How to Add a Followers Box to Your Blog

06.18.2013 by Jessica Kings //

A few months ago, Blogger changed the built-in followers box option to one that uses Google Plus – but a lot of people have asked me over time how to add the original followers box that you see on most blogs.  Well… it took quite a bit of research but here it is!

How to Add a Followers Box to Your Blog

I looked though and attempted so many different tutorials online for this… and I found the best one at Southern Speakers. I hadn’t seen this website before but I suggest you check it out because it has a lot of great items!

Happy blogging!

    I really wanted to add a followers gadget to my blog, but apparently now you cannot add one unless you are using blogger. It definitely makes it harder to know how many followers you have. Some people follow me with network blogs and some with Bloglovin now, but I still don't really know the numbers.
    Google plus has lots of people with me in their circles and I have lots of people added to my circles, but I find that now that I am using Bloglovin I don't get there as often.
    What do others do that don't have blogger websites?
