There are quite a few of sharing widgets out there. Some offers amazing amount of sharing sites while some, like this one here, only shares a few. However, it has the cool drop down feature that I really like and the icons are really nice. Here’s a list of the sites you are able to share and bookmark with with this widget.

• del.icio.us
  
• digg
  
• stumbleupon
  
• reddit
  
• google bookmarks
  
• twitter
  
• facebook
  
• mixx
  
• subscribe
  
• buzz up
  
• linkedin
  
• designfloat
  
• technorati
  
• script and style
  
• myspace
  
• blinklist
  
• friendfeed
  
• newsvine

As always, before you make any changes to your blog, save a template of it first.

Here’s how you do it:

1. Go to Dashboard>>Design>>Edit HTML
   
2. Tick on Expand Widget Template.
   
3. Find the following code.
   

   ]]></b:skin>
4. Paste the following code right before it.
