Share Blogger Post Automatically to Facebook using IFTTT

Automatically posting a blog post to Facebook used to be a challenge. The idea was simple, which is to notify Facebook that you have a blog you want posted on your wall, and the social media will do as you command. The implementation, however, was more complicated than that.<br /><br />Even with Facebook's post-by-email feature, only the blog name and title will appear on the wall, leaving behind the content or link. There are other plugins available, but they don't work as straightforward as they're supposed to be. There is always something missing.<br /><br /><h3>How to Share Blogger post automatically to Facebook using IFTTT</h3>Here is an online utility IFTTT (If This, Then That), which is capable of moving social postings between sites. Setting it up is fairly easy, and just as easy to use. So, let's see how we can share Blogger posts automatically to Facebook using IFTTT.<br /><br /><h4>Step 1. Sign up for a free IFTTT account</h4>Visit <a href="http://ifttt.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">IFTTT.com</a> and set up an account by creating a username and password.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img alt="sign up IFTTT to connect Blogger with Facebook" border="0" height="315" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiC28FQqCjSERFhpjNsVB4pSR0D0wOjJKxFhFQ5bDLe3DcM2R3SgEnTzSaKMfvgtOQsYsgPY67_xsbawL1-kreGyF0wYiLY-oA89zNfpABwzXtetPvqjFSVOicOuqcGDykUP6CFG7UhAETG/s640/sign-up-ifttt-automatically-post.png" title="" width="640" /></div><br />Now, IFTTT will take you through a mini-tutorial - click on the word 'this', 'that' and 'Continue' button several times. Finally, select 3 channels that interest you and click 'Continue' to finish with the registration.<br /><br /><h4>Step 2. Create a new recipe</h4>Once registered, we need to 'Create a Recipe'. A recipe is basically the process of combining two platforms together - in our case, we will combine Blogger with Facebook. This shouldn't take more than five minutes.<br /><br />To get started, click the 'My Recipes' link and then click the 'Create a Recipe' button, as shown below:<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img alt="create IFTTT Blooger to Facebook recipe" border="0" height="260" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghEPoik2P2ccn7z0H3ea3bV9XDT7bYDowLDOE4P6LjyOz4w3HlO-GCTXV1cpHAIAbPWKEeTMIF4KRt1-MA7ubbdwUUCPX9Tizwgod5c1_qNTxYCXgJyXAdWY-fg5-HAMQBSftsUD_xNS9b/s640/create-recipe-blogger-facebook-ifttt.png" title="" width="640" /></div><br />Start creating the recipe by clicking the blue 'this' word and select a "trigger channel". The trigger you need to choose is Blogger - search for it in the box, as illustrated below:<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img alt="create Blogger recipe using IFTTT" border="0" height="456" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLOmRMAahBnsQHndyP1n9tub5wElgs9-IaSBcd5lYJZb65junwNKU-0nl4PlL5qfUobpDfmZr3cdxk47Feu1-MiTMzk3WNms6639cnm0aEiDZe5jeY4pBKHG7lG3PvovnzrBnrEz0Pves0/s640/ifttt-trigger-channel-blogger.png" title="" width="640" /></div><br /><br /><h4>Step 3. Connect Blogger blog with IFTTT</h4>Connect your Blogger account in order to tie it with your IFTTT account. A 'Request for Permission' pop-up will appear > click the 'Allow' button and choose which blog you want to use with IFTTT from the drop-down menu, then click the 'Update' button.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img alt="add Blogger blog to IFTTT for automatic posting" border="0" height="321" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJka_HuYzYjXncxtemCXRF0TrWDTYGnM1CZypF2QWnJcmGYKF74i1kejTniePOiHyDfoFTihDe6Mdmj5uK2Itu2N15C_cRXmImzWI5VFP1LQpmIMx_UjxiRBuvSnYdR4Q5CtaQpCk9X8fm/s400/use-blogger-blog-with-ifttt-automatic-posting.png" title="" width="400" /></div><br />After our Blogger blog has been connected, 'Choose a Trigger' that allows you to specify what kind of posts will be published to Facebook. You can choose 'Any new post' or 'New posts labeled'. <br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img alt="automatically publish new Blogger post using IFTTT" border="0" height="188" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKmxiS1TXwVMkP7obut8hCu_P41LI7WgDV9CvM54p0wHKiP-vijFo1sBVzgbpOVzoTwQLKBi2NOFVzislnzYgs31l4MdB6IDQ2XKV6QkcmqEric_W4ZUm55rbRgZQAT0XQ6cH4ONFXjcD_/s640/share-new-blogger-post-labeled-ifttt.png" title="" width="640" /></div><br />Finally, press the blue 'Create Trigger' button to proceed to the next step.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img alt="connect Facebook to Blogger to post automatically" border="0" height="176" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVCu5dg4D3jAjmRVKrrUIb5eCxQ6gHH2UU0l3roVgUwC9WDGDreesOR83MaSBLTxT2UdxYMfi4wOXB8vDATtSaSZh3zkjAnKAHpcJ0jAaoSBlIV1kgf1CfKlrzAMjx_pbsWEUWYNT3yIgT/s640/create-trigger-ifttt-post-blogger-facebook.png" title="" width="640" /></div><br /><h4>Step 4. Creating the 'That' trigger</h4>After registration, Create a Recipe that will specify the direction with which your blog posting will take. Since you want to link Blogger to Facebook, then the Recipe will be - if Blogger, then Facebook. What you're doing is replacing 'this' to Blogger, which is the source, and 'that' to Facebook, which is the target destination.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img alt="if Blogger then Facebook IFTTT" border="0" height="174" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOAJfunrfpyGGcjZ-LFzUX3Z6JS3gKFBEBxmYi3mRCgfdy3zHUimCN7XkvNTht0Gy0wuo_O3UwUXDg0e2gizblglvccE6UQoOF1ME0z4JgbO6fvfcwrhgtdI9YcWI6YY-Vcs_2HdFUUB-X/s640/new-blogger-post-to-facebook.png" title="" width="640" /></div><br />To set up 'that', click on the blue-colored 'that'. This will bring up a window that contains a list of social media sites. Search for 'Facebook' in the box and select the 'Facebook Pages' option (select the plain 'Facebook' option if you want to post to your personal profile).<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img alt="choose action channel IFTTT facebook" border="0" height="458" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXxhYD9D9gYf3ZF94uOB5DFe8iUTIC6vAyxTtaO-f-MlET6fWKXpRNw3616rhIz999ipCDPuhaU_34P5aFU7JDrzfNRb7X4eei3UNc3Wv0Ddk7HKVrBRAp6HwqVpCFZUv50Gzh4vrdv-hM/s640/ifttt-action-channel-facebook-blogger.png" title="" width="640" /></div><br /><h4>Step 5. Connect Facebook page with IFTTT</h4>Connect your Facebook account. Make sure you are logged into your Facebook account, before you connect. Pressing the 'Connect' button will open a pop-up window to allow IFTTT post on your Facebook page, then select your Facebook page.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img alt="connect facebook pages channel on IFTTT" border="0" height="212" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTDUjZPIw95fCiBGIzIgTZW6wlxhoH_0J4Y9LW2zLIc9BpU7vwS4HEq_ZH-SM_Uv8jNdgLBWQyacMyuU7enClYLfr9lUrLTwYL1m44WLWvst7auu_G_3tgbfwCQPw12VJYkeef0g9QPcBa/s640/connect-facebook-to-blogger-using-ifttt.png" title="" width="640" /></div><br />Hit the 'Done' and 'Continue to the next step' buttons and we're almost done...<br /><br />You will be prompted to 'Choose an Action', where you get to specify if you only want to 'Create a status message', 'Create a link post', or 'Update a photo from URL'. Choose 'Create a link post' as shown below:<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img alt="post Blogger automatically to facebook" border="0" height="196" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxZHS20rBYv5xfH-JVoHrXMPfEz7niBfvsopWj-RoruM1w5JQ8SEgvm3iyIqkbMWeZ9yE6uiiOb6BWJNHBYAdu8sl2iXTSStSOVqWy3rGIFBp_AS-nwdCymqQdnqKiYmb7vWDwFg_4oDCa/s640/post-blogger-to-facebook-wall-automatically.png" title="" width="640" /></div><br /><h4>Step 6. Choosing the ingredients</h4>Once you choose an action, a 'Complete Action Fields' window will appear with 'Link URL' and 'Message' box. To add an ingredient, click on the 'Message' field and you'll see a test tube icon on the right hand side. If you click it, a drop-down menu will appear which will let you choose a field to include - select 'PostTitle' and click 'Add Ingredient' blue button on the right side.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img alt="IFTTT Blogger recipe ingredients for Facebook" border="0" height="352" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFfvdnzFVfptlpIyAjhbut807bk8OvxkdLgtwx3K9D_bXn0zGXkKOhogrz3_dceUGlfqN_nlC93qdwZNTM7o9n5WkBnUXT4ioJsyUmfoyy2PtF9l9de7lP3dht0QMHLcO4vy5s6ywAlcb3/s640/create-link-post-ifttt-facebook.png" title="" width="640" /></div><br />If you are unsure of what each ingredient does, please visit <a href="https://ifttt.com/channels/blogger/triggers/133-any-new-post" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">this page</a>.<br /><br /><h4>Step 7. Finish creating the recipe</h4>Finally, click the blue 'Create Action' button and your recipe should look something like this:<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img alt="share blogger post automatically to facebook" border="0" height="318" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivFPt-4XkkulLhQuyoeRpQ2IZvxkwiQAHNeg9I44jlcJ1vSu9lfCcCic535dd9FnrF3Yq6OpXtEgNfhyphenhyphenfGX9716yLCXj8Xs6zk6gbFpwuWGdZOVf-s7X7FOmqkicYz3jhl3ohyQhI9tQ3U/s640/automatically-share-blogger-posts-to-facebook.png" title="" width="640" /></div><br />To complete your recipe, hit the 'Create Recipe' button.<br /><br />And that's it!

Add floating social media sharing buttons below Blogger post titles

It is becoming increasingly important to make our posts appreciated and shared on social networks and one of the best ways to get traffic to our blog or site and boost sharing stats is to add <b>social sharing buttons</b>.<br /><br />In this tutorial we will see <b>how to add a floating social media sharing bar</b> below the title of Blogger posts, so when a reader scrolls down the page, he will still be able to see the sharing buttons without having to scroll back to the top.<br /><div class="ssmainhide" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="182" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimsOqPvt2yaHS-5bQB7VrohvGQpt8Bce8M3R3VPr4m2q6j4kFowu-4uIEFPVr3fjfMZr_OVGJIwJLtC9KFrGhEjnyMdpl0npOXf-MhgMp9JoeFGOPW989ZPR8r37z15dg79vTuzR6zJ83g/s1600/floating-social-media-sharing-bar-for-blogger.png" width="320" /></div><br />Adding the below jQuery script will make the buttons float in a fixed position as soon as they reach "the top" of the page. By scrolling back, the buttons will return to their initial position.<br /><br />The <b>social sharing bar</b> includes buttons for <b>Facebook</b>, <b>Twitter</b>, <b>Google+</b>, and <b>Pinterest</b>.<br /><br /><h3>Social Media Sharing Buttons below Blogger Post Title</h3>Step 1. From the <a href="http://blogger.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Blogger Dashboard</a>, go to "Template" and click on the "Edit HTML" button:<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="256" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJUOkMHz3vLO0LGj2-EMUDmrqHKYrgqJ9RloAwpiNRj7piFUZ20T73GpIruWthjD-TxF75_8D2Nyqdt3Cl3JhCNEW_tSk4aEk_ASWRQ7IMm21LnSTTnux2VBpsk84FnZQlNGHCWdVrwpog/s1600/blogger_blogspot_template_edit_html_tutorial.png" width="320" /></div><br />Step 2. Click anywhere inside the code area and press the CTRL + F keys to open the search box. Once you see the search box, type the <span style="background-color: yellow;"></head></span> tag inside the search box and hit Enter to find it.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img alt="blogger search box, ctrl + f" border="0" height="265" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivTB9B6haG3lHQgVxNVR0Ovj6pQT0aRvxVcIgpwZZiTGvzIzcJmsMUP-eV0rswDQk8CPy_5GlQluN6Z6zm-h2-mS3-BC2QXUXs2ZPfY2b9Nws0gK7bZY6f5Npdhntl33tc0ZYtg9oWcFS8/s1600/open-blogger-search-box-ctrl%252Bf.png" title="Add floating social media sharing buttons below Blogger post titles" width="600" /></div><br />Step 3. Just above </head> add this script:<br /><blockquote class="tr_bq"><script src='http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.1/jquery.min.js' type='text/javascript'/><br /><br /><script type='text/javascript'><br />//<![CDATA[<br />$(function() {<br />var $movesbuttons = $("#floating-social-buttons"),<br />$window = $(window),<br />offset = $movesbuttons.offset();<br />$window.scroll(function() {<br />if ($window.scrollTop() > offset.top) {<br />$movesbuttons.css({'position' : 'fixed', 'width' : '<span style="color: #cc0000;"><b>550px</b></span>', 'top' : '0px'});<br />} else {<br />$movesbuttons.css({'position' : 'absolute', 'top' : 'auto'});<br />}<br />});<br />});<br />//]]><br /></script></blockquote>Step 4. Now before the <span style="background-color: yellow;">]]></b:skin></span> tag (press CTRL + F to find it) add the following CSS styles:<br /><blockquote class="tr_bq">#floating-social-buttons {<br />padding: 6px 0px 12px;<br />position: absolute;<br />background: #F6F6F6;<br />border-bottom: 1px solid #DEDEDE;<br />width: <span style="color: #cc0000;"><b>550px</b></span>;<br />height: 18px;<br />z-index: 99;<br />}<br />.floating-social-buttons {<br />margin-left: 5px !important; <br />}<br />.floating-social-buttons li {<br />float: left;<br />margin-left: 5px;<br />list-style:none;<br />}</blockquote>To change the width of the bar, modify the <span style="color: #cc0000;">550px</span> values in red. Note that this value also appears in the script which also needs to be modified. <br /><br />Step 5. Finally, just below the second <span style="background-color: yellow;"><div class='post-header'></span> (press CTRL + F and hit Enter twice to find the second one) add the following code:<br /><blockquote class="tr_bq"><b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == &quot;item&quot;'><br /><div style='padding:5px 0 <span style="color: blue;"><b>35px</b></span> 0;clear:both;'><br /><div id='floating-social-buttons'><br /><ul class='floating-social-buttons'><br /><br /><li><iframe allowTransparency='true' expr:src='&quot;http://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=&quot; + data:post.url+ &quot;&amp;layout=button_count&amp;show_faces=false&amp;width=100&amp;height=25&amp;action=like&amp;font=tahoma&amp;colorscheme=light&quot;' frameborder='0' scrolling='no' style='border:none; overflow:hidden; width:100px; height:25px;'/></li><br /><br /><li><a class='twitter-share-button' data-lang='en' href='https://twitter.com/share'>Tweet</a><script src='//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js' type='text/javascript'/></li><br /><br /><li><script src='http://apis.google.com/js/plusone.js' type='text/javascript'/><g:plusone expr:href='data:post.url' size='medium'/></li><br /><br /><li><a class='pin-it-button' count-layout='horizontal' expr:href='&quot;http://pinterest.com/pin/create/button/?url=&quot; + data:post.url + &quot;&amp;media=&quot; + data:post.thumbnailUrl + &quot;&amp;description=&quot; + data:post.snippet' style='margin:0 10px 5px 0;'>Pin It</a> <script src='http://assets.pinterest.com/js/pinit.js' type='text/javascript'/></li><br /><br /></ul><br /></div><br /></div><br /></b:if></blockquote><h3>Customizing the Floating Social Media Sharing buttons</h3>If you want the buttons to appear at the end of the post, paste this code before or after <span style="background-color: yellow;"><div class='post-footer'></span><br />If the bar overlaps with the post content, then change <span style="color: blue;">35px</span> to a higher value.<br /><br />Step 6. Click on the "Save template" button and you're done!<br /><br />So these were the steps for <b>adding the horizontal social buttons bar on Blogger</b>.

Add A CSS Animated Share Button on Blogger

I saw this on <a href="http://www.paulund.co.uk/animated-css-share-button" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Paulund</a>, a highly recommended site with a good collection of snippets, i.e. a collection of different codes that develop small utilities, all of these being applicable to web design.<br /><div class="ssmainhide" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiM5aZKS7Wl1iD_7_0RZ3khFIE83poUJ2xrXHguSo10bAfwLG-wwkmKzmgLMJU24QxiTMVtRx2KwCOht6H8Llfr3fxPhgrSYQFp6cc28CTGXyqdYleeOHrmjtQAe7O-4_AJFsDtV7VGBHA/s1600/css-animated-share-button-with-social-media-icons-for-blogger.png" /></div><br />In this tutorial, we will see how we can add a similar share button on Blogger with a really cool hover effect and 4 social media icons with links to share the current page on Facebook, Twitter, Google+ and Pinterest. However, we can replace these social networks later with any other just by changing the links below.<br /><br /><div style="text-align:center;">Demo:</div><br /><style>.share_button { width: 300px; height: 50px; margin: 10px auto; } .share_button ul { width: 50%; height: inherit; float: left; list-style: none; margin: 0 !important; padding: 0 !important; } .share_button ul h1 { margin-top: 9%; overflow: hidden; width: 100%; color: #4889F0; font-size: 18px; text-shadow:2px 2px 2px #fff; } .share_button ul li { position: absolute; height: inherit; list-style:none; width: 150px; margin: 0 !important; padding: 0 !important; background: #EEEEEE; -webkit-transition: all 600ms; -moz-transition: all 600ms; -o-transition: all 600ms; -ms-transition: all 600ms; transition: all 600ms; text-align: center; } .share_button ul li h2 { display: inline-block; width: 32%; height: 40px; overflow: hidden; margin-top: 5%; cursor: pointer; border: 0 !important; } .share_button ul:first-child li:first-child{ text-align: right; } .share_button ul:last-child li:first-child{ text-align: left; } .share_button ul:first-child li:last-child, .share_button:hover ul:first-child li:first-child { -webkit-transform: rotateY(90deg); -moz-transform: rotateY(90deg); -o-transform: rotateY(90deg); -ms-transform: rotateY(90deg); transform: rotateY(90deg); } .share_button ul:last-child li:last-child, .share_button:hover ul:last-child li:first-child { -webkit-transform: rotateY(-90deg); -moz-transform: rotateY(-90deg); -o-transform: rotateY(-90deg); -ms-transform: rotateY(-90deg); transform: rotateY(-90deg); } .share_button:hover ul:first-child li:last-child, .share_button:hover ul:last-child li:last-child { -webkit-transform: rotateY(0deg); -moz-transform: rotateY(0deg); -o-transform: rotateY(0deg); -ms-transform: rotateY(0deg); transform: rotateY(0deg); } </style> <div class='share_button'> <ul> <li><h1> Share t </h1></li> <li><h2> <a expr:href=""http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=" + data:post.canonicalUrl + "&t=" + data:post.title" rel="nofollow" title="Share on Facebook"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGGUjPxGhFu0W2No3RsZdkZGqK4mw41-mNvv6HhzECOFBCcuelLwzx_L7x_wQdPv6OqBcVM9R8DCzayHuFSoZAbNqUwDtul6SZckawEQa_23gHSjRHH8xT5PuBB_CBGI-SffsA8S5S9P2j/s1600/Facebook.png"/></a></h2> <h2><a expr:href=""http://twitter.com/home?status=" + data:post.title + " " + data:post.canonicalUrl" rel="nofollow" title="Share on Twitter"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIzfqrkX6bx0TlMidJwX2fliJFhc0NpzNbUCfztsAjlNzdY7uvLcplQfVcK4i2ps4gaLnup-dZS4Xa7Yj9e1qeywuARgyf0hidSNdPfRgRzccC8ySpnbE1ChL0p2JsA5bEhg_R6jBa6c25/s1600/Twitter.png"/></a></h2> </li> </ul> <ul> <li><h1>his page</h1></li> <li> <h2><a expr:href=""https://plus.google.com/share?url=" + data:post.canonicalUrl" rel="nofollow" title="Share on Google Plus"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDyQkCDA_GTFMSq378PJkAlMImQLmA1OjT7uity9mlnhzC7lyXNxyE5ohY_Kkn5Np9Buj0Pay9nCegKuW3oqlkSYRYVRaylQWpT-qIaVB_moTXFOSOGFnjBec4-oUH7ZEZtfmzC3kxznv4/s1600/Google-plus.png"/></a></h2> <h2> <a href="javascript:void((function(){var%20e=document.createElement('script');e.setAttribute('type','text/javascript');e.setAttribute('charset','UTF-8');e.setAttribute('src','http://assets.pinterest.com/js/pinmarklet.js?r='+Math.random()*99999999);document.body.appendChild(e)})());" rel="nofollow" title="Share on Pinterest"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9A_oFm0CPGc0onuqXbjIWgm7nso1WsbBBNgckLgt3mu4g2u0kQv8FF39uvT-Drz5Mn29nSvcf4OtZ29Goa3iCS7vlPbbgpqIFLO5x5wddy2v9DWEJcurxVVmXZm625T_w1zt9xII-_jTl/s1600/Pinterest.png"/></a> </h2> </li> </ul> </div><br /><h3>Creating A CSS Animated Share Button</h3>Step 1. From your <a href="http://blogger.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Blogger dashboard</a> > go to "Template" > click on the "Edit HTML" button.<br /><br />Step 2. Click anywhere inside the code area and press the Ctrl + F keys to open the blogger search box. Type or paste the <span style="background-color: yellow;">]]></b:skin></span> tag and hit Enter to find it.<br /><br />Step 3. Just above <span style="background-color: yellow;">]]></b:skin></span> add this CSS:<br /><blockquote class="tr_bq">.share_button { <br />width: 300px;<br />height: 50px; <br />margin: 10px auto; <br />}<br />.share_button ul { <br />width: 50%; <br />height: inherit; <br />float: left; <br />list-style: none; <br />margin: 0 !important; <br />padding: 0 !important; <br />}<br />.share_button ul h1 { <br />margin-top: 9%; <br />overflow: hidden; <br />width: 100%;<br />color: #4889F0; <br />font-size: 18px; <br />text-shadow:2px 2px 2px #fff; <br />}<br />.share_button ul li { <br />position: absolute; <br />height: inherit; <br />width: 150px; <br />margin: 0 !important; <br />padding: 0 !important; <br />background: #EEEEEE;<br />-webkit-transition: all 600ms;<br />-moz-transition: all 600ms;<br />-o-transition: all 600ms;<br />-ms-transition: all 600ms;<br />transition: all 600ms;<br />text-align: center;<br />}<br />.share_button ul li h2 { <br />display: inline-block; <br />width: 32%; <br />height: 40px; <br />overflow: hidden; <br />margin-top: 5%; <br />cursor: pointer; <br />border: 0 !important; <br />}<br />.share_button ul:first-child li:first-child{<br />text-align: right; <br />}<br />.share_button ul:last-child li:first-child{<br />text-align: left; <br />}<br />.share_button ul:first-child li:last-child,<br />.share_button:hover ul:first-child li:first-child {<br />-webkit-transform: rotateY(90deg);<br />-moz-transform: rotateY(90deg);<br />-o-transform: rotateY(90deg);<br />-ms-transform: rotateY(90deg);<br />transform: rotateY(90deg);<br />}<br />.share_button ul:last-child li:last-child,<br />.share_button:hover ul:last-child li:first-child {<br />-webkit-transform: rotateY(-90deg);<br />-moz-transform: rotateY(-90deg);<br />-o-transform: rotateY(-90deg);<br />-ms-transform: rotateY(-90deg);<br />transform: rotateY(-90deg);<br />}<br />.share_button:hover ul:first-child li:last-child,<br />.share_button:hover ul:last-child li:last-child {<br />-webkit-transform: rotateY(0deg);<br />-moz-transform: rotateY(0deg);<br />-o-transform: rotateY(0deg);<br />-ms-transform: rotateY(0deg);<br />transform: rotateY(0deg);<br />}</blockquote>Step 5. Now let's go ahead and insert the HTML button in the template. The most common place would be just after <span style="background-color: yellow;"><div class='post-footer'></span> - find the second <span style="background-color: yellow;"><div class='post-footer'></span> and paste the following code just above it:<br /><blockquote class="tr_bq"><div class='share_button'><br /><br /><ul><br /><li><h1><br />Share t<br /></h1></li><br /><br /><li><h2><br /><a expr:href='&quot;http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=&quot; + data:post.canonicalUrl + &quot;&amp;t=&quot; + data:post.title ' title='Share on Facebook'><img src="<span style="color: blue;">https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGGUjPxGhFu0W2No3RsZdkZGqK4mw41-mNvv6HhzECOFBCcuelLwzx_L7x_wQdPv6OqBcVM9R8DCzayHuFSoZAbNqUwDtul6SZckawEQa_23gHSjRHH8xT5PuBB_CBGI-SffsA8S5S9P2j/s1600/Facebook.png</span>"/></a></h2><br /><br /><h2><a expr:href='&quot;http://twitter.com/home?status=&quot; + data:post.title + &quot; &quot; + data:post.canonicalUrl ' title='Share on Twitter'><img src="<span style="color: blue;">https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIzfqrkX6bx0TlMidJwX2fliJFhc0NpzNbUCfztsAjlNzdY7uvLcplQfVcK4i2ps4gaLnup-dZS4Xa7Yj9e1qeywuARgyf0hidSNdPfRgRzccC8ySpnbE1ChL0p2JsA5bEhg_R6jBa6c25/s1600/Twitter.png</span>"/></a></h2><br /></li><br /></ul><br /><ul><br /><li><h1>his page</h1></li><br /><br /><li><br /><h2><a expr:href='&quot;https://plus.google.com/share?url=&quot; + data:post.canonicalUrl ' title='Share on Google Plus'><img src="<span style="color: blue;">https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDyQkCDA_GTFMSq378PJkAlMImQLmA1OjT7uity9mlnhzC7lyXNxyE5ohY_Kkn5Np9Buj0Pay9nCegKuW3oqlkSYRYVRaylQWpT-qIaVB_moTXFOSOGFnjBec4-oUH7ZEZtfmzC3kxznv4/s1600/Google-plus.png</span>"/></a></h2><br /><br /><h2><br /><a href='javascript:void((function(){var%20e=document.createElement(&apos;script&apos;);e.setAttribute(&apos;type&apos;,&apos;text/javascript&apos;);e.setAttribute(&apos;charset&apos;,&apos;UTF-8&apos;);e.setAttribute(&apos;src&apos;,&apos;http://assets.pinterest.com/js/pinmarklet.js?r=&apos;+Math.random()*99999999);document.body.appendChild(e)})());' title='Share on Pinterest'><img src="<span style="color: blue;">https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9A_oFm0CPGc0onuqXbjIWgm7nso1WsbBBNgckLgt3mu4g2u0kQv8FF39uvT-Drz5Mn29nSvcf4OtZ29Goa3iCS7vlPbbgpqIFLO5x5wddy2v9DWEJcurxVVmXZm625T_w1zt9xII-_jTl/s1600/Pinterest.png</span>"/></a><br /></h2><br /></li><br /></ul><br /><br /></div></blockquote>Note: if you want to change the icons, replace the URLs in blue.<br /><br />Step 5.

jQuery Sliding Panel with Expanding/Collapsing Content for Blogger

Many times when we think about <a href="http://helplogger.blogspot.com/2012/03/what-is-blogger-and-how-you-can-create.html">creating a blog</a>, we tend to put many gadgets, although many are not necessary, or perhaps only a few of them. In order to add the gadgets that we want, we need to have enough space. A solution would be to use an expanding/collapsing menu that is hidden and expands when the user clicks on it.<br /><br />Originally, this plugin called <b>Sliding Login Panel</b> was created so that users could register on the site, but as we know, in Blogger we don't have the option to add user registration, but that doesn't mean we can't take advantage of this plugin and use it to add other elements, such as a menu, search box, social icons, feed subscription etc. <div class="ssmainhide" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="278" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjt0C3c-5UUWDnOMGCdsr7gpAgKJVYM6f9VVyIXNEjBVCZizOAcYBW458r5Ylg_N_cWFavY-Oai4YXa9GMwkIyBA36x0e7w4E6IWLB3-MYy6SIw7Lu8olq1smnhCnF1CBMao-TV958Effpl/s1600/jquery-sliding-panel-blogger.png" width="400" /></div><br /><br />You can find a demo of this panel <a href="http://demohelplogger1.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">in this blog</a> - just click on the <b>Open menu</b> link on the top.<br /><br /><h3>Adding the jQuery Expand/Collapse Slider Panel to Blogger</h3>This sliding menu is made with jQuery, so the first thing is to add the script by pasting it just below the <head> tag:<br /><br />Step 1. From your Blogger dashboard > go to "Template" > click on the "Edit HTML" button:<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img alt="blogger template" border="0" height="256" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJUOkMHz3vLO0LGj2-EMUDmrqHKYrgqJ9RloAwpiNRj7piFUZ20T73GpIruWthjD-TxF75_8D2Nyqdt3Cl3JhCNEW_tSk4aEk_ASWRQ7IMm21LnSTTnux2VBpsk84FnZQlNGHCWdVrwpog/s1600/blogger_blogspot_template_edit_html_tutorial.png" title="add a jQuery sliding panel with expanding/collapsing content to Blogger" width="320" /></div><br />Step 2. Click anywhere inside the code area and search by pressing the CTRL + F keys for the <span style="background-color: yellow;"><head></span> tag<br /><br />Step 3. Below the <span style="background-color: yellow;"><head></span> tag, add this script:<br /><blockquote class="tr_bq"><script src='http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.2/jquery.min.js' type='text/javascript'></script><br /><script type='text/javascript'><br />$(document).ready(function() {<br /><br />$(&quot;#open&quot;).click(function(){<br />$(&quot;div#panel&quot;).slideDown(&quot;slow&quot;);<br />});<br /><br />$(&quot;#close&quot;).click(function(){<br />$(&quot;div#panel&quot;).slideUp(&quot;slow&quot;);<br />});<br /><br />$(&quot;#toggle a&quot;).click(function () {<br />$(&quot;#toggle a&quot;).toggle();<br />});<br /><br />});</script><br /><br /><b:if cond='data:blog.pageType != &quot;item&quot;'><br /><style><br />body#layout #slide-top-panel {display:none !important;}<br /></style><br /></b:if></blockquote><br />Step 4. Now search (CTRL + F) the <span style="background-color: yellow;"></head></span> tag and add the CSS styles just above it:<br /><blockquote class="tr_bq"><style><br />.clearfix:after {content: ".";display: block;height: 0;clear: both;visibility: hidden;}<br />.clearfix {display: inline-block;}<br />* html .clearfix {height: 1%;}<br />.clearfix {display: block;}<br />.clearfix {height:

EdgeRank

For those of you who (most probably) never even heard of the term "<b>EdgeRank</b>" before, here's a quick 101-guide on what Facebook's EdgeRank is, what it does and how it works. (especially interesting if you are an SMM (Social Media Marketing) or SEO professional.<br /><br /><b><span style="font-size: large;">What is EdgeRank?</span></b><br /><br />EdgeRank is an ingeniously programmed <b>algorithm</b> invented and deployed by <b>Facebook</b> which allowd the social networking site to filter the News Feed for their over one billion users continually. It decides which exact new content is being displayed on the <b>News Feed</b> of Facebook users and what position a certain new feed gets. EdgeRank does this by comparing the authority, usefulness and popularity of people, pages, posts and pictures among many other variables.<br /><br />EdgeRank "ranks Edges", looks at the particular connections it has with the particular user and then gives that "Edge" a certain ranking which is obviously mirroring the specific importance to the user. So, the most relevant and important stories, pictures and status updates will end up at the top while the lessser relevant / interesting "objects" will get a less lower place (or not a place at all).<br /><br /><b><span style="font-size: large;">The EdgeRank algorithm</span></b><br /><br />EdgeRank uses a range of ingredients in its algorithm formula to calculate an Edge's importance to the user. The three most important ones are:<br /><br /><u>Affinity</u> - A 1-way relationship between Facebook-user and Edge. So basically it looks at the interaction of the user and the authority posting the particular news item (likes, shares, comments, visits, chats, etc.). Is the authority a close relative or a fan-page? A friend with many other common friends or just a vague friendly connection?<br /><br /><u>Weight</u> - A coprehensive "value-system" that increases or decreases the value of specific actions on the Facebook network.
