Add Instagram Widget To Your Sidebar

As Instagram has gotten more and more popular, people have started really wanting to add an Instagram widget to their sidebar.

There is this really great website called SNAPWIDGET and they have the option to make a free widget. You wouldn't believe just how easy it is to do. 

It's really that simple.

1. Enter your username

2. If you want just a certain hashtag to show then just type that in. 

3. Choose your widget type. I like to do the slideshow widget. 

4. Choose your widget size. Its a good idea to know what your sidebar width is for this part. 200px is usually a good number though. 

5. You edit your photo border, background color, and hover effect. But I typically leave these three items alone. 

6. Preview your your widget and make sure it's to your liking.

7. Grab your code. It should look like this:

<!-- SnapWidget -->
<iframe src="http://snapwidget.com/sl/?u=dGlraV9vfGlufDIwMHwzfDN8fG5vfDV8bm9uZXxvblN0YXJ0fHllcw==&v=16714" title="Instagram Widget" allowTransparency="true" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" style="border:none; overflow:hidden; width:205px; height:205px"></iframe>

8. Go to your Blogger layout page and click add a gadget. Scroll down until you see HTML/JAVASCRIPT and click the little plus sign.
9. Now you just paste in that code. If you want it to be centered then you just <center>YOUR CODE HERE</center>.
10. Move the widget wherever you would like it placed and then hit save!

Now you can share your Instagram images with your readers as well!
