How to add Automatic Article Rating Widget?
Adding an Article Rating Widget to a Blogger website does not require much knowledge about HTML, CSS, or JS. We've already written the code, so anyone can use it. To place in your Blogger Theme, simply follow the instructions.
Important!Before we begin adding XML codes, I strongly advise you to make a backup of your current theme. If an issue arises, you can always restore it later.
Step 1: First of all Login to your Blogger Dashboard.
Step 2: On Blogger Dashboard, click Theme.
Step 3: Click the arrow down icon next to 'customize' button.
Step 4: Click Edit HTML, you will be redirected to editing page.
Step 5: Next search the ]]></b:skin> code and paste the CSS code just above the ]]></b:skin> code.
If your template contains a dark mode function, and you want it to be a different colour when it's turned on, you can change the codes to suit your needs. Each template may have a different dark mode class, so please adjust accordingly. You can replace the marked class with the dark mode class from your template.

.pRate{display:none;padding:30px 0 10px 0}
.pRateC{display:flex;max-width:400px;margin-top:30px;padding:25px 17px;line-height:25px;background:#fff;border-radius:5px;box-shadow:0 5px 35px rgba(149,157,165,.3);font-size:16px;font-family:inherit;color:#08102b;text-align:center;justify-content:center}
.pRateC .ld{display:inline-flex;align-items:center;font-size:13px;opacity:.8}
.pRateC .ld svg{width:18px;height:18px;margin-right:5px;stroke:none !important;fill:#08102b}
.pRateS{background:#fff;position:absolute}
.drK .pRateC, .drK .pRateS{background:#252526}
.drK .pRateC{box-shadow:0 10px 40px rgba(0,0,0,.2);color:#fefefe}
.drK .pRateC .ld svg{fill:#fefefe}
Step 6: Paste the following HTML code just below the <data:post.body/>. Look for the code usually there is more than 1 code depending on blogger template. Please Try one by one.
<b:if cond='data:view.isPost'>
<!--[ Article Rating by The Web Trick ]-->
<div id='pRating' class='pRate'>
<div class='pRateC'>
<div class='ld'><svg viewBox='0 0 50 50' x='0px' y='0px'><path d='M25.251,6.461c-10.318,0-18.683,8.365-18.683,18.683h4.068c0-8.071,6.543-14.615,14.615-14.615V6.461z'><animateTransform attributeName='transform' attributeType='xml' dur='0.6s' from='0 25 25' repeatCount='indefinite' to='360 25 25' type='rotate'/></path></svg>Getting Info...</div>
<div id='wpac-rating' class='pRateS'></div>
</div>
</div>
</b:if>
Step 7: Paste the following JavaScript code just below the <body> tag. Look for the tag usually at the bottom of the template and paste the Javascript code below right before the <body>tag.
Don't worry about Lighthouse, Performance, or Loading Speed if you utilise Lazyload JavaScript. Nothing is going to be harmed.
<b:if cond='data:view.isPost'>
<script>/*<![CDATA[*/ /* Article Rating Script by The Web Trick (Lazyload) */ var lazyrs=!1;window.addEventListener('scroll',function(){(0!=document.documentElement.scrollTop&&!1===lazyrs||0!=document.body.scrollTop&&!1===lazyrs)&&(!function(){wpac_init=window.wpac_init||[],wpac_init.push({widget:'Rating',id:33936}),function(){var t,e;'WIDGETPACK_LOADED'in window||(WIDGETPACK_LOADED=!0,(t=document.createElement('script')).type='text/javascript',t.async=!0,t.src='https://cdn.widgetpack.com/widget.js',(e=document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]).parentNode.insertBefore(t,e.nextSibling))}();document.querySelector('#pRating').style.display='block';}(),lazyrs=!0)},!0); /*]]>*/</script>
</b:if>
Replace the marked Rating ID with your widget Rating ID or create a new one from here. If you don't want to deal with any issues, you can simply copy and paste our widget rating id code.
Step 8: Finally, Save your theme by clicking icon at the top right of HTML editor.
That's it! The Article Rating Widget will now be applied to all of your articles automatically. Your articles can now be rated by visitors.
