging-cum-social networking website is twitter. Today I was searching
for this kind of twitter widget and came across Moopz. They have developed this widget which looks identical to the
Facebook like box. It allows your visitors to follow you quickly on twitter and
see some familiar faces of your followers. Later in this post you will find the
live demo and tutorial to add this widget in your blog.
How to add twitter follow box to blogger
·
Login in to your blogger
account.
·
Navigate to the layout section
of your dashboard.
·
Click on “Add a gadget” where
you want this widget to appear on your blog.
·
Select a text/JavaScript widget
from the pop-up window.
·
Copy and Paste the following code
in that window.
<script
type="text/javascript"
src="http://s.moopz.com/fanbox_init.js"></script><div
id="twitterfanbox"></div><script
type="text/javascript">fanbox_init("the_GeekGuru");</script>
src="http://s.moopz.com/fanbox_init.js"></script><div
id="twitterfanbox"></div><script
type="text/javascript">fanbox_init("the_GeekGuru");</script>
·
Now before saving you need to
make a little change in the code. Just replace my twitter username (highlighted
in red) with yours.
·
Now save the widget code.
·
Click on view blog from the
layout window and see this widget in action.
Customization:
As
you can see there is not much of JavaScript code present here to make customization It is because the whole code is stored in an external
JavaScript file hosted on the url highlighted with green color. The code above
just invokes a function to make this widget appear on your blog. In order to
make customization you need to host that script on your own server or blog but
I do not recommend this, because they might have copyrights for this code. This
is a 300px x 300px widget and could be easily placed in your sidebar without
any customization.
This
is not an official twitter widget as I mentioned above in this article, but it
is surely a handy widget which can help you increasing your twitter follower’s
count. We all know these counts and stats are important these days in blogging
and show the popularity of your blog. I hope you get the whole procedure but
still if anyone needs more help, don’t hesitate to comment here. I love to hear
from my readers and would be glad to help you.
