How to Add Personalized Social Media Buttons to a Blogger Site

by Edie Melson @EdieMelson


Today I'm excited to show you how to add personalized social media buttons to a Blogger site. You may notice this blog is sporting a new set of buttons right below my header. They were surprisingly easy to install and I couldn't wait to share how to do it. 

The screencast below contains step-by-step instructions for adding them to a blogger site. You can also add them to a WordPress site, but the process is slightly different. I will be sharing how to do that in a SEPARATE screencast on Friday, on my other site, www.TheAuthorRoadmap.com. So if you have a WordPress site, stay tuned and Friday I'll show you the process for your site.

Be sure to leave any questions or comments in the comments section below. 



Don't forget to join the conversation!
Blessings,
Edie

  1. Edie, I am so glad to be connected to such a brain and excellent teacher! Thank you for this tutorial. I've gone through it once and will go through it again before attempting to implement it on my blog. I've also shared it.
    One other tutorial I'd like to see is how to put within my blog the click buttons for previous blogs,or whatever. Example: Click here if you missed Part 1.
    Blessings on your day,

  7. Thank you, so much! You made it seem simple, Edie. I have a question about blogger and how photos are integrated into the posting of a piece.

    I belong to ACFW and SCBWI, but I ended up deleting those icons because they'd show-up in the promotional link of a new post. Whenever I'd put up a link to a blog post on Facebook, sometimes those graphics would come up first and I wouldn't even have a choice to pick one of the pictures from my post. Sometimes I have two or three in that week's writing. Is there a way that I can pick which one shows up in the promotion of the post?

    I also had an issue with it posting the words from my bio (which I then took off of there) instead of the first few lines of the post.

    Thanks for your time and all you do for novices and pros alike!
