Blogger post gets more traffic through sharing than even organic ones. The social media share widget makes it easy to share a post with the click of one button. It makes it better for users who visit your blogger blog to share your post with their friends. Today I have made for you the best-ever social media buttons widget that you can use before or below a post. The widget has a stylish, responsive, and premium look to transform your blogger blog for good.
We will take time to add several codes to the CSS and HTML part of our template code to make sure that the social media sharing buttons display correctly in the correct place. Without wasting more time on the explanation, let’s see what the widget looks like and how to add it to Blogger. That shows it looks like below my blog post when I added the widget to my Blogspot blogger blog. Let’s see ways of adding the widget to Blogger.
