Adding a sharing bar below post titles or at post footer are best locations to increase your social shares and social media referral traffic. You can choose to display it twice on a single page or you can choose to display it once at top or bottom of your blog post.
Demo: Scroll to the bottom of this post
JSC blogger widget by default includes the following 10 popular share buttons:
- Facebook
- GooglePlus +1
- Twitter
- LinkedIn
- Pinterest
- StumbleUpon
- Buffer
- Viber - Will automatically display in mobile devices

Note: If you want to display the sharing bar below post titles then paste the following HTML code just above <data:post.body/> but if you wish to display the sharing bar at bottom of post then paste the following HTML code just below <data:post.body/>
If you want to display the sharing bar twice at both these locations, then paste the following HTML code twice once above <data:post.body/> and once below <data:post.body/>.

Customization Guide:
- All button locations are labeled for easy readability. You can easily change/swap the locations of button within the widget.
- Replace stc_network with your buffer handle or profile username or simply your blog title without spaces.
- If you wish to display some buttons in mobile devices only then paste its code inside the yellow highlighted tags.
- All buttons inside the purple highlighted tags will remain hidden when page loads and will be displayed only when the user clicks the +/- switch button. Buttons will display using this toggle button which we named the switch.
- If you wish to add more buttons inside the switch then simply copy its code and paste it inside the purple switch tags.
- To remove buttons from inside the switch, simply copy the button's code and paste it above the switch tag i.e.
<div class='switchoff2' style='display:none;'>
