Floating Twitter Buttons With auto Sliding

I recently shared a floating widget that contained Twitter, Google +1 and Facebook Counters and it would slide up and down with the movement of the page. Some Twitter lovers amongst you asked for just a twitter button so the script below will help you add a floating twitter button with count on your blogger blogs. The Demo is the same as the previous one but this time with only one button:

 

Live Demo

Add Floating Twitter Button To Blogger

1. Go To Blogger > Design

2. Choose a HTML/JavaScript widget

3. Paste the following code inside it,

<style>

/*-------MBT Floating Counters------------*/

#floatdiv {
    position:absolute;
    width:94px;
    height:100px;
    top:0;
    left:0;
        z-index:100
}

#mbtsidebar {
        border:0px solid #ddd;
        padding-left:0px;
    position:relative;
    margin:0 0 0 5px;
}

</style>

 

 

<div id="floatdiv">

Simply replace mybloggertricks with your twitter username. The above code will display a vertical count as shown below:

If you want a horizontal count or no count at all then replace vertical with horizontal or none
