There are literally hundreds of social media sharing plugins that can display social share button for WordPress, blogger and many more are added each day. Today we have a great social subscription plugins with simple design, which we have created early, its a second version of our previous social subscription plugins with tooltip. In the updated version we have removed some CSS reset bugs and also make some addition in the plugin layout.
The plugin allow visitors to join social networks, such as Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Google Plus, Rss Feed, Linkedin, Tumbler and the lastly on YouTube.
Why Social Plugin Important: A Writer Chuck Price share an article on Search engine watch before 3 months ago and said social profiles are very important for boosting your search engine ranking. Read the statement below or you can read full article about ranking, traffic and backlinks.
“Think about where your target audience spends their time. Is it Facebook, Twitter, pinterest? You need to be there as well. Like blog and forum communities, getting to know people via social media opens up link opportunities.”
So now leave the discussion and go ahead to add social plugin to your blogger blog.

Now lets go and do one more step…
5. Now again look for the following code in your Template:
<b:includable id='postQuickEdit' var='post'>
Normally there are three instances of the tag present in your template ( post-footer, post-footer-line-1, post-footer-line-2 like this.
you just need to locate post-footer (from top) one.
6. Paste the following code immediately below (after) opening post-footer div:
<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == "item"'>
<div id='social_profiles-wrap'>
