Blogger Reactions Widget

This item was filled under [ Wordpress ]

Good news! Blogger has another feature which is simply “Reactions” , with this new feature it will be easy for us to get feedbacks from our visitors.I just liked it!

To enable the reactions widget, make sure you’re using Blogger in draft mode. Then switch to the Layout settings tab for your blog and in your Blog Posts page element, click the Edit link. In the new window which opens, you’ll see the customizable reactions item.

Adding Reactions Widget to Custom Blogger XML Templates
By Amanda

You will need to add the required code to your template manually.

In this case, go to Layout>Edit HTML in your Blogger dashboard and check the “Expand widget templates” box.

Next, search for the following line of code (or similar):

<p class=’post-footer-line post-footer-line-1′>

Immediately after this line, add the following section of code:

<span class=’reaction-buttons’>
<b:if cond=’data:top.showReactions’>
<table border=’0′ cellpadding=’0′ width=’100%’><tr>
<td valign=’center’><span class=’reactions-label’>
<data:top.reactionsLabel/></span>
</td>
<td><iframe allowtransparency=’true’ class=’reactions-iframe’ expr:src=’data:post.reactionsUrl’ frameborder=’0′ name=’reactions’ scrolling=’no’/></td>
</tr></table>
</b:if>
</span>

Preview your template to see the “Reactions” add-on appear beneath each of your blog posts, and finally, save this new addition to your template.

If you cannot find the “post-footer-line” in your blog template, search for <p><data:post.body/></p> instead, and paste the code immediately after this line.

    I am using Langit and I suppose a customised template can’t use such wonderful features. Oh great one you found a way with ratings, can you find a way with this? Please?

    I have a problem with this widget which I hope you can help to solve. I installed the above widget and it appears fine. I clicked on it and it registered one vote so I thought it was in working order. Next time I enter my site again the number goes back to 0. So I tried again, refreshed the page and again it becomes 0 again. Is there something wrong? My site is at

    Try any of the post. Everytime I refresh the votes disappear and goes back to 0. Please help!
