The Best Widget To Greet Your Visitors [Greet Box]

The easiest way to turn your first time visitor in to a regular and returning visitor is to greet them personally. This widget shows a different greeting message to your visitors depending on their referrer url. You would have seen messages like these in many of the wordpress blogs (but may be not in Blogger blogs):


Live Demo (original WP style)


Live Demo (Bloggerized Widget)


Live Demo (Bloggerized Widget)


The purpose of adding this widget to your blog:
* Greet your visitors with a reference to the site from which they came
* Request them to subscribe for your blog
* Request them to stumble or tweet your post and invite them for a long term professional relationship

Instructions to add this widget:
The best position for this widget is just above your post-title. Log in to Blogger -> Layout -> Add a Gadget and select it as "HTML/JavaScipt"
Now paste this code in to it:
<script src="http://bloggergreetbox.googlecode.com/files/TextToBeDisplayedDiv-minv3.0.js"
type="text/javascript">
</script>
<div id="mainDisplayDiv" style="background:#F8F8FF;border:1px solid #B6AFA9;display:none">
<div style="float: right; margin-right: 5px; margin-top: 5px;">
<href a="#" onclick="closeGreetBox('7')"><img border="0" alt="x"
src="http://img214.imageshack.us/img214/9837/closebutton.gif"/>
</href></div>
<div id="dynamicContentDisplayed">
</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
// Give your feed url here
var feedURL = "http://feeds2.feedburner.com/bloggerstopnet";
var dynamicHTMLText = displayRequiredText(feedURL);
document.getElementById("dynamicContentDisplayed").innerHTML = dynamicHTMLText;
</script>
</div>
<script src="http://bloggergreetbox.googlecode.com/files/HideShowDiv-minv3.0.js"
type="text/javascript">
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
showHideDiv();
</script>
NOTE: Before saving the widget, replace the link in RED with the feed url of your own blog.
