"Touch Me" Sharing Widget for Blogger


The rapid advancement and development of Social Media and growing interest of people in social networking sites has given birth to dozens of social sharing tools and services. Web masters are getting addicted to these tools because unlike organic traffic from search engines, web traffic from social channels have overtaken search traffic. From your website quality content till your blog design, every single bit counts in turning a visitor into a follower. To help you with your dream of increasing fans and readers we bring you "Touch Me". Its named such due to its appealing look that forces a visitor to roll hover the cursor over the icons and hit follow! :) This gadget is neatly structured using buttons from popular services like Google Plus, Facebook, Twitter and RSS. We have coded it neatly using basic HTML and some spicy CSS styles.

I am sharing below the steps for BlogSpot users. If you are a wordpress or Joomla user or running a normal website then you just need to copy and paste the following code inside your templates.
Following are the steps for blogger users,

  2. Choose add a gadget
  3. Select HTML/JavaScript
  4. Paste the following code inside it,
