Allowing your users to print your blog posts with just a single click is something that is pretty cool. On the other hand, almost all browsers provide the flexibility to print a web page by just going to “File” and “Print”. Different people have different choices and different people like to have a print feature on their blog posts for different reasons. You may just like to add a continent way. When users can print your posts with just one click then why they should be doing some complicated processes? In this article, we will show you how to add a quick print button to your Blogger blog.

The First thing you will be doing is to login into your Blogger Dashboard. Now After logging in, go to your blog >> Template >> Edit HTML >> Search for <div class='post-footer'> and just above it paste the following code. Once everything is done, press “Save Template” button to conclude the process. 

<div style="float: left; padding-left: 10px;">
<a href="javascript:window.print()" rel="nofollow">Print this Article</a></div>

I still don't see a print button show up on the post or the blog page. I tried this with Print Friendly too and no go.

Can you show us an example? I see you don't have a print button on your blog.

When I hit control-P on this blog post I get a jumble of header and sidebar items and not just the blog post. That's why I'm looking for a button. I will try your idea.

Also, there is no image available in the "style" example that you gave us.

Same here. I followed the instructions but I don't see any changes in my blogger layout.

We have updated the tutorial, now its works fine. Just to give a test run go to Blogger >> Add new Post >> Revert to HTML VIEW >> And paste this code there

<div style="float: left; padding-left: 10px;">
<a href="javascript:window.print()" rel="nofollow">Print this Article</a></div>

Now HIT Preview and See it works quite well.

Hi!

I can't find the line anywhere in my html settings, can you give me an idea of where it is? I have found other lines with "post" and others with "footer" in them, but never in the order you've given. Would it be different in some cases?

Thanks!
