03

Copy the Image Hotspot Embed Code

04

Paste the code to your DropInBlog website’s HTML field.

Next, go to your DropInBlog blog editor and find the HTML field. It is most likely in the form of an HTML/Code widget or module which you can find on the DropInBlog’s editor. Add it to your page, and paste the Image Hotspot Embed Code you’ve copied before to the HTML field. Save and update, and that’s it, you should have Common Ninja’s Image Hotspot widget on your DropInBlog blog.

Alternative Method 2: Add it directly to your DropInBlog blog’s HTML code.

If you're having trouble finding a widget or a special part in your text editor where you can add the Embed Code, you can try a different way to add the Image Hotspot widget to your DropInBlog blog. You can do this by putting it straight into your DropInBlog blog's HTML code.

Why Use This Widget

Use the Image Hotspot widget when your content depends on visuals and you want people to understand details without reading long instructions. It lets you attach short, clear explanations directly to specific areas of a product photo, illustration, map, or diagram, so context never gets lost. Visitors can explore at their own pace, focusing only on what matters to them. This reduces confusion, cuts support questions, and turns a single image into a guided experience that feels structured and intentional. It is especially useful for feature tours, product breakdowns, galleries, and any page where you want to explain what users are seeing in a precise and interactive way.
