Social Media Share Widget For Blogger

Presenting a very cool subscription widget! As we know social media is the best one to pull traffic, and this widget is the best to start pulling traffic. This widget is very cool designed as you can see the image at left. This has a search bar, link to your RSS feeds, link to your blog's Twitter Profile, link to your Facebook Fan Page and share buttons that share the page the visitors are in. As per my results this widget is one my favorite widgets ever.

Do we have to edit the html? Can't we add it directly to HTML gadget?

Author

@mark: We can do that but the purpose of this widget is to be at the top of all widgets, so we need to add the code in html, to make sure that the widget is always on the top!
