Add Floating Facebook Like and Retweet Counters To Your Websites

floating-sharing-widget
UPDATED:  Problem Solved now happily use the new working code :>
Since it is weekend so I thought lets  play with some CSS again. Facebook Like Button and retweet counter by tweetmeme are the two most widely used social media widgets without which you can’t call a blog a blog. Both these buttons along with Stumble Upon bookmarking button can let your readers circulate/share your tutorials and articles with their interested collegues and friends connected to them via these social networks. With a little HTML spiced with CSS we succeeded in creating a floating widget that will include these three buttons and will stay fixed at the middle lift side of your websites. The widget settings can surely be changed to align it to the right, bottom or left if you wish. You can also add more buttons to it if you wish like DIGG for instance.  See a demo first,

How To add Floating Facebook Like, Retweet and Stumble Upon Counter to Blogger?

  10. Hi Mohammad,

    How are you buddy, again thanks for the great tips.
    Instead of having floating share button, do you have a code for having the share buttons under the title post or below the post? Kind of like how you have it.

    Thanks.

  11. Thank you for sharing the code with everyone. I could not get the facebook button to work correctly so I went here:
    http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like/

    Generated my own code and pasted it between the iframe tags. I hope this tip may help others as well.

    The icons are visible only on all resolutions and work best with resolutions bigger than 800 by 600. Please check it first on your test blog.
