</b:if> Note: This share box will appear only on the post pages of your Blogger blog. If you want to show it on each and every page, then simply remove the green lines from the code.
5. Save your template.
Customization
If you want the Share Box to be shown on the leaft instead of the default, please replace the following code:
.multisharebox {
background: none repeat scroll 0 0 #EFEFEF;
float: right;
margin: 5px 0px 3px 10px;
padding: 0 5px 0;
text-shadow: 0 1px 0 #FFFFFF;
width: 260px;
border:4px solid #d8dfea;
}
with the one below one:
.multisharebox {
background: none repeat scroll 0 0 #EFEFEF;
border: 4px solid #D8DFEA;
float: left;
margin: 5px 10px 3px 0;
padding: 0 5px;
text-shadow: 0 1px 0 #FFFFFF;
width: 260px;
}
That’s all!
Good luck!
