Previously, we have already showed you away on how to add a contact us widget in blogger
. However, you might have noticed that sometimes users find it difficult to locate your contact us page link because it is located somewhere deep down into your footer. What if you are running an eCommerce site on blogger and your customer needs to send a quick query email to the support to find some desire information. Since, your contact us page is located deep down the footer he may not send any email and would move to another better site taking away all the possibilities of making a new sale. A simple solution to this problem is to have a floating contact us widget. Today in this article, we will show you how to add a floating contact us widget in blogger.
The live preview of this widget can be seen on this page
.
The very first thing you need to do is to take a backup of your template, so in case you did not followed the bellow instructions properly you can use the backup to restore the template.
Go to Blogger >> Template >> Edit HTML >> Click anywhere in the HTML template editor and press (CTRL+F), this will enable a search box. Now search for skin tag and just above it paste the following CSS style sheet coding.
#mbl-contact .ContactForm {
margin: 0px!important;
}
#mbl-contact .contact-form-button-submit {
max-width: none;
width: 100%;
height: 35px;
border: 0;
background-image: none;
background-color: #FA411E;
cursor: pointer;
font: normal normal 13px Open Sans;
font-style: normal;
font-weight: 400;
}
.#mbl-contact .contact-form-button-submit:hover {
background-color: #222;
background-image: none;
border: 0;
}
#mbl-contact #contact {
position: fixed;
bottom: 0;
right: 1%;
background-color: #EEE;
color: #555;
width: 300px;
z-index: 1.0E+15;
}
#mbl-contact #contact .contact-form-widget {
padding: 30px;
display: none;
}
#mbl-contact #contact {
position: fixed;
bottom: 0;
right: 1%;
background-color: #EEE;
color: #555;
width: 300px;
z-index: 1.0E+15;
}
#mbl-contact #contact h2.title {
margin: 0px;
font-weight: 400;
background-color: #FA411E;
color: #FFF;
padding: 8px 15px;
font-size: 16px;
cursor: pointer;
letter-spacing: 3px;
text-align: center;
}
#mbl-contact #contact h2.title .fa {
position: absolute;
left: 10px;
top: 12px;
}
#mbl-contact #contact .contact-form-widget {
width: 240px;
padding: 30px;
display: none;
}
#mbl-contact #contact * {
transition: all 0 ease;
-webkit-transition: all 0 ease;
-moz-transition: all 0 ease;
-o-transition: all 0 ease;
}
#mbl-contact #contact .contact-form-name,#contact .contact-form-email,#contact .contact-form-email-message {
background-color: #DDD;
color: #111;
border: 0;
padding: 10px 5px;
font: normal normal 13px Open Sans;
}
#mbl-contact .contact-form-name,.contact-form-email,.contact-form-email-message,.contact-form-widget {
max-width: none;
margin-bottom: 15px;
}

<div id="mbl-contact">
<b:section class='contact' id='contact' maxwidgets='1' showaddelement='yes'>
<b:widget id='ContactForm2' locked='true' title='Contact us' type='ContactForm'>
<b:includable id='main'>
<b:if cond='data:title != ""'>
<h2 class='title'><i class='fa fa-paper-plane'/> <data:title/></h2>
</b:if>
<div class='contact-form-widget'>
<div class='form'>
<form name='contact-form'>
<input class='contact-form-name' expr:id='data:widget.instanceId + "_contact-form-name"' expr:placeholder='data:contactFormNameMsg' name='name' size='30' type='text' value=''/>

<div style='text-align: center; max-width: 222px; width: 100%'>
<p class='contact-form-error-message' expr:id='data:widget.instanceId + "_contact-form-error-message"'/>
<p class='contact-form-success-message' expr:id='data:widget.instanceId + "_contact-form-success-message"'/>
</div>
</form>
</div>
</div>
</b:includable>
</b:widget>
</b:section>
