How to add floating social media buttons in blogger



 1. Download your fovorite social media icon buttons.  There are lots of freebies out there, just google. The ones I used are from Icon Dock : Vector Social Media Icons.
2. Edit in your favorite photo editing program.
(Illustrator, Photoshop, PSE, etc.)
I opened the .png icons in PSE and used my hue/saturation adjustment levels to match the color of my blog.  I know there are other ways to do this, but this was how I did it.



3. Upload your files to photobucket or other image hosting site.

4. Copy the code below and edit in notepad, word, or other text editing program.

<div id='newnavbar'> <ul> <a href="WEBSITELINKGOESHERE"><img src="DIRECTIMAGELINKGOESHERE" width="50" height="50" alt="TAGLINE GOES HERE" /></a> </ul></div>


5. In the text editor, add your own text, links,  and desired image size in the correct location.
(See sample below)
Copy your new code (ctrl + c).
6. Log in to blogger. 
Click on "Layout". 
Click on "Add a gadget". 
Click on  "HTML/JavaScript"

In the content box paste (ctrl + v) your new code. Press save.

Take a deep breath, relax, and enjoy your new buttons!
