Add CSS Based Social Bookmarking Widget To Blogger Blogs & Websites

Never thought this EID would turn the best designing period of my life. After a lot of trial and error I managed to create a social bookmarking Icons widget using advanced CSS technique. I had consulted a lot of my friends on how to give an hover effect to social bookmarking icons below blogger posts using simple CSS but all methods that were suggested unfortunately did not help. I worked hard using the MBT HTML Editor to find out a way and luckily returned with a successful and unique CSS code that made my EID day an ever forgettable one!

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

Social Bookmarking Widget For Blogger

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 image 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>
