Add Simple Social Sharing Below Your Blogger Posts

Social_sharing_for_bloggerSocial media buttons is a great way to boosting your blog traffic. The shares of your blog content made through these social buttons circulate over different social networks will help your blog engaged with long term traffic. Twitter, Facebook and Pinterest all offer JavaScript that they'd LOVE for you to add to your site. Tracking is one of the reasons that they'd love you to add these. That may or may not be a strong reason not to add their JavaScript, but a concrete reason not to is speed. When you add three services' JavaScript you're adding three DNS lookups, three (or 20) HTTP requests for their JavaScript and images, and on and on. That JavaScript has to execute as well, of course, but the value it provides isn't justified over the speed and hassle involved in our opinion. We add just one third party (addtoany) script in this widget. I wanted to add social sharing links without adding JavaScript. Fortunately all these services support sharing via simply visiting a URL. Stated differently, you can share via an HTTP GET. This widget uses a total of 9 Icons but believe it or not it is super-fast and loads with in seconds.


Now lets add them below each post in blogger

</center>

5. See Preview before saving.

Note:- The buttons will only appear on post pages. We place this limit  because the
Pin-it button only pins the page on which it appears. As such  on homepage (if we were to allow it there), every instance of the button will pin the homepage, not the post (as it’s “supposed” to).

Troubleshooting

While finding the <data:post.body/> code is coming three time.This Problem comes when we install Auto Read More Hack in our Blogs. For this Problem Search for any one line from below and Put Above Section of Widget HTML Code after it!

This
<div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-1'>

Or this

<div class='post-footer'>

Or this

<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == &quot;item&quot;'>
<data:post.body/>

  12. Social media is a unique format as it helps you promote your content directly to your audience, and in turn it generates traffic via people sharing your content with others, and through SEO.
