Some users requested in comments to share a tutorial for blogger/blogspot user too. So here is a tutorial for all those who are on blogger platform.

Add Google Buzz Button To Blogger Blog
Here is a step by step guide to add Google Buzz button to blogger/blogspot blogs :
- Sign in to your blogger blog and go to
Dashboard -> Layout -> Edit HTML
- Find the following code
<div class='post-header-line-1'>
and paste the following code below it according to button size.
For large size button :
<a href='javascript:var%20b=document.body;var%20GR________bookmarklet_domain="http://www.google.com";if(b&&!document.xmlVersion){void(z=document.createElement("script"));void(z.src="http://www.google.com/reader/ui/link-bookmarklet.js");void(b.appendChild(z));}else{}'><img alt='Buzz this' src='http://img2.pict.com/15/da/3e/2809374/0/googlebuzz.png'/></a>
For compact size button:
<a href='javascript:var%20b=document.body;var%20GR________bookmarklet_domain="http://www.google.com";if(b&&!document.xmlVersion){void(z=document.createElement("script"));void(z.src="http://www.google.com/reader/ui/link-bookmarklet.js");void(b.appendChild(z));}else{}'><img alt='Buzz this' src='http://img2.pict.com/9c/09/57/2854010/0/buzzthis.gif'/></a>
- Save the template.

Hi Im at present using Retweet and Digg on my single.php page, However Im reluctant to add Buzz, thinking the traffic it gives is very less when compared to the others, Do you suggest me to have a Buzz button, Are they really traffic driving sources?
Thanks

Well frankly speaking I didn’t try the Google Buzz button on my blog. I don’t think that it can send traffic as twitter or digg.

I’m glad that you like my post Deepak 🙂
useful tutorial , but after google announced page speed , i have removed any api function call that increases site loading time
.-= William´s last blog ..The Art of Public Speaking =-.
You are right William.. Removing these type of button help your site to load faster but your should have at-least 2-3 buttons for social bookmarking on your posts.
no such code as in my blog on expand or non expand just through you would like to know on some bloggs might need to find another place to put it.
Thanks For Sharing man . Great Info,
Adding Compact Google Buzz Button to Blogger Template not only improves Social Presence of the Blog but also brings more traffic towards a blog
All of your templates are awesome. If you know how to make widgets for blogger, please try to make an seo plugin. Can’t add meta description for each post!
Blogger lacks this feature. That’s why we prefer self hosted WordPress blogs over Blogger blogs. Anyways if I get the best solution to add meta tags and descriptions to individual blog posts then I will write a tutorial on it.
I know how to do that! It’s just a tiresome job!
Nice tutorial about How to add Google Buzz Button in Blogger. Thanx Simran
