Tonight, I would like to share about How To Make Demo and Download Button For Blogger. This button is really important to make your post design is prettier than other. Many Bloggers use this button for displaying external link on their posts. Usually, you will find this one on website that distribute Theme, Widget or Fix Tutorial. The reader will be easy to choose Demo Link or Download Link as a first click. For example : If your blog discuss about Theme or Widget tutorial the reader needs to see the result of your project before they apply it on their blog. After seeing the demo, they will decide it's good or not. That is really helpful for the visitors to apply it or not.Style 1
