Add Facebook share button with Counter

This tutorial will show you how to add a Facebook share button to every blog post in Blogger. You will have an option whether to include a counter or not. The counter will show a live count of how many times a post has been shared -a way to gauge the post popularity.
This button (when clicked) will share the containing post. It will detect the correct post URL regardless of the type of page you are at -be it home page, individual/post page or any other pages.




Now let us proceed:

1. Go to Dashboard > Design > Edit HTML.
2. Back up your template.
3. Tick the  Expand Widget Templates check box on top right of the HTML window.
4. Find the following code in your HTML, this is the code for your post content:
   
   
   
   
   
   
   

   <data:post.body/>

   
   
5. Paste the Facebook button code immediately below (after) it:
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   <!-- Facebook share button Start -->

   <b:if cond='data:blog.pageType != &quot;static_page&quot;'>

   <div style='float:left;padding:5px 5px 5px 0;'>

   <a expr:share_url='data:post.url' href='http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php' name='fb_share' type='box_count'>Share</a><script src='http://static.ak.fbcdn.net/connect.php/js/FB.Share' type='text/javascript'></script>

   </div>

   </b:if>

   <!-- Facebook share button Start -->

   
   
   
   
   
   
   
6. Configure button
   
   Choose the type of button by replacing the value of  type attribute (in line 4) with the corresponding code below.
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   

   FB button	Code
   	box_count
   	button_count
   	button
   	icon

7. Button repositioning
   
   The steps above positioned the button on bottom left of each post. You can change the positioning if you like:
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   • Position it on top of post
     
     Place the button code before (instead of after) <data:post.body/>.
   • Position it on the right
     
     Change the float in line 3 from left to right.
8. Displaying button on static pages
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   • To also display the button in static pages, remove the conditional tag -code line 2 and 6.
9. Preview, you should see the buttons appear at the end each post.
10. If you like what you see then Save.
11. Enjoy!
