How to add Simple Email Subscription Box in Blogger?




Email subscription box is necessary for each and every blog. Because if you want to doblogging for a long term or want to engage your business with your blog then you must consider creating a list of people who want to subscribe to your blog and updates. Via the email subscription box people get interested in your blog content and if they want to be updated by you, they put their email in the box and subscribe to your RSS feeds. We can easily add an email subscription to any website or blog.

Commonly, webmasters use Google Feedburner tool for this purpose. Feedburner is a Google's tool which enables visitors to subscribe to your blog via their email box and other tools. While adding the email subscription box to your blogger blog is the easiest thing ever. Because, Feedburner and Blogger both belong to Google. In Blogger, simple email box can easily be added into your blog, because your feedburner is linked to blogger and it automatically creates RSS address for you.

Now let's start adding your simple email box to your blog.


How to add simple follow by email box to your blog?

There are two ways you can use to add an email subscription box to your blogger blogs. The first method is adding a box directly from Feedburner account and the second one is adding it from blogger's widget library. So in this tutorial we'll just add it from Blogger library itself. Follow given tips:
  1. Blogger >> Layout >> Add A gadget [Shown in Picture]
In above picture you can clearly see the indicated areas from where first you'll add a gadget and inside that just scroll down and you can find the Follow by Email widget, hit the plus (+) button and it will take you to another page as showing in below picture:
