Add Widget to provide Button-Link to your Blog.

You can now add a widget to your blog with a button which when clicked adds a button link to your blog from the reader's blog. This is done automatically without the reader having to type in even a line of code.....

First create a button by going to http://cooltext.com/Buttons and create a button for your blog. Then upload this button picture to a freehost like Googlepages and copy down the url of the picture. Let us call it : URL OF YOUR BUTTON PICTURE.


To do this go to Layout from the Dashboard after logging in to your account. In the Page Elements section click on Add Page Element link in the sidebar. In the new pop up window which opens choose Html/Javascript option. In the content section paste the following code :

<form action="http://beta.blogger.com/add-widget" method="POST">

<input value="FAVOURITE" name="widget.title" type="hidden"/>

<textarea style="display:none;" name="widget.content">





</textarea>
<input
value="http://buzz.blogger.com" name="infoUrl" type="hidden"/>

<input
value="http://www.blogger.com/img/icon_logo32.gif" name="logoUrl" type="hidden"/>

<input value="LINK TO THIS SITE" name="go" type="submit"/>
</form>
<p>Click above button to get a button link to this blog</p>

In the middle code replace the Capital letters with the appropriate values. Add all the above code in blue including the code in the middle picture. Click on picture to enlarge it. Then save the widget.

View blog. You will see below button in your sidebar:





When a reader clicks on this button he is taken to a page where he has to select his blog where he wants to add the link to your blog as shown below :




Here the reader can change the Title and edit the content if he/she wants. On clicking Add Page Element the link is added to the Page Elements tab in the sidebar of his blog. He/She can then rearrange its location in the blog by drag and drop method.

Using this method I have added it to my blog in the right sidebar at the bottom.
