How to add a blog post recommendation pop up to Blogger

Hey Everyone!

A Wordpress blog friend of mine was looking at this blog the other day and noticed a little blog post recommendation pop up as she was scrolling down the page. It's a friendly pop up, an unobtrusive pop up, that only appear in the sidebar area when you scroll down. The recommendation was for something she was interested in and it kept her engaged with my blog longer. She thought it was pretty cool and asked me how I did it. I have found lots of posts about how to do cool things on Wordpress, but not so many about Blogger. If you did the eeny meeny miny mo like I did, and ended up with Blogger, here's a how to post especially for you!

  • I clicked on HTML/Java Script, then right clicked and pasted into the content box. I clicked Save within the pop up box, then save Arrangement on the main webpage. It doesn't matter where this box is positioned. It won't be seen on your blog page.

  • Now, when people scroll down your page, they will see a small unobtrusive pop up on the bottom right corner of the screen with a recommendation of another blog post they may like.
