How I Created Feed Widget That Displays Updates From Mobilitaria.com

An RSS feed widget that displays updates from mobilitaria.com has been added to the sidebar of this blog. I set it up in a way that it displays updates from a specified tag of the WordPress blog.

The widget is responsive, blends with my blog's theme and opens links in new window. It supports auto-scroll and offers lots of options you can tweak to customize it the way you want it to display.

If you want to create something similar, you can use FeedWind, available at : http://feed.mikle.com

All you just need to do, is to enter your feed URL and you are good to go.

Once you are done with the configuration, copy & paste the widget code to HTML/Javascript gadget (for blogger blogs) or Text widget ( for WordPress blog).

Hence, if you've integrated popups on your blog, you might have to review the integration. If you've added popup to your blog after reading my tutorial on how to create MailMunch popups, don’t panic!

MailMunch makes it very easy to avoid the punishment. The team at MailMunch published a post on their blog, highlighting the options you can explore in other to avoid been hammered by Google.

Edit your pop up, click on "Behavior" tab, click on "Display Rules", turn off the popup on mobile and tablet devices and click on publish form > Finish.

Option B) Make your Popups smarter

For mobile devices, you can use embed forms instead of popup forms. Mailmunch offers a great variety of beautiful embed forms that can be placed any where on your site. You can put them above, below or in between your content.
