How To Add Social Media Bar Widget in Blogger?

Many of our readers were complaining that we always share long tail tutorials. Therefore, from now one we would try our finest to complete the Widget Installation in just one step. Consider the following instructions. 

Go To Blogger.com >> Template >> Edit HTML >> Proceed.

In the template search for </body> and just above it paste the following Coding. Don’t change the coding otherwise it would stop working. If anyone is unable to find the </body> tag, then he can paste the coding just below <body> tag. 


<!-- import Scripts -->
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://mybloggerlab.googlecode.com/files/jquery-1.7.1.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://mybloggerlab.googlecode.com/files/mblsocialbar.js"></script>
<div id="scolder">
<script type="text/javascript" src=" http://mbl-flipper-google-blogger.googlecode.com/files/socialflipmin.js"></script></div>

<!-- MBL Social Media Bar For Blogger -->
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
$.mblSocialBar({
items: {
twitter: { url: '#', text: 'Follow me on twitter' },
facebook: { url: '#', text: 'Profile on facebook' },
rss: { url: '#', text: 'RSS Feed' },
google: { url: '#', text: 'Profile on google+' },
youtube: { url: '#', text: 'Profile on youtube' },
orkut: { url: '#', text: 'Profile on orkut' },
myspace: { url: '#', text: 'Profile on myspace' },
digg: { url: '#', text: 'Profile on digg' },

},
show: 8,
position: "left",
skin: "clear"
});

});
</script>



  • Adding URL: Replace All # with your URLs According to the desire needs.
  • Change Positions: In order to change the position of the widget Replace “Left” to Either “right”, “top” or “bottom” from the coding according to your desire needs. Remember: Don't use Capital Letters otherwise it would stop working.
  • Display Less Social Site: In order to Display Less Social Sites just Replace “8” with less numbers i.e. 7, 6, 5 and it would show less buttons. However, it would start displaying an Arrow that would allow visitors to get access to the Hidden sites.  
  • Change Skins: We have added two Themes to this Social Media Bar i.e. “clear” and “dark”. To Change the current “clear” theme to dark just replace clear to Dark from the JavaScript coding. 
All Done: After customizing everything according to the desire needs, then save the template by pressing “Save Template” button. Go visit your site and we are sure it would not let your site’s look down. Don’t forget to leave your suggestions. 


From The Editor’s Desk:

Hope this Social Bar would help everyone in building their social audience. This bar might not work on such sites which are already using other Floating widgets i.e. Floating Older/Newer Posts and etc. What are your thoughts about the marvel widget? Take a lot care till then, Peace, blessings and happy floating.
