By adding a forum, you will get so much followers to your niche, readers to comment on your Blog posts. Forums help to make social media presence and get a huge fan base. So to embed a forum in your blog you need to do some steps.
The disadvantage of blogger is that there are no methods to add a customization forum. So we should satisfy with the scripts. Word press have plugins to add forums.
I will list the steps to add a free forum in your html template.
This one is using nabble.com. It is a good website to get scripts that can be used as a forum.
Step 1
Create a static page with a name forum like mine.https://www.shipmethis.com/p/forum.html. Copy it to a notepad.
Step 2
Go to Nabble and sign up there.Now choose options at the top and find a embedding options below it.
Step 3
Copy the code and paste it to a notepad.
Step 4
Go to html template editor and CTRL+ F for
<div id=’content-wrapper’> or <div class=’columns fauxcolumns’> or <div id=’content’>
add the following code above it.
<b:if cond=’data:blog.url == “URL of the forum”>
The Code you got from Nabble
</b:if>
Step 5
Go to </head>
and add the below code above it.
<b:if cond=’data:blog.url == “FORUM URL”‘>
<style type=’text/css’>
#content-wrapper {
display:none !important;
}
</style>
</b:if>
You need to change the css code of step 5
#content-wrapper to #content or .columns, .fauxcolumns
