The Floating Social Media Sharing is a very popular widget on all the top blogs, being a very good way to increase the number of times your posts get shared on Twitter, Facebook and other social networks.

Customization:

• Vertical alignment - Change the value of bottom in code line 3. The code positions the button relative to the bottom of your browser window. To fix the distance even when window is resized, specify the value in px (pixels) instead of %.
• Horizontal alignment - Change the value in red of margin-left. Negative value pushes the button to the left of the main blog column, positive value pushes it to the right. Increase or decrease the value based on your needs.
• Twitter setting - Replace Helplogger with your Twitter username
• Replacing and removing buttons - You can replace existing buttons with your own. Each button is represented by this code: <div class='sbutton'> BUTTON CODE HERE </div>
• RSS Feed - Change the text in blue with the url address of your RSS feed.

Enjoy :)
