How to Add a pop-up Social Sharing Window With Countdown Timer to Your Blogger Blog

In a post I have written previously, I demonstrated how to add a Facebook pop-up Like box to your blog. Now what if there is not only Facebook in the pop-up box but have more social sharing buttons like Twitter, Google+, Stumble Upon sharing buttons? That will be cool right? Your visitors will land into your blog and find the Social Sharing pop-up when the page loads and you might end up getting your blog page shared to some social network sites by

some of the visitors. This will boost the social appearance of your blog and possibly drive a large amount of traffic from social media. The pop-up I am going to discuss will pop-up for a period of 30 seconds and asks your visitor to share or wait for the specified time. He/she may close the window if he/she wish to.

Step I: I presume that you are logged into your blogger account and in your specific blog Dashboard. If you are not logged in, you have to log into your account.

Step II: Go to Layout. Then add a new HTML/Javascript Gadget wherever you want in your blog.

Step III: copy the following code snippet and paste it into the HTML/Javascript widget.

<script type="text/javascript" src=" https://googledrive.com/host/0Bxkt_m71GCSObGxYem1CSWJBUGc">
</script>        
<script>       
$(document).ready(function(){
$().socialTrafficPop({timeout: 30,
title: "Welcome To TechBhuvan.com ",                   
message: 'Please Sahre and <em>Help Us To Grow</em>! ',
google_url: "https://plus.google.com/u/0/104145073681843312357",
google_size: "tall",
fb_url: "http://www.facebook.com/TechBhuvan",
fb_layout: "box_count", closeable: true,
advancedClose: false,
opacity: '0.45',
twitter_on: true              
});
