How to add 'You might also like' widget for blogger

EDITED!!!
After a series of problems faced by the users we finally found a way to make this widget work properly. Please leave a comment below in case of any problems.


In some blogs and websites you may have seen this ‘You might also like’ widget somewhere below the posts in the footer part. It will help you to keep your readers for some more time on your blog. Here in this tutorial I will take you through a set of instructions on how to add ‘You might also like’ widget for blogger.

i. First of all go to linkwithin. website.



ii. Fill the form with,
Your email
Your Bloglink
1.                 Your blog url (with http://)
2.                 You can decide how many stories you want to show below posts, May be set to 3,4 or 5.
3.                 Now choose Light Dark Combination if your blog has light background then leave it blank otherwise check that Box
4.                 Choose the platform as 'Other'. Click on 'Get Widget!'.
5.       Choose one option and click on continue.( I opted the second).
6.       You will get a HTML code.

LinkWithin - techpro365.blogspot.in


Go to layout of your blog and click on 'Add a Gadget'. Copy and paste the code (that you will get after clicking "Get Widget!" of the LinkWithin page) in the content of 'HTML/JavaScript' type and save it. Drag and Drop the LinkWithin box under the "Blog Posts" box for better performance.

If you have any genuine problems regarding this post feel free to contact me.

    1. Sorry to say this I don't know how to change the number of stories. Actually the linkWithin site is kind of broken or something. The site is showing error notification when i tried.

  5. Thank you so much for help, now the code works when I copy it to the HTML/JavaScript -place and take the space away between them two texts.
    But I have one more problem with this, it doesn't show the posts from my blog, it shows posts from your blog?!? I mean that the widget is on it's right place and it shows posts but there are no posts from my blog at all, they are all links to your site, just like after this tutorial there is that "you might also like" -widget and it has links to your other posts...
    I would be so thankful if you could help me again and tell what is wrong. It almost works now, and I really want it to work perfectly. Thank you a lot again!
