So lets see how can we add this amazing widget to our blogger blogs.

<style>
#email_icon {

height: 86px;

Step #2 Add The JavaScript
Now Simply Go to Edit HTML section of your blog and find the following code:
</body>
Now just above that, paste the following code:
<link href='https://gj37765.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/html/mddemo/4in1widgetv2.css' rel='stylesheet'/>
<script src='http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.2/jquery.min.js' type='text/javascript'/>
<script src='http://apis.google.com/js/plusone.js' type='text/javascript' type='text/javascript'/>
<script src='http://makingdifferent.googlecode.com/files/fanbox_init.js' type='text/javascript'/>
<script type='text/javascript'>
jQuery(document).ready(function(){
jQuery("#facebook_right").hover(function(){ jQuery(this).stop(true,false).animate({right: 0}, 500); },function(){ jQuery("#facebook_right").stop(true,false).animate({right: -200}, 500); }); jQuery("#twitter_right").hover(function(){ jQuery(this).stop(true,false).animate({right: 0}, 500); },function(){ jQuery("#twitter_right").stop(true,false).animate({right: -250}, 500); }); jQuery("#google_plus_right").hover(function(){ jQuery(this).stop(true,false).animate({right: 0}, 500); },function(){ jQuery("#google_plus_right").stop(true,false).animate({right: -154}, 500); }); jQuery("#feedburner_right").hover(function(){ jQuery(this).stop(true,false).animate({right: 0}, 500); },function(){ jQuery("#feedburner_right").stop(true,false).animate({right: -303}, 500); }); });
</script>
