Step 1: Adding Font Awesome To Blogger

This is an optional step if you have already installed font awesome in your blogger blog. If not, go to Template > Edit HTML > Search for </head> and paste the following code above it.
Note: Backup your template before proceeding.

<script type='text/javascript'>
//<![CDATA[
function loadCSS(e, t, n) { "use strict"; var i = window.document.createElement("link"); var o = t || window.document.getElementsByTagName("script")[0]; i.rel = "stylesheet"; i.href = e; i.media = "only x"; o.parentNode.insertBefore(i, o); setTimeout(function () { i.media = n || "all" }) }
loadCSS("https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/font-awesome/5.8.2/css/all.min.css");
//]]>
</script>
<noscript>
<link href='https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/font-awesome/5.8.2/css/all.min.css' rel='stylesheet'/>
</noscript>

Step 2: Adding CSS Code Of Demo And Download Buttons

Step 3: Adding HTML portion to blogger posts

Paste following HTML code to the posts where you want to display download and demo buttons.

<div id="wrap" style="text-align:center">
<a class="bie-slide" href="#" rel="no-follow" target="_blank">
  <span class="circle"><i class="fa fa-laptop"></i></span>
  <span class="title">Demo</span>
  <span class="title-hover">Click here</span>
</a>
<a class="bie-slide2" href="#" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">
  <span class="circle2"><i class="fa fa-download"></i></span>
  <span class="title2">Download</span>
  <span class="title-hover2">Click here</span>
</a>
</div>

Or, you can use them separately.

For Demo Button:

<div id="wrap" style="text-align:center">
<a class="bie-slide" href="#" rel="no-follow" target="_blank">
  <span class="circle"><i class="fa fa-laptop"></i></span>
  <span class="title">Demo</span>
  <span class="title-hover">Click here</span>
</a>
</div>

For Download Button:

<div id="wrap" style="text-align:center">
<a class="bie-slide2" href="#" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">
  <span class="circle2"><i class="fa fa-download"></i></span>
  <span class="title2">Download</span>
  <span class="title-hover2">Click here</span>
</a>
</div>

You can easily change the icons by changing <i class="fa fa-laptop"></i> and <i class="fa fa-download"></i> . Browse more font awesome icons from here.
