Once you have pasted the code change Teck92 (which occurs at 2 places in the code) with your Feedburner ID. Finally save the widget and the template.

You are done now. Now you and your visitors can see this Cool Facebook Like elegant Subscribe box in your blogger blog and subscribe to your receive all the recent posts directly in their inbox.

With the introduction of latest search preferences by Blogger, BlogSpot blogs are now far more optimized than they used to be before. One of the features was "Errors and redirections" The "404 Error" in simple terms is a page that appears when a broken link is clicked and it tells the visitor that the page he clicked no more exits or is deleted. The error page loads inside your post body surrounded a dull grey box. By default you can only add plain text along with HTML tags inside the "Custom Page Not Found" input box using search preferences option page. The message display using this technique looks pretty ugly and we would therefore need a better approach to design a creative 404 Message for a BlogSpot blog. First kindly see a demo of our error page:

Design 404 Error Page For Blogger

The reason why a box appears around the error message is because of Blogger's default style sheet for status messages. We would therefore override the existing style sheet for the error_page alone using conditional statements. I will be using the CSS code prepared by my friend aneesh joseph which really make things simple and would add slight modifications to make the error box more attractive.

Our 404 page will prompt visitor that he has landed a wrong page and will provide him three important options which are:

Go Back to the page from where he came from. We will use JavaScript here.
Contact the Admin and inform him about the broken link. This will help you track broken links
And finally to provide a link to homepage.

So lets get to work to achieve all the above. Simply follow the easy steps below to display 404 error message uniquely.

Go To draft.blogger.com > Settings > Search Preferences
Click on Edit link next to : Custom Page Not Found
Inside the box paste the following code:

<div class='Teck92-404-box'>
<p style='line-height: 30px'><strong>
<font color='#ff0000' size='5'>
Oops!
</font> <font color='#666666'>
Looks like you either clicked a broken link or a Page that no more exits. Kindly do one of the followings:
</font></strong></p>
<ol style='line-height: 25px'>
    <li><a href='javascript:history.go(-1)'>« Go Back</a> </li>
    <li>Report the Problem to us by <a href='http://contact.Teck92.Blogspot.com'>Clicking Here</a>    (<em>This will help us serve you even better</em>) </li>
    <li>Go To Homepage by <a href='http://www.Teck92.Blogspot.com'>Clicking Here</a>
      <br/></li>
</ol>
<p>
    <br/>
    <br/>
    <br/></p>
<p align='center'><font color='#0080ff' style='font-size: 150px'><strong>404</strong></font></p>
<p> </p>
<p align='center'/>
<p align='center'><font size='5'>Page Not Found!</font></p>
</div>

Make these customizations:

You can edit the bolded texts with anything you like
Replace http://contact.Teck92.Blogspot.com with link of your contact page
Replace http://www.Teck92.Blogspot.com with your homepage link

   4.   Click the Save changes button and you are half way done.
    5. Now go to Template > Edit HTML
   6.   Search for this ]]></b:skin>
    7. Just below it paste the following code stylsheet code:

<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == "error_page"'>
<style type='text/css'>
.status-msg-wrap {
    font-size: 100%;
    margin: none;
    position: static;
    width: 100%;
}
.status-msg-border {
    display:none
}
.status-msg-body {
    padding: none;
    position: static;
    text-align: inherit;
    width: 100%;
    z-index: auto;
}
.status-msg-wrap a {
    padding: none;
    text-decoration: inherit;
}
.MBT-404-box {
background:#FFFFFF;
width:98%;
margin:10px 0px;
padding:20px 10px;
border:1px solid #ddd;
-moz-border-radius:6px;
-webkit-border-radius:6px;
border-radius:6px;
box-shadow: 5px 5px 5px #CCCCCC;
}
</style>
</b:if>

     To change the background colour of the box edit #FFFFFF
    8.   Save your template
    9.   Done!
Visit any page of your blog that do not exist to see it working just perfectly. You may type anything after your blog address to see the 404 error appearing. For example like:

Animated Loading Page Effect 2014 For Blogger/BlogSpot

Every blogger wants his blog to look best among his competitors blogs. This widget will add a bit more chunks of awesomeness in your blog.

The concept of this widget is simple. This is more or less like Exit Effect we add in Microsoft Powerpoint's Custom Animation. Just like that whenever the visitors will click any link to leave the current page, inspite of the old boring loading it will have animation.

To add this effect to your blog do the following things.

Adding the HTML and Script

Add the below given code just above </body>.

<style>
#abt-page-loader {
        position: fixed!important;
        top: 0;
        right: 0;
        bottom: 0;
        left: 0;
        z-index: 9999;
        background:#000 url('https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihGSZ1QJvAu1p62k_o195GdqLeBecbAKTI6QamWVVzwCd017oVyCyc4Z93D5ty8tBFqiKw6NsNCEv1FSFUqfveM2omKpfkp_HjUE6wN-QUaFnFjoGNbUcV84QgJpzeuF6Cc_FIofWLOro/s200/load6.gif') no-repeat 50% 30%;
        color: #FFF;
        display: none;
        font: 0/0 a;
        text-shadow: none;
        padding: 1em 1.2em;
}
</style>
<script type='text/javascript'>
//<![CDATA[
$(document.body).append('<div id="abt-page-loader">Loading...</div>');
$(window).on("beforeunload", function() {
    // ... Show the Animation `.fadeIn()`
    $('#abt-page-loader').fadeIn(1000).delay(6000).fadeOut(1000);
});
//]]>
</script>

After adding this code, save the template.

You are done now. Now you and your visitors can see this awesome and cool Animated Page Loading Effect in you blogger blog.

Floating Share Buttons For Your Blogger/BlogSpot 2014

CODE UPDATED !
Note: Does Not Work On Small Posts.

This tutorial will help you in adding Floating Social share buttons under every post of your blogger blog. I personally use this widget in my blog.

The widget is light in size and looks elegant. In every post after scrolling the widget will pop up at the lower bottom of the screen. The widget contains four social sharing buttons - Facebook, Twitter, Google+, LinkedIn. There is a close button too to close down the floating share buttons.

Once you have seen the demo to add this widget in your blog just follow the below steps.

Adding the Marker

First go to Blog Title → Template → Edit HTML. Press Ctrl + F and search for <data:post.body/> code and paste the below given code just below <data:post.body/>.

NOTE : There maybe more than one <data:post.body/> so make sure that you have selected the right code.

<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == "item"'>
<div id='md-active-share-comment-marker'/>
</b:if>

Add the code and follow the next step.

Adding the HTML/CSS/JS in HTML Editor

To add this widget you have to go to Blog Title → Template → Edit HTML and add the below given code just above </body>. The code has been optimized and made lite so it loads faster.

     <b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == "item"'>
    <script src='https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/76401970/All%20Blogger%20Tricks/abt-floating-share.js' type='text/javascript'/>
