A very important thing in blogging is to gain traffic but why gain traffic if we can't maintain it? well you must always treat your visitors good responding to their questions,because blogging requires a good connection to the followers and visitors and if your going to blog without thinking on the readers then you are probably fail.
One of the ways to connect to your readers is to add a welcome bar, and that is what i'm going to teach you today how to add a Welcome Bar from Addthis.

How to Add it

To add a welcome bar it's very simple just follow these steps:
  • Go to Addthis
  • Login or Register
  • click on Social Plugins
  • Click on Welcome Bar
  • Personalize it and add a custom text if you want and grab the code
Now that you choose the colors,personalize and copied the code go to:
  • Blogger
  • Layout
  • Click on add a gadget 
  • Choose HTML JavaScript
Now paste the code you copied on the box and save it.

Personalize your welcome bar

A blog must have always a good look so when you choose the colors of your welcome bar make sure that they fit with your blog for example this is the Welcome Bar i choose for Blogger Pack.

Benefits of this welcome bar

Well it welcomes people XD, no but really it has great features for example:

  • Recognize the person who comes to your blog
  • Have an option to share and follow
  • It stays good with almost all the navbars
  • It fits with your blog good look                                                                
Share and Follow with the welcome bar

As i said above this Welcome bar now where your visitor come, for example if your visitor come from Google it will welcome then and have an option to share by +1.
The same things happens for Social Media if your visitor come from Facebook or Twitter it will welcome then and give an option to like or twit.

When your personalizing your Welcome bar you can choose a welcome bar with share or Follow, Share comes by default but if you want a follow option instead of a Share option just follow these steps:


  • Go to Social Plugins 
  • Welcome Bar
Then in the same place where you personalize the colors of your welcome bar click on Button Action and put it as follow.
