Wrote a new plugin for WordPress and not to deprive Blogger-bloggers, imagine the same thing for Blogger, developed on the basis of my jQuery plug-in Simple Counters. So, Simple Counters for Blogger-blog. The plugin is designed as a badge-informer. Ticker displays the number of subscribers to FeedBurner and followers on Twitter.

The plugin is fully customizable. Using custom plug-in parameters can customize the color of font, color and vector direction of the gradient background color and/or theme tips, icons for FeedBurner and Twitter, both for the badge, and for the tips, positioning badge on the browser screen, etc.

Working example of a plug-in can be found on my test Blogger-blog.

Deprecated! Feedburner Awareness API is dead!

Installation

Share this plugin files on the hosting, which you use to store files for your Blogger-blog, for example, on FileAve.

Paste the following code in the header section of XML-template (Toolbar-> Design-> Edit HTML):

Do not forget to replace string YOUR_FILE_HOST to your real  hosting URL…

Customization

The user settings of plugin (scUserOptions):

  • position – right or left, output badge on the right or left of the browser window.
  • delta – the numeric value in pixels. Negative value – offsets badge up from the middle line of the browser screen, positive – offsets down to specified number of pixels.
  • dgv – the direction of the gradient background. horizontal – from left to right, vertical -from  top to bottom.
  • color – the starting color of background gradient. Six hexadecimal digits (‘#1c82d0’).
  • colorTo – the final color of background gradient. Six hexadecimal digits (‘#145181’).
  • borderColor – translucent color (40%) of badge edges. Six hexadecimal digits (‘#676767’).

Feedburner:

  • id – your Feedburner user id (//feeds.feedburner.com/Simplelib – bold text is id)
  • imgUrl – image URL for FeedBurner area of badge. 50×50 pixels, transparent background, PNG. Even if the image has another size, it will be transformed (50-50)
  • hint – Text or HTML-text for FeedBurner tip
  • hintImg – image URL for FeedBurner tip. 40×40 pixels, transparent background, PNG.

Twitter:

  • id – your Twitter id
  • imgUrl – image URL for Twitter area of badge. 50×50 pixels, transparent background, PNG. Even if the image has another size, it will be transformed (50-50)
  • hint – Text or HTML-text for Twitter tip
  • hintImg – image URL for Twitter tip. 40×40 pixels, transparent background, PNG.
Attention! In contrast to the WordPress plugin, Blogger plugin does not cache query results and displays the current values. This means that once a day, during the conversion values by FeedBurner, will be given zero value!
