Smart Sharing Plugin – Put Floating Share Buttons On Your WordPress Blog

The first time I saw the floating share buttons in Mashable, I already want to install it in my blog because it’s so cool and I know that it will help my readers to easily submit my blog posts to different social networking sites. I immediately searched it in WordPress Plugin Directory and I used different keywords but I cannot find it, but luckily, when I searched Google for “floating share buttons”, Smart Sharing plugin appeared!

What is Smart Sharing:

Smart sharing adds a floating box with social media buttons in single posts only. By default, you can pick between Retweet, Facebook, Digg, and StumbleUpon. But you are not limited to these choices because there is an option to add your own custom codes.

Smart Sharing is probably the best “imitation” of the Mashable’s floating share buttons and you can see the live demo here in my blog (it’s on the left-side that scrolls down as you go down).

You can add the other buttons/icons in the Custom Codes box. You can use the CSS class “sharer” as a separator. Here’s an example if you want to add the “Google Buzz button”:
