Live Demo
Features:
- Subscription box for increasing your subscribers.
- Follow us buttons for your readers to get connected on your other networks.
- Social sharing buttons
- Facebook like box which will increase your fans
The main features are quite noticeable at first look but there are some minor features which you won’t be able to notice. One of them is the golden or blue glow. If you are using Chrome, you would see a golden glow while using any text box or login form. Similarly, in new versions of Firefox you see a blue glow by default. We have removed that glow so that the default values of a browser do not get mixed up with widget.
We have also made the subscribe button to look similar in both Firefox and Chrome browser which have issues with padding. If we didn’t do that, the button will look different in Chrome, somewhat misplaced. Some CSS3 transition effects have been used to give smooth feeling on hover in combination with box-shadow.
And guess what, all these many features in a single widget have been presented in a neat and compact manner with a size of just around 10KB.
