Step 3. Now search for this line
<b:section class='header' id='header' maxwidgets='1' showaddelement='no'>
Step 4. And just above it, add this code:
<div class='social-media-icons' id='social-icons'>
<ul>
<li class='media_icon'><a href='http://facebook.com/username'><img border='0' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiW8OoXkCH6ha0ZmJEoG9GmedT9NX-NWFpGgiGh0f1Cx1MMekJMHvePCBK8saYmtnSRUruCwXiFN-K1hj9JoXt6Tw4Cz3hMyjv2i6N_zmTXrlcHwkjNMFGecdm_tKrrqTrCF1ymxEtCA44/s1600/Facebook.png'/></a></li>
<li class='media_icon'><a href='http://twitter.com/#!/username'><img border='0' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEXlH2PZCWl8WosT1xgCxT3yhwkfIcrdPWNgl83uOI6so75pSTyA7PDz78ErZrMsFY1kod4cyw_h6FGBLo9yrAQU2Icu6igv2Z3Y2_m8uC23b-k9wTL_aim4eVD_G3SXLVKvzr1KXNLIA/s1600/Twitter.png'/></a></li>
<li class='media_icon'><a href='https://plus.google.com/XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX/about'><img border='0' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjN9v8fJGQqoSiIeHNXla0YDeCnqW_VxCCI99yMvOsQhZyPmWGYBbd8pr9VPTDLOkq5RExUaocfRdJzeoBjzu3QZg74Ym6Nit3-xDMwMOJeJwrg58lqfj8qQxsBlzBw2GZD00HfqonvZlk/s1600/googleplus.png'/></a></li>
<li class='media_icon'><a href='http://name-of-your-blog.com/feeds/posts/default'><img border='0' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-HpHamhqWpzzP2bKzPzwrK8dxP4EkJ9wyC2a-PD3SGznlpHCy1gBbfQ5IiEtFD0wK9n8TpyKhRhsXDlUxEo2ma8QhKV0wKSG64UuUvjT7TRvphqLrMdVh5vFApvaOlnzQ6VgxI4n_vTU/s1600/RSS.png'/></a></li>
</ul></div>
Customization
- Change what's in red with your usernames and id: the first is your Facebook username, the second is that of Twitter, in the third you should change the X by the ID of your Google+ profile and in the fourth you will put the name of your blog.
- To change the icons, just replace the urls in blue with the ones of your images.
- You can add more icons if you want, you just have to add before </ul></div> a line like this for each extra icon you want:
<li class='media_icon'><a href='Link URL'><img border='0' src='Image URL'/></a></li>
Step 5. Finally, Save the Template to apply the changes.
The effect is done with CSS3, so this effect will not work in older browsers.
