How to Manually Place PrintFriendly Button to Blogger Blog

Last Updated: May 12, 2012 05:36PM PDT

You can manually add the PrintFriendly button to your blog in four easy steps. If you prefer a simpler way, you can use blogger's built-in add widget tool.


Step 1: Get the PrintFriendly button code.

  • Goto www.PrintFriendly.com/button.
  • Select Blogger/Blogspot.
  • Select your preferred button style.
  • Click add code directly to template.
  • Copy the code in the text box that appears.

     

Step 2: Prepare to edit your blog's HTML template.

  • Log in to your blog dashboard. 
  • Click Template on the left navigation menu. 
  • Click Edit HMTL below your blog thumbnail.
    * If nothing happens, note that PrintFriendly currently works on any of the Classic Blogger/Blogspot templates. We are still working on getting this to work on the new Dynamic View template.

     
  • A warning message will appear. Click Proceed.

     
  • An Editor window will appear. Click on the check box next to Expand Widget Templates

     


Step 3: Paste the PrintFriendly button code.

  • Find <data:post.body/> in the Editor window.
    * Tip: Press "Control" and "F" on keyboard to search.
  • Paste the PrintFriendly button code above <data:post.body/> to make the button appear above your posts. Paste the code below <data:post.body/> to place the button below your posts.
    * Careful: There's two versions of <data:post.body/>. Use the first (web) not the second (mobile).
     


Step 4: Preview and save your changes.

  • Click Preview
  • Click Save template
  • Enjoy!
