Adding floating social media sharing buttons to Blogger

As promised to some of my readers, here’s a tutorial on how to add a Mashable-like floating bar of social media buttons to a Blogger blog. I made it into a widget, so you don’t have to go into your template HTML to install (or remove) them. Just drop the whole code into a HTML/Javascript gadget.
I have included Facebook Share, Retweet, Stumble, Google Buzz, Digg This and Google +1 (plus one) buttons in the bar. Each of them comes with a live counter. The corners of Facebook Share button and counter are rounded to blend with the rest of the buttons (doesn’t work in Internet Explorer, of course). You can add more social bookmarking or sharing buttons later if you wish.

Adding a floating “back to top” button

Back to Top button or link is a link that sends your viewer to the top of page once clicked. This will help your readers navigate better, especially so if you have long pages. This link is usually located at the bottom of page or in the footer area.

What I am going explain in this article is slightly different. The function is the same yet the location of the link/button is different. As the name suggests, we are

Open multiple links / windows in a single click

A reader asked if she can make a navigation tab open more than one link when clicked. The answer is YES it can be done, with the help from a small Javascript.
(Now if you come here trying to find out how YOU can open multiple links on pages you visit, try Snap Links, a Firefox addon.)
First let’s look at an HTML code for a regular anchor tag <a>:

<a href="YOUR_URL" target="_blank">Link text</a>

When clicked, this code will open YOUR_URL in a new window. To add another link, just add the code below before “>” in the opening tag:
onclick="window.open("YOUR_2nd_URL");"

It will open YOUR_2nd_URL in a second new window. To add more links, simply add more window.open(); before the closing quotation mark.
So if you were to open three links, your anchor will look like this:

<a href="YOUR_URL" target="_blank" onclick="window.open(""YOUR_2nd_URL""); window.open(""YOUR_3rd_URL"");">Link text</a>

Jumping to a different location on the same page

This in-page linking or bookmarking is a great way of allowing readers to navigate quickly within a long article. Wikipedia for example applies this method to the table of contents in all their articles.
The rest of the article deals with your post HTML/source code. You would want to switch the post editor to HTML/source mode when applying what you learn here.

Jump! by Aske Holst

Let’s get started:

Automatically Open links in new Tab/Window

Opening a link in new window or tab.
We sometimes put links in our posts. And naturally our visitor will click on those links. By default when a link is clicked it will open in the same window.
If your blog is like mine where visitors only come in once in a blue moon ha-ha, keeping them in your blog once they come in is crucial. We wouldn't want them visitors disappear from our blog through outbound links, now would we?
But don’t worry guys, we can prevent or at least delay this by opening the links in a separate window or tab. This can be achieved by giving the appropriate value for target attribute in your link’s HTML.
