How to add Pure CSS3 Social Icons under Every Post

Today I'm going to teach you how you can add Social Share Icons under Every Post using pure CSS3. Social network site play an very important role in publishing your site among readers. There are many social sites but in here I used most popular networks. These socials icons have a cool effect when mouse pointer in hovered over these icons. These icons are made up of CSS without use of any JavaScript which slows down your page speed. Clicking any icon will share your post in that particular site.

To add this social icons follow below steps

1. Log in to your blogger dashboard first.
2. Lick on Template and then on "Edit HTML".
3. Now press Ctrl + F search for <data:post.body/> code and paste the below given code just below<data:post.body/>.

CSS Codes:

<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == "item"'> <link href='https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/76401970/All%20Blogger%20Tricks/abt-social-anime.css' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'/> <ul class='abt-social' id='abt-cssanime'> <li class='abt-facebook'> <a expr:href='"http://www.facebook.com/share.php?v=4&src=bm&u=" + data:post.url + "&t=" + data:post.title ' onclick='window.open(this.href,'sharer','toolbar=0,status=0,width=626,height=436'); return false;' rel='nofollow' title='Share this on Facebook'><b>Facebook</b></a> </li> <li class='abt-twitter'> <a expr:href='"http://twitter.com/home?status=" + data:post.title + " -- " + data:post.url ' rel='nofollow' title='Tweet This!'><b>Twitter</b></a> </li> <li class='abt-googlebuzz'> <a expr:href='"http://www.google.com/buzz/post?url=" + data:post.url + "&imageurl="' rel='nofollow' title='Post on GoogleBuzz'><b>Google Buzz</b></a> </li> <li class='abt-stumbleupon'> <a expr:href='"http://www.stumbleupon.com/submit?url=" + data:post.url + "&title=" + data:post.title ' rel='nofollow' title='Stumble upon something good?

Top 5 Things of Blogger Should always Remember

There are long list of what blogger should do and what not. As an example a Good Blogger is one who don't write for the Search Engines but for the people. There are many things which a Blogger should keep in his mind while Blogging. But there are some of the top points are listed below. If you are new to Blogging then this post may be really more helpful than you think.

1. Update your Blog Regularly 

You must update your blog regularly. If you are the one who don't care for posting would your readers care to read your blog? Update your blog regularly and popularize it which we will see in the next point.

2. Spread posts and site through Social Networks 

Facebook, Twitter, Digg, Google+ are some of the huge Social networking sites where you can get good traffic to your posts. If you ignore this point, note that you are just neglecting a lot of traffic. Spread your posts but never SPAM it just lowers the reputation of your blog.

3. Never Copy and Paste 

I have seen many new bloggers copy and past some others aticles but remember as God notices our every single activity the same way Google and other search engines see our blogs. Copying content is curse for a new blog so you should avoid that. Well if you liked a post on the internet then you can Re-write the article or give the proper credits. Plagiarism should be stopped and never followed.

4. Patience always yields sweet fruit 

A large number of Bloggers fail due to this reason. New Bloggers expect a lot in very short span of time. You must not expect results overnight. Give your blog a little time. For example adding Adsense at very beginning can't get you much money but if you wait patiently till you build a good network and quality traffic then the result could be far better.

5. SEO is a very big factor 

Without Search Engine Optimization a blogger never actract huge traffic. Almost all the sites get maximum traffic through Search Engine and if your Search Engine Ranking Position is low then you are sure to get less traffic. This can be avoided through SEO. Better ranking in Search Engines will yield you lot of traffic.

Then I hope these five points will help you and your blog get more traffic.
