So are you looking for social media buttons which appear floating on the side of posts on your website or blogs. Its true there are lot of WordPress plugins for making it easy on WordPress sites. But what if you want to add these floating social media buttons on a custom website or a blogspot.com blog ?

As per my experience floating social media buttons helps to increase the rate of social share comparing to the fixed buttons. In this post i am sharing you a custom code which i found useful regarding the issue. I am successfully tested this code on blogspot blog and a custom website. Guess what ? I got success on displaying social media buttons on the sidebar which moves as users move down or up in a website.

Increasing on social share helps a website for getting more visitors which is good for every website owner. You guys can add below code any where on your website or on widget for a blogspot.com blog.

Update : This widget even works with WordPress Blogs, simply add it on sidebar from Widgets.

<!-- AddThis Button BEGIN -->
<div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_floating_style addthis_counter_style" style="left:50px;top:200px;">
<a class="addthis_button_facebook_like" fb:like:layout="box_count"></a>
<a class="addthis_button_google_plusone" g:plusone:size="tall"></a>
<a class="addthis_button_tweet" tw:count="vertical"></a>
<!-- Facebook share button Start -->
<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType != "static_page"'>
<div style='float:left;padding:5px 5px 5px 0;'>
<a expr:share_url='data:post.url' href='http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php' name='fb_share' type='box_count'>Share</a><script src='https://static.ak.fbcdn.net/connect.php/js/FB.Share' type='text/javascript'></script>
</div>
</b:if>
<!-- Facebook share button End -->
<!-- Place this tag where you want the su badge to render -->
<su:badge layout="5"></su:badge>
<!-- Place this snippet wherever appropriate -->
<script type="text/javascript">
 (function() {
 var li = document.createElement('script'); li.type = 'text/javascript'; li.async = true;
 li.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ? 'https:' : 'http:') + '//platform.stumbleupon.com/1/widgets.js';
 var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(li, s);
 })();
</script>
<a class="addthis_counter"></a>
</div>
<script type="text/javascript">var addthis_config = {"data_track_addressbar":false};</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="//s7.addthis.com/js/300/addthis_widget.js"></script>
