newsletter-subscribe-boxI earlier posted many newsletter subscription box widgets for blogger blog, that you can use on your blog on different parts to gather more and more subscribers. But today I am posting subscribe box widget that I designed personally for my own website, well this one looks clean, simple and use nothing but few images and the work of CSS. So you can already see the box in the image on the right.

So now using this box you can easily get more readers to subscribe to your Feedburner newsletter which will automatically deliver every post you publish on your blog right to their email address. Now just check below steps and add this widget to your blog.

  1. Open Blogger > Template > Edit HTML.
  2. Press Ctrl + F & search for ]]></b:skin> tag & paste below code above it.

  3. Now visit Blogger > Layout > Add Gadget >HTML/JavaScript.
  4. Now add below code into it and Save it.

    <div id="sidebar-subscribe-box"><div class="sidebar-subscribe-box-wrapper"><p>Subscribe to our email newsletter & receive updates right in your inbox.</p><div class="sidebar-subscribe-box-form"><form action="http://feedburner.google.com/fb/a/mailverify?uri=hackinguniversity" class="sidebar-subscribe-box-form" method="post" onsubmit="window.open('http://feedburner.google.com/fb/a/mailverify?uri=hackinguniversity', 'popupwindow', 'scrollbars=yes,width=550,height=520');return true" target="popupwindow"><input name="uri" type="hidden" value="HackingUniversity" /><input name="loc" type="hidden" value="en_US" /><input class="sidebar-subscribe-box-email-field" name="email" autocomplete="off" placeholder="Enter your email address :)" required="required"/><input class="sidebar-subscribe-box-email-button" title="" type="submit" value="Subscribe Now !" /></form></div></div></div>
