How To Change Blogger Share Buttons To Cute Images

Blogger already has the option for share buttons, but they don’t have a ‘pin it’ button and honestly, I think they look … meh. One of my clients wanted to do something classy and customized on her site, so I looked ALL OVER online trying to find a tutorial on how to do what I wanted. I couldn’t really find it anywhere, which is why I decided to share my own tutorial on how I did it. I spent waaaaaaay too long figuring this out, so hopefully this saves you the headache!
If you’re savvy with HTML, you can customize this to have your own images and match your fonts/colors. If you’re looking for an easy solution, I’ve made up some cute grey buttons that should match most any blog. Voila

The buttons included are for Facebook, Twitter, Email, and Pinterest. If you keep reading there is also a code to add in a Google+ and Tumblr button as well.

So. First things first, you’re going to have to delete the Blogger share buttons that you currently have on your site. To do this, log in to your Blogger Dashboard, and go to the Layout tab. Once there, you’ll see the skeleton of your blog. Find the place where your blog posts go, and at the bottom, you’ll see a link that says Edit. Click that link:

Once you’re in, you’ll see a window that lets you configure the blog posts. One of the options is to Show the Share Buttons. Make sure this button is NOT clicked.

Once you are in the HTML of your blog, click within your HTML code and hit Ctrl F (PC) or command F (mac, the command is the button with the apple on it). This will bring up a little search box in the top right corner of your code (if the search box pops up in the right hand corner of your browser, it will not work, you need to click within your HTML code first, and THEN hit ctrl F). Ok, now find the following piece of code: <div class=’post-footer’> You might find that more than once – if so, you want the SECOND one. DIRECTLY after that piece of code, paste the following code:

1	<!-- AddThis Button BEGIN -->
2	<div style='text-align: left;'>
3	<div class='addthis_toolbox'>
4	<div class='custom_images'><a class='addthis_button_share'><img alt='Share this Post' border='0' src='https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-zITAERiEREM/WTu--B2YDDI/AAAAAAAAATc/gqPug_RWns8Z6KT_-RI2iSIDieCGOxJfwCLcB/s1600/bhanu.png'/></a><a class='facebook' expr:href='&quot;http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=&quot; + data:post.url + &quot;&amp;t=&quot; + data:post.title' rel='nofollow' target='_blank' title='Share This On Facebook'><img alt='Facebook share' border='0' src='https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-hPSz2cL1JDA/WTttbFUHi3I/AAAAAAAAASU/tkZp4aRfksM6ODCvjBvXUK6rGM6sTHpuACLcB/s1600/fbhanu.png'/></a><a class='twitter' expr:href='&quot;https://twitter.com/share?url=&quot; + data:post.url + &quot;&amp;title=&quot; + data:post.title' rel='nofollow' target='_blank' title='Tweet This'><img alt='Twitter share' border='0' src='https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-r7pp1OVM-Lw/WTtvGiNKFGI/AAAAAAAAASc/uKaVaIao5uk-FXbfwY4VIyo5o2VKqxwnQCLcB/s1600/tbhanu.png'/></a><a class='addthis_button_pinterest_share'><img alt='Pin This' border='0' src='https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-qt-afLM_qKE/WTtwJqhW5QI/AAAAAAAAASg/7dzebXnM10Ywr-8VMSaf7sNm0x21fakIgCLcB/s1600/pbhanu.png'/></a><a class='addthis_button_email'><img alt='Email This' border='0' src='https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-MugHsQn5kkk/WTtxhD3la6I/AAAAAAAAASo/xOp-gAgVC78XmwGB4jXRhid6dm0LI_4gwCLcB/s1600/ebhanu.png'/></a>
