Social media counters are very popular these days, so we have brought a tutorial for you how to add simple sidebar social counter widget for blogger. This is a very simple and smooth widget. It is built only with CSS and HTML, making it fast loading and cross browser compatible. It has various social media profile buttons with active links and counting numbers that are easily replaceable through layouts in simple steps.
With the help of this widget, you can show your social media followings very gracefully. It does not update automatically because some social media sites do not have proper API support for Blogger. So we have made it a manual where you can show your approximate number of followers.
Add Widget
The first thing you need to do is log into your Blogger account and click on >> Layout >> Add any gadget to your layout >> Add HTML / JAVASCRIPT Widget and in the spaces below Paste the code.
