A Simple Widget for Your Blog
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed or get my updated posts via email. Thanks for visiting Kisahberuang.com!
It is good to be back after a few days away due to the celebration of Aidil Adha recently. I have been receiving a few queries on how to put the link to my RSS feed using the widget at the bottom right of this blog page and therefore, I might as well share it with all of you who wants to have that as well.
Before I go on, please take note that I am not a programmer and therefore, my explanation would not go beyond my limited technical knowledge. Furthermore, I found this piece of code while hopping around from one blog to another and I could not remember where I learned this but this method was mentioned in a few blogs out there. So, blog hopping is not really a waste of time after all…
This method is the simplest that I have found so far. The other method that I learned was more complex and required that you have access to your hosting server. So, for the benefit of those who are not self hosted, I have decided to teach you this simple coding and it is what I am using too.
CAUTIONS: I am not responsible for any damage to your blog so do this after you have backed up your code and at your own risk!
Below is the code that you need to copy to your HTML file.
<div style="display:scroll;position:fixed;bottom:5px;right:5px;">
<a href="http://your own URL here" title="your own title here">
<img style=border="0" src="the location of your image file here" alt="your own text here"></a></div>
You need to copy this code right after the <body> tag if you want to load it first or before the </body> tag if you want to load it last, in your HTML file. If you do not know how to do that, I suggest that you go and read a bit about your theme file / HTML file as without that basic, I do not recommend that you touch it.
After you have copied the code above, replace the part as indicated in the code above with your own URL as well as your own image location. The texts are optional but it would be nice of you to add them in.
You can experiment with the location of the image by changing the value starting from the "display and before the closing ".
You may need to press F5 if nothing happened after you have updated your HTML file and if still nothing happenen after that, you must have done something wrong. This should work on any self hosted wordpress blog as well as any Blogger blog. I have no knowledge about any other blog platform out there.
Another thing to note is, if you have copied the code above to your Notepad, just pay attention to the ” sign as Notepad tends to change it and it would not work if you just copy from it directly. Just retype all the ” and you will be okay.
That’s all for now and enjoy your new skill.

Bro, will this widget slow my page loading rate? I have received few complaints last month on how slow my page was. So, I deleted some of less important widgets to increase my loading rate. Do you think my site is still slow?

bluedude, it is only a small code and as for me I load it last and therefore, does not really slow down anything. As for you blog, I just loaded it and the only slow part is when it is loading something called h1.ripaway.com. That took more than 10 seconds and once that was done, everything else was quite fast…

halo there. hehehe. nice tutorial. i see that bluedude’s blog has a very good traffic from USA. Would be better to monetize either using adsense and chitika.
