Adding floating sharing buttons

Here’s a tutorial on how to add a Mashable-like floating bar of social media buttons to a Blogger blog (or a WordPress blog or just about any website). I made it into a widget, so you don’t have to go into your template HTML to install (or remove) them. Just drop the whole code into a HTML/Javascript gadget simple.



Adding the buttons

    Adding to Blogger
        Go to Design > Page Elements.
        Click Add A Gadget.
        In Add A Gadget window, select HTML/Javascript .
        Copy the code below and paste it inside the content box.
        Save the gadget.
        Drag the gadget and reposition it under Blog Posts gadget.
        Click Save button (top right hand corner).


    Adding to WordPress
        Go to Dashboard > Appearance > Widgets > Available Widgets.
        Drag Text widget into a sidebar.
        Paste in the code.
        Save.

So copy this now

<style type="text/css">
#pageshare {position:fixed; bottom:15%; margin-left:-71px; float:left; border-radius:5px;-moz-border-radius:5px;-webkit-border-radius:5px;background-color:#fff;padding:0 0 2px 0;z-index:10;}
