Add Share It buttone to your blog

Do you want to add floating social media (Facebook, Twitter, Google +1 (plus one), LinkedIn) share buttons widget on your Blogger or BlogSpot blog? And can't figure out how to do it?
No problem, now you're going to find out.

I understand why we all want to add social media to our site. Social media share buttons are everywhere. They are very popular because webmasters and bloggers get more traffic from Social Network sites through it. Share buttons like Facebook Share, Facebook Like, Facebook Recommend, Twitter Tweet, Google +1 button, StumbleUpon, Tumblr button, Digg This, and LinkedIn Share boost traffic back to your website. They make it easier for visitors and readers to share your content to their friends and connections.

"Floating share buttons" widget is very easy to install to your blog. All you need to do is edit two parts of your Blogger template (the main code and the page elements).

We have provided eight different colors for you to choose from. This gives you an option to install the "floating share button" widget that is related to the color of your Blogger template.


Here we have gathered four most popular share buttons today: Facebook Like, Twitter Tweet, Google +1 (plus one) button, and LinkedIn Share. They are all in vertical count (or tall) format and will show up on the left side of your blog.
