Add Floating Social Media Buttons to Blogger

Posted by M Qasim A Siddiqui

Social Media buttons play a great role to share your web content by the visitors quicklyon Facebook, Twitter, Google+  and many other platforms. If you have sharing widget you can increase your blog traffic also. There are several ways to add these buttons such below post title or at footer area, as I shared in my previous posts. Now, in this post we will discover how to add floating Social Media Buttons. Forget about the some share widgets based on J-query scripts, because they increase blog loading time and still some browsers like Internet Explorer does not support J-query scripts function properly. This social button set is based on CSS and does not increase blog's loading time. 


Follow some simple steps to add this quick share tool to communicate with your visitors/ audiences. 
1. Go to Blogger > >Template.
2. Backup your template.
3. Click Edit HTML.
4. Click Proceed.
5. Then Click Expand Widget Templates.
6. Search following line (Use Ctrl+F ).



<b:includable id='post' var='post'>


7. Just below it paste the following codes-

<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == &quot;item&quot;'><b:if cond='data:blog.pageType != &quot;static_page&quot;'><style>.mbt_social_floating{position:fixed; bottom:10%; margin-left:-60px; float:left;width:60px;background-color:#FFFFFF;padding: 5px 0 0px 0px;border-top:1px solid #ddd;border-left:1px solid #ddd;border-bottom:1px solid #ddd;z-index:9999px !important;border-radius:5px;-moz-border-radius:5px;-webkit-border-radius:5px;}.mbt_social_floating .mbt_side_social_button{margin-bottom:5px;float:none;height:auto;width:60px;}.mbt_social_floating .st_twitter_vcount, .mbt_social_floating.st_plusone_vcount, .st_email{margin-left:5px;}.mbt_social_floating .st_fblike_vcount{margin-left:5px;}.mbt_social_floating .stButton_gradient{background:none !important;height:21px !important;padding-left:0 !important;}.mbt_social_floating .chicklets, .mbt_social_floating .stMainServices {background:url(&#39;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjD6QnEKhKzxIOSCBVzAHyo5_ShCU8-u93AqX7-u42CLDj9zCi8pzgcMe2SC47RzV-6SOQU1PX6WmQX_zBJoFEnyHdAXh8mt_u9CMVx1YNnhqYwVUqu2ov82Rtmlo5G8PF43Ir18u8td08c/s400/gc_social_sprite.gif&#39;) no-repeat !important;height:19px !important;width:45px !important;padding:0 !important;}.st_email .chicklets{background-position:0 -77px !important;background-image:url(&#39;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjD6QnEKhKzxIOSCBVzAHyo5_ShCU8-u93AqX7-u42CLDj9zCi8pzgcMe2SC47RzV-6SOQU1PX6WmQX_zBJoFEnyHdAXh8mt_u9CMVx1YNnhqYwVUqu2ov82Rtmlo5G8PF43Ir18u8td08c/s400/gc_social_sprite.gif&#39;) !important;}.mbt_social_floating .st_twitter_vcount .st-twitter-counter{background-position:0 -58px !important;}.mbt_social_floating .stButton_gradient{border:none !important;}.mbt_social_floating .stBubble_count{width:44px !important;font-size: 15px !important;font-weight: normal !important;padding-top:7px !important;height:23px !important;background:none !important;}.mbt_social_floating .st_twitter_vcount .stBubble_count{color:#00a6df;background-color:#f8fbfc !important;}.st_fblike_vcount{  margin-bottom: 0px;display: block;}.st_twitter_vcount{margin-bottom: 3px;display: block;}.st_email{  margin-bottom: 5px; margin-top: 3px;display: block;}.mbt_social_floating .stBubble{background-position: 21px 31px !important;height:35px !important;}</style><div class='mbt_social_floating'>  <script type='text/javascript'>var switchTo5x=true;</script><script src='http://w.sharethis.com/button/buttons.js' type='text/javascript'/><script type='text/javascript'>stLight.options({onhover:false});</script><span class='st_fblike_vcount' displaytext=''/><span class='st_twitter_vcount' displaytext='' st_via='arvindjangid'/><div style='margin:5px 0 0px 0;'><center><a class='pin-it-button' count-layout='vertical' expr:href='&quot;http://pinterest.com/pin/create/button/?url=&quot; + data:post.url'>Pin It</a><a href='javascript:void(run_pinmarklet())' style='margin-left:-46px; width:43px; height:20px; display:inline-block;'/><script src='http://assets.pinterest.com/js/pinit.js' type='text/javascript'/><script type='text/javascript'>function run_pinmarklet() {var e=document.createElement(&#39;script&#39;);e.setAttribute(&#39;type&#39;,&#39;text/javascript&#39;);e.setAttribute(&#39;charset&#39;,&#39;UTF-8&#39;);e.setAttribute(&#39;src&#39;,&#39;http://assets.pinterest.com/js/pinmarklet.js?r=&#39; + Math.random()*99999999);document.body.appendChild(e);}</script> </center></div><div style='margin:0px 0 0 5px;'><span class='st_plusone_vcount' displaytext=''/></div><div class='addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style ' style='margin:5px 0px 5px 8px;'><a class='addthis_counter'/></div><script src='http://s7.addthis.com/js/250/addthis_widget.js' type='text/javascript'/><script type='text/javascript'>var addthis_config = {ui_cobrand: &quot;Mast Tips&quot;,ui_header_color: &quot;#ffffff&quot;,ui_header_background: &quot;#0080FF&quot;}</script></div> </b:if></b:if>
