How To Show Social Media Sharing Button?

Actually, Blogger has default social media sharing feature, but it doesn't show sharing count. Sharing count help us as author, knowing about popular post or reader preferences.

Another way to show social media sharing button is using horizontal social button. I like this social button because not too large to put on my post. Usefull and simple enough.

How to put horizontal social button on blog?

• Go to Template, then click Edit HTML. 
• Tick mark Expand Widget Template, then find (ctrl+f) 

<div class='post-header-line-1'> if you want to put it above post, or
<div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-1'> if you want to put it under post

• Paste these code below that code on second step

<!-- Horizontal social buttons Start -->
<div class='horizontal-social-buttons' style='float:right;padding:10px 0 10px;'>
<!-- Facebook Like+Send -->
<div style='float:left;'>
<fb:like colorscheme='light' expr:href='data:post.url' font='' layout='button_count' send='true' show_faces='false'/>
</div>
