๐Ÿ“‹ How to Embed Google Forms in Blogger (and Other Platforms)

Google Forms is a fantastic free tool for surveys, feedback, and registrations. Embedding it directly into your site keeps visitors engaged and makes data collection seamless. Whether you’re running a WordPress blog, a custom HTML site, or a classic Blogger (Blogspot) blog, the process is straightforward.


๐ŸŒŸ Why Embed Google Forms?

  • Visitors don’t have to leave your site to fill out the form.
  • Responses are automatically stored in Google Sheets.
  • It looks more professional than just sharing a link.

๐Ÿ”ง Step 1: Create Your Google Form

  1. Go to Google Forms.
  2. Build your form with questions, dropdowns, or text fields.
  3. Customize the theme to match your site’s branding.

๐Ÿ”— Step 2: Get the Embed Code

  1. Click the Send button in the top‑right corner.
  2. Select the Embed HTML (< >) option.
  3. Adjust the width and height if needed.
  4. Copy the code.

๐Ÿ’ป Step 3: Add the Code to Your Website

๐Ÿ‘‰ Embedding in Blogger (Blogspot)

  1. Log in to Blogger and open your blog dashboard.
  2. Create a new post or edit an existing one.
  3. Switch the editor to HTML view (instead of Compose view).
  4. Paste the Google Form embed code where you want the form to appear.
  5. Switch back to Compose view to preview.
  6. Publish your post — the form will now be live.

๐Ÿ’ก Tip: To add the form in your sidebar or footer, go to Layout → Add a Gadget → HTML/JavaScript and paste the embed code there.

๐Ÿ‘‰ Embedding in WordPress

  • Add a Custom HTML block in the editor and paste the code.

๐Ÿ‘‰ Embedding in Wix or Squarespace

  • Use the Embed Code widget and paste the code.

๐Ÿ‘‰ Embedding in Custom HTML Sites

  • Paste the code directly into your page’s HTML file.

๐Ÿ“„ Example Embed Code

<iframe src="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/FORM_ID/viewform?embedded=true" 
        width="640" 
        height="800" 
        frameborder="0" 
        marginheight="0" 
        marginwidth="0">
Loading…
</iframe>

๐Ÿ‘‰ Replace FORM_ID with your actual form’s ID.


๐Ÿ“ฑ Making It Mobile‑Friendly

For Blogger and other platforms, set the width to 100% so the form adjusts automatically:

iframe {
  width: 100%;
  height: 800px;
}

⚠️ Things to Keep in Mind

  • Test your blog post before publishing to ensure the form loads correctly.
  • Adjust the height so the entire form is visible without too much scrolling.
  • Match the form’s colors with your blog theme for a consistent look.

๐Ÿ“š Example Use Case

Imagine you’re running a cooking blog and want to collect reader feedback on recipes. By embedding a Google Form directly into your post, readers can rate dishes or suggest new ones without leaving the page. Their responses flow into Google Sheets, giving you instant insights to improve your content strategy.
