Two Metro Style Subscribe And Follow Widgets For Blogger

Posted: 07 Feb 2014 06:29 AM PST

Last month we published 35 Wordpress Plugins for 2014, a collection of plugins we thought would be the most popular this year.In that list you will find one plugin I really liked, the Metro Style Social Widget.The plugin displays a block of metro social icons linked to your social profiles.So I thought can we get this plugin to work on Blogger ?

A search showed a number of people had tried to recreate the widget for Blogger but often with messy results.So building on their lead I had a go at creating a proper version, in fact two version.The reason for creating two versions is to accommodate the social networks different bloggers have.

The first version has icons for Facebook, Twitter, Google Plus, Pinterest, and RSS Feed.For the second one I have included LinkedIn and YouTube.I have included a screenshot below but also see the demos to see the gadgets live.
