The World is in a lock-down, we are all aware of it. Due to many factors you may want to show some message on your Blogger.com blog to notify your readers about what's going on for you.
In this quick tutorial I will quickly show a simple and efficient way to display a message on your blog / website hosted with Blogger. You do not need any coding experience, just basic knowledge of copy-pasting work.
Copy this code and then go to your Blogger Dashboard -> Layout -> Add A Gadget on any area on the layout
Click on the plus sign next to the "HTML/JavaScript" widget
Now paste the code from above in the content area, and make sure the option on the top right shows "Rich Text", this means that we are currently in HTML mode.
We do not need to enter any title for the widget. Save it.
If you know a bit of JS coding you may be able to edit the configuration of the message by altering some variables in the code. In any case you will still want to edit the message that it shows, so before you save the code you can edit the message part in the code.
