Blogger e-How: Post Title

This is the same widget that I am using on this blog. Check the social network buttons appearing below this post title and see how they are arranged.

I have arranged them in order of load time so that they may appear as quickly as possible when the page is viewed. I have added twitter, Facebook like, stumbleupon and Google+ button i.e +1 button. Other sharing options are included in the AddThis Share button.

Adding Social Networking Buttons To Blogger

1. Go To Blogger > Design > Edit HTML
2. Backup your template
3. Search for <data:post.body/>
4. and just above it paste the code given below,

<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == "item"'>
<table border='0'>
<tr> <td> <a class='twitter-share-button' data-count='horizontal' data-lang='en' data-via='iluvroy' expr:data-text='data:post.title' expr:data-url='data:post.url' href='http://twitter.com/share' rel='nofollow'/> <b:if cond='data:post.isFirstPost'> <script src='http://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js' type='text/javascript'> </script> </b:if> </td>
<td> <iframe allowTransparency='true' expr:src='"http://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=" + data:post.url + "&layout=button_count&show_faces=false&width=100& action=like&font=arial&colorscheme=light"' frameborder='0' scrolling='no' style='border:none; overflow:hidden; margin-left:20px; width:100px; height:20px;'/> </td>
<td><div style='margin-right:25px;'> <script expr:src='"http://www.stumbleupon.com/hostedbadge.php?s=1&r=" + data:post.url'/></div> </td>
<td><div style='margin-right:5px;'> <g:plusone expr:href='data:post.url' size='medium'/> </div> </td>
<td>  <div class='addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style '> <a class='addthis_counter addthis_pill_style'/> </div> <script src='http://s7.addthis.com/js/250/addthis_widget.js' type='text/javascript'/>
<script type='text/javascript'> var addthis_config = { ui_cobrand: "MY BLOGGER TRICKS", ui_header_color: "#ffffff", ui_header_background: "#0080FF" } </script> </td>
</tr> </table>
</b:if><br/>

Replace iluvroy your twitter username.

5. Note: If you have previously added the +1 button then you may skip this step. Now search for </head> and just above it paste the following code,

<script src='http://apis.google.com/js/plusone.js' type='text/javascript'> {lang: 'en-US'} </script>

6. Save your template and visit your blog to see it appearing on post pages. The widget will not be visible on homepage but on post pages only. If you want to show it on homepage too then delete the highlighted yellow lines.

Have fun! :>
