]]> This is not the first set of floating share buttons I'll be sharing on this blog but I realized there's a need to update this cove and maybe change the styling a bit to make it look somehow similar to Digg Digg which I presently use. The need for a horizontal set of floating share buttons on your sidebar cannot be over emphasized since it plays a major role in making sure your contents gets shared on major social networks. Digg is as good as dead and I've decided not to include it in this new set. Buttons included are: Facebook like, Facebook, share, Tweeter, Pinterest, Stumbleupon and Google +1. However, the "pin it" button won't appear on the homepage, just post pages. The Facebook share ...Read more

]]> If you checked this site on mobile, you should see a set of share buttons appear above and below posts. Also, if you're using a PC, you should've noticed the same share buttons appearing just below posts only. Lots of co-bloggers often ask me which exact WordPress plugin I use but as a matter of fact, I'm not using a plugin for those buttons, I added them manually. Either you're on Blogger platform or WordPress, you can add these kind of cool, stylish share buttons to your blog too. This is what the buttons should look like when added: I actually got the code from sharethis.com but you may not like the way it appears on your blog if you're using their WordPress plugin or if you did the ...Read more

]]> Facebook officially deprecated the share button in favor of the like button earlier this year. A few days ago, I realized that the share button no longer displays on sites I manage. Trying to figure out what could be wrong, I checked those sites using a different browser and it was the same. Still in doubt, I used a different PC and even checked other websites just to be sure. Across the web, a certain version of Facebook share button stopped working. The Share Button has been deprecated already a while ago but not yet completely dead. If it stops working on your website or blog, you only need to update your code. Facebook deprecated the Share button on February 28, which means they no ...Read more

]]> There were so many requests on this post asking me to update the floating share buttons with Pinterest Pin it button. But I wasn't on Pinterest then and never gave gave it much consideration...I said to myself it's just a new, obscure social network that's going to fade away in no time. I was wrong! Pinterest has grown to be the third largest social network in the world after Facebook and Twitter and that got me thinking where the heck is Google +! Pinterest can be a real source of traffic if well used and this is a proven fact. Ignoring the potential of Pinterest in driving traffic to your site and exposing your content to a wider audience isn't such a wise idea. This new floating share ...Read more

]]> Apart from working on traffic and search engine optimization (SEO), there's a need to intergrate your blog with popular social networking platforms. A floating share buttons (social bookmarking) widget by the right of every page is just one of the gadgets you must add to your blog if you intend to get free traffic from facebook and twitter. I wrote a post last week that went viral thanks to the power of facebook sharing. The post received close to 500 facebook likes in just a week! Underestimating the power of share buttons is like neglecting a major source of traffic to your blog. I've already written several posts on integrating your blogger hosted site with facebook, google plus and the ...Read more
