More subscribers mean more power to you in terms of free and instant highly targeted traffic to your every new blog post.
So I came up with another version of sidebar subscription box widget for blogger which is more elegant than the previous version of this widget, just evolving by the time. :)
Previously designed subscription box widget was an average just because I had used some out of box type settings and you had to customize it's settings in CSS to make it look like as it was shown in the screenshot.
But this time it is super easy to customize and you need not to play with the CSS part except changing the color codes which is a super easy task, anyone can do it.
Key Features Of This Subscription Box Widget
1) Fully Responsive Design.
2) Super easy to customize the colors and text content.
3) Social Profiles' Links in the bottom.
4) Use of Font Awesome icons with beautiful hover effect.
5) Made with pure CSS and HTML so it loads very fast.
6) Needs not to mention but it is stylish. :)
NOTE:- You do not have permission to COPY and SHARE my code on your blog. Neither you can remove the Credits given in the CSS comments. CSS comments do not appear on your blog. Neither they provide me any backlink nor they affect your blog in anyway so keep them intact. Respect the hard-work of others'. Play it safe and clean. :)
*BONUS:- I have included a backlink in the bottom of subscription box and you can remove it simply from the HTML part if you wish to. Choice is yours! My blogger widgets are always neat and clean, just all what you need.
So here we go with the Demo Screenshot of our new stylish subscription box widget, see below.
So did you like this widget? Here is how to install it into your template step by step.
Installing Sidebar Subscription Box Widget to Blogger Template
First of all we need to add the Font Awesome icons' CSS Stylesheet link to our blog in case you are not using it already.
Step 1) Logged into your blogger account? Now
select your Blog > go to
Template Section > Click on
Edit HTML. Now let the template code box load.
Step 2) Now click anywhere inside the template code box and press Ctrl+F to open a search box inside. Now find out this opening
<head> tag and just below it, paste the Font Awesome icon's link given below as it is.
<link href='http://netdna.bootstrapcdn.com/font-awesome/4.3.0/css/font-awesome.css' rel='stylesheet'/>
Note:- I have used Oswald font family in demo but I am not including it in the code below because your template may be using a different font family already. So avoid using multiple font families to maintain our blog load speed, it is necessary. I am using
inherit for font-family so that your blog's default font family will automatically be loaded.
Step 3) Now save your Template code and
go to Layout Area of your blog. This time click on
"Add a gadget" link in the sidebar and
add a HTML/JavaScript widget. Now paste the whole CSS and HTML code given below after making required changes given just below the code in editing step.

Editing:-1) Changing the color schemeFor changing the default color, just find out this color code
#FF5959 and replace it with the color code of your choice. Please note that you'll find this code three times in the above CSS so just replace it three times with the same color code of your choice. Be careful with the text color too because white text may not appear properly in some colors so just change the text color too.
2) Changing Main HeadlinesThey are highlighted in the very beginning of above HTML code so change those all if you wish to or let them as it is.
3) Changing FeedBurner AddressThis is the important step so change my feedburner address
TwistBlogger which is highlighted two times in the HTML. Replace mine with yours two times.
4) Removing the BacklinkMy backlink to this post is highlighted in
Light Blue color so remove it or keep it. :)

5) Final step is just to remove my Social Profile Links and add yours. These links are highlighted in
Red Color at the bottom of HTML so replace them with yours.
