Vizi Mharoo Sukanasi

Some of you asked me for adding Social bookmark button in post in blog . All templates I made are modified ,very different from default template ,so if you are using a automatic service ,scan template and adding social bookmark button in template , you will get no result .
I have a small tip for you all . We can use Addthis service .
You can go to this page and see the list of bookmark button styles you want to add to your blog .
For example ,I will use Tweet+like+share button .

click on this style ,you will see there are 3 block of code include : The CSS ,the HTML and Javascript .
Open your template in any word editor you have , insert the CSS code before ]]>
if there is no CSS code block , you can ignore this step .

But I think it's not a good one if user have no knowledge on HTML,and PHP ... (just my opinion ^^)

FatFreeCart is a shopping cart developed by the team behind E-junkie shopping cart.It's built with jQuery, ThickBox, JSOD and E-junkie's e-commerce engine . It support Paypal and Google Checkout ,easy to integrate to any website or blog ( include Blogger ). FatFreeCart has two version , Free and Pro. But in this post ,I want to talk about Free version (free is always the best ^^)
