Though I’ve explained how to add the sharing bar when I published how to add Facebook Share & Like buttons, Digg and Tweet Button to the side of blogger/blogspot blogs , I’ve recoded a better one which I decided to share with you. I have replaced “Facebook Like button” with the new Facebook Share button and removed Digg and SU buttons.
More so, since displaying too many social media counters could affect the speed at which your blog loads, I’ve added a AddThis share button which provide your visitors with over 300+ social sharing options all in one place.

So, How Do I add the Floating Share bar to my Blogger/blogspot blog?
Adding the Vertical Floating Bar to a Blogger blog is very easy.
All you have to do is to ensure you’ve added the Facebook JavaScript SDK to your blog. Thereafter, you will be required to copy a snippet of code,and drop it into a HTML/JavaScript gadget.
If you’ve not added the Facebook JavaScript SDK to your blogger blog, read how to add it here .
Once you confirmed that the Facebook JavaScript SDK has been added to your blog’s html, proceed with the steps below:
- Log in to your Blogger account.
- Go to Layout
- Click “ Add A Gadget “
- In Add A Gadget window, select HTML/Javascript
- Copy the code highlighted below and paste it inside the HTML/Javascript box
