Customize Labels Cloud in Blogger
This is how it will look after you apply the new style.
Each label link is nested inside a span tag followed by a class named label-size. If the font-size is not specified the widget changes font-size of each label according to its post-count. Therefore showing big and
small clouds. Introducing custom styles would over-ride the exiting styles thus changing the entire look.
The code below can be customized in several ways to create exciting label designs. You can also add background images to them.
Follow these easy steps:
- Go to Blogger > Settings> Layouts
- Click add a gadget and choose Labels
- Inside the settings make sure to choose the cloud display. You may set other options as per your requirement. See the screenshot below as example
Please choose to display at most 25 labels. Too much labels on homepage look awkward. Showcase your best categories only.
4. Now save the widget and go to settings > Template
5. Backup your template
6. Click Edit html > Proceed and search for this

7. Just above it paste the following CSS code:
/*-----Custom Labels Cloud widget by http://helperbloggers.blogspot.com----*/
.label-size{
margin:0 2px 6px 0;
padding: 3px;
text-transform: uppercase;
border: solid 1px #C6C6C6;
border-radius: 3px;
float:left;
text-decoration:none;
font-size:10px;
color:#666;
}
.label-size:hover {
border:1px solid #6BB5FF;
text-decoration: none;
-moz-transition: all 0.5s ease-out;
-o-transition: all 0.5s ease-out;
-webkit-transition: all 0.5s ease-out;

-moz-transform: rotate(7deg);
-o-transform: rotate(7deg);
-webkit-transform: rotate(7deg);
-ms-transform: rotate(7deg);
transform: rotate(7deg);
filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Matrix(

zoom: 1;
}
.label-size a {
text-transform: uppercase;
float:left;
text-decoration: none;
}
.label-size a:hover {
text-decoration: none;
}
8. Save your template
9. All done!
Visit your blogs and see the labels completely transformed to small neatly crafted rectangular boxes. If in case you want the label boxes to be of random sizes depending on the post-count then simply delete font-size:10px; from the above code.

Create Floating Bar For Pinterest & Other Sharing Buttons
This is one of the few social sharing widgets that took a lot of my time in designing it. You have seen the trend of floating sharing count buttons on popular blogs. The traditional icons are now replaced with auto incremented counter buttons that are updated in seconds. We created different versions of this bar applying both Jquery effects and CSS3 styles but this widget is different because it contains custom twitter, pinterest and an Email button. Services like Addthis and Sharethis are both doing a great job but they still need to work on some of their plugin integration conflicts. Pinterest pin it buttons are causing great trouble and it badly fails in fetching the correct thumbnail image. In most cases it does not even select a image thus making the entire pinning concept tasteless. We however redesigned the widget provided by shareThis to create a new one by correcting all flaws. This sharing bar would float to the left of your blog posts and would float as the visitor scrolls up or down. This widget contains counters of important social networking sites that has the potential to bring you traffic by circulating your content to a wider audience. We have tested the widget on major browsers like IE7+, Firefox, Chrome etc. and found it working just fine with no compatibility issues or design conflicts.
Did you check the previous version? Floating Sharing Counters
We have integrated both Addthis and ShareThis service in it. In order to customize the twitter button and others we took the Sharethis default code and customize it to change the button image, bubble size and count text. The widget that we initially developed looks extremely attractive compared to this one. You can see the first designed draft version in the screenshot below:
The steps are kept extremely easy to apply. All you need is to copy and paste the long chunk of code we developed and tested all day. Follow these friendly steps:
- Go to Blogger > Template
- Backup your template
- Click Edit HTML
- Click Proceed
- Then Click Expand Widget Templates
- Search for
