Floating Social icons with Hover effect for Blogger



Today I am going to show how you can add floating social icons (Twitter and Facebook) on Blogger. As already stated these icons are floating i.e. there position remains same after scrolling. This widget also also Hover effect in it. When hovered with a mouse on these buttons the opacity increases.

After the configuration the icons will be displayed on the left hand side of the template. On clicking on these buttons you will be redirected to the Twitter / Facebook Page you want. You can see the working demo of these buttons by clicking the link below and seeing on the left of the template.
