Blogger How to: Add Archive Thumbnails Under Posts


Have you ever wondered how other bloggers get those awesome thumbnails underneath their posts linking to   related stories from THEIR archive?  Well, it's super easy and in just a few steps I'll show you how.
First, go to LinkWithin and enter your blog info to get the widget.  LinkWithin has made it super easy to get set up with this feature that will encourage readers to want to click through archived posts.  I don't know about you but I'm a visual kinda gal and just seeing the word "Archives" in the sidebar doesn't really make me want to click on it.
Okay, back to the instructions... After you enter your blog info click on "Get Widget".

I work on the Blogger platform so I can only tell you what to do from this experience.   Now click Install Widget at the top.  If you have more than one blog, click on the one you want the widget to appear on.  Next click "Add Widget".  Go to your Blogger Dashboard and click on Layout.  Look for the "LinkWithin" gadget and move it under your posts.  Click "Save Arrangement".  That's it!  Awesome, huh?  Be prepared to see your bounce rate decrease, your traffic increase and keep your readers intrigued!!

Here is an example of what one of mine looks like...
