Add Sexy Social Bookmark Buttons Below Posts To Your Blogger Blog

by Simrandeep Singh on April 1, 2009

Few days back I found really sexy social bookmarking buttons to add to your blog. Look at the screenshot below and I’m sure you’ll really love these buttons.

Here is a quick tutorial to add these buttons to blogger blogs.

Note: Please don’t forget to backup your template and widgets before making any changes to your template.

Step 1: First sign in to your blogger blog and go to Dashboard -> Layout -> Edit HTML and check Expand Widget Templates.

Step 2: Now put the following code before </head>

<style type='text/css'>
div.sexy-bookmarks {
height:54px;
background:url('http://i43.tinypic.com/2ueii3t.png') no-repeat left bottom;
position:relative;
width:540px;
} 

div.sexy-bookmarks span.sexy-rightside {
width:17px;
height:54px;
background:url('http://i43.tinypic.com/2ueii3t.png') no-repeat right bottom;
position:absolute;
right:-17px;
}

div.sexy-bookmarks ul.socials {
margin:0 !important;
padding:0 !important;
position:absolute;
bottom:0;
left:10px;
}

div.sexy-bookmarks ul.socials li {
display:inline-block !important;
float:left !important;
list-style-type:none !important;
margin:0 !important;
height:29px !important;
width:48px !important;
cursor:pointer !important;
padding:0 !important;
}

div.sexy-bookmarks ul.socials a {
display:block !important;
width:48px !important;
height:29px !important;
font-size:0 !important;
color:transparent !important;

}

Hello!

Tried the tutorial on my site but this is what I keep getting:

Your template could not be parsed as it is not well-formed. Please make sure all XML elements are closed properly.
XML error message: Open quote is expected for attribute “{1}” associated with an element type “type”.

Please help.
