LumidyTech: How to Display Instagram Feed on Your Blogger Blog?
By Lumidy's Blog NG - Tuesday, August 19, 2014
The best way to add a personal touch to your Blogger template is to include some snaps from your social media in there. Luckily, all of our Blogger Templates already include a custom made Instagram feed. However, if you’re looking for a quick solution, you can try a method below to display your Instagram moments within your blog.
- Visit lightwidget.com
- Login with your Instagram account
- Choose your settings here. I personally love including full-width Instagram feed at the bottom of the home page. These are the settings I found work best for this type of feed:
- Click on GET CODE button & copy the code from the box below.
- Go to blogger.com & select the blog you’d like to insert the feed into.
- Go to TEMPLATE-> Find Footer Widgets Area
- Click on Add New Widget option
- From the list choose HTML/JAVA widget
- Paste the code you got from Lightwidget in there + click SAVE
That’s all you have to do! Your Instagram feed should start working straight away.
P.S. make sure your Instagram account is set to PUBLIC

By Lumidy's Blog NG - Tuesday, August 19, 2014
Have you ever noticed those shop the posts widgets at the end of an outfit post? Or saw those awesome Shop My Favourites areas on our Blogger templates & WordPress themes?
If you want to help your readers to find the relevant products as well as start monetizing your blog- this post is for you.
These widgets are usually provided by affiliate programmes and these are two that most bloggers use these days:
REWARDSTYLE
RewardStyle pays a commission based on every purchase that originates from your blog. You can earn pretty high commissions on Rstyle, but it might be a bit harder to get in. Try registering tho, you might be just what they’re looking for. If you’re already a member of rstyle, all you have to do is download their plugin & install it on WordPress. Then, anytime you create a shopping feed- you will be able to include its shortcode into your posts.
SHOPSTYLECOLLECTIVE
StopstyleCollective pays a commission based on clicks. What’s awesome about this is that you can start making money on the early beginning of your blog. Setting up shop widgets from Shopstyle is also super easy, all you have to do is put your chosen products into a feed & they will generate a code for you that you can later put into your blog’s content.
Let me know if you use any of the above! Or have you tried both?
