How to get a Scrolling Instagram Widget


Scrolling Instagram widgets seem to be the thing right now. And if you're completely incompetent at doing layout stuff like me, then the thought of doing this might seem daunting. But I've done it!

I tried to do this around Christmas time but for some reason it just did not work! Thinking about it now I don't think I put '@' in front of my Instagram username. But anyway...

First off, Google 'snap widget'. Obviously click on their website, you will be welcomed with a screen like this; 



And from there you want to click 'get your free widget' this will then take you to a form page, fill this out and when you choose scrolling it will say thumbnail size and width size. I went with 150 px for thumbnail and 900 px for the width, with these I literally guessed. But you can go in to your blog to double check the width of the layout. Choose auto scrolling and then decide if you want the scroller to fade in or out. 


Click preview and then click 'get widget' and it will give you the code for your scrolling widget, copy and paste this.

 Next open Blogger and go to 'layout' then click add a gadget below the header. 

Here you need to choose HTML/JavaScript. Then Simply paste the code into the main box and title the gadget. Click save. You can move the gadget around, mine is below my header.


Click preview on blogger to see if the widget is the correct sizing, if it isn't I'm assuming you would just repeat the whole process and put in the exact sizings you want as the thumbnail and width.

I really hope this helps some of you! I love having this as it has almost given my blog a complete new look, it adds personality and I find makes my blog page look more together! 

Let me know if you do this so I can check out your fancy new widget!

Charlotte Tilbury Magic Away Concealer Review

Image
Charlotte Tilbury is a brand that I absolutely love. However not being near to a store can sometimes make me a little hesitant to purchase online. The products I have managed to pick up in store are 100% keepers in the makeup bag. Both the Magic Foundation and the Light Wonder Foundations are products that I think are fantastic - ended up with shade 3 for both foundations. Although my magic foundation is pretty much empty now.  However you’re all here to read a review on the New Magic Away Concealer*. Concealers are products I just forget to invest in. I am literally that girl that rushes into boots a week before payday to pick up something ‘that’ll do’. So it is definitely nice to try something that hasn't been picked up in my lunch break.  First off the packaging – all packaging from CT if fabulous, it definitely gives off 1920s vibes. There is a window to view how much of the product is left – a handy feature if you don’t mind me saying. I also love the little

I was literally half way through doing my 'What I got for Christmas' when my best nine for Instagram was ready, once uploaded I was like ah isn't that nice my top liked pictures of 2015. Then I thought, I'm guna talk you through these pictures, cuz why the hell not?! 2015 bestnine  Top Left: These sandals I bought in an attempt to cheer myself up after a bit of an argument with my boyfriend, they were in the sale which made me happy. This also marks my blog starting to include more fashion posts.  Top Middle: This picture was from a monthly favourites review (I believe it was March favorites), I had just received my Zoeva brushes for my birthday which I still absolutely love! And finally got my hands on velvet teddy. Top Right: Who'd have thought that my boyfriend would have such good baking skills that  his cake got in to my top nine?! Every year we try and make the biggest and best birthday cake we possibly can! It tasted lush and was mana

Holiday Outfits Part 1

Image
Holiday look books. Do people even like these? For those of you who dont know I took a late holiday to Sharm el Sheikh, Egypt to catch some rays! I wouldn't say this was a complete look book because I didn't document every single item of clothing I wore. But I do have a handful of outfits which I loved wearing and putting together. This will probably feature over 2 or 3 posts just so it isn't a heavy read!  First Up ....Swimwear!! The bikini. Yes it's similar to the Triangl bikinis which rocked my Instagram newsfeed for the majority of last summer, I think the colour and style is fun and laid back. This bikini came from Missguided and in terms of fit I was really surprised. Normally I struggle with sizing and I very apprehensively bought a size 10, normally the top part is far to small for me. But a massive thumbs up to Missguided and myself for fitting into the bikini top perfectly! There was also a gorgeous baby blue and peach bikini identical to this which I
