Add CSS Based Social Bookmarking Widget To Blogger Blogs & Websites

Kindly have a demo of this widget before reading the tutorial. Remember to Hover your mouse cursor over the icons.

This widget uses a total of 20 Icons but believe it or not it is super-fast and loads with in seconds. I merged all 20 Icons into one big image and used CSS Image stripes technique to make the icons appear at right positions. Fortunately this saves a lot of load time, because the browser will load all images at once and doesn’t need to contact the image server several times for uploading the images.

This is the big im
age I used,

Now lets add them below each post in blogger ,

1. Go To Blogger > Layout > Edit HTML
2. Search For ]]></b:skin>
3. And paste the code below just above ]]></b:skin>
