Follow buttons is main source of getting followers on social networks. Since blogger doesn't provide follow buttons so you have to add it in your blog from other blogs and websites. There are many content amplification sites that provides follow and share buttons, but these buttons are not stylish and responsive and sometimes they are responsive(addthis buttons). Addthis provides responsive follow buttons but these are very small in size and also takes time to load. Previously I have created some posts in which I have shared stylish responsive follow buttons and follow buttons for header and in this post I am going to share some new kind of widget which is metro style follow buttons.
These buttons are stylish and responsive, may be you have seen metro style buttons in some blogs. These buttons are designed like windows 8, you can take a look below:
