One of the traits of successful bloggers is their ability to turn visitors to subscribers. As a blogger, you need to build your subscribers list so that they will always get to know whenever you post new stuffs on your blog in their inbox even when they are not online. Using this method will help you keep your blog visitors as readers and also increase your blog traffic. The best and proven way to do this is to add a styled feedburner email subscription form right under your blog posts.
A styled feedbuner widget has been designed for blogger/blogspot blogs along with social media buttons. With the presence of the social media buttons, you will be building your Facebook fans, Twitter followers and Google+ circle alongside your feed subscribers.
As a blogger, before you can add the styled feedburner widget to your blog, you must have burnt your feed with feedburner and have a URL ready. If you’re new and haven’t burn your feed with feedburner, it’s easy, you can register for a feedburner using your Google account by following the steps outlined below:
1. Go to feedburner.google.com, login and on the start page, burn your feed and your feed address should look like this – http://your-site.com/feeds/posts/default
2. On the next page, you need to configure the feed, enter your desire name and note the unique address. Follow the next steps that follow to activate the feed.
How to Add the Styled Feedburner to Blogger
1. Login to your blog dashboard
2. Go to Template.
3. Then search for <data:post.body/> but if you’re seeing more than one <data:post.body/> in your template, then search for <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-1'/> or <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-3'>. Make use of Ctrl + F to search for it.
4. Immediately after the code, paste the code below:
<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == "item"'>

5. Now save your template and view your blog to see the new feedburner email subscription form below your blog posts.
What you Need to Change in The Code
http://feedburner.google.com/fb/a/mailverify?uri=JustNaira – this should be replaced with your own feedburner email subscription link. .
JustNaira – this should be replaced with your feed title. You can get your feed title at the end of your subscription link url.
http://feeds.feedburner.com/JustNaira – this should be replaced with your feedburner link.
http://twitter.com/xxxxxx – this should be replaced with your twitter profile link.
http://www.facebook.com/xxxxxxx– this should be replaced with your Facebook profile or pae link.
https://plus.google.com/1***************/ – this should be replaced with your Google+ profile link.
