    \nTwo minutes is all you’ll need to make your site even more stunning.<\/p>\n

    Among the hundreds of thousands of sites powered by Shareaholic, floating share buttons has been one of our most requested features. So much so that one Shareaholic enthusiast figured out a way<\/a> to create a cool floating bar with our plugin.<\/p>\n

    Now, we’ve made it 1-click easy\u00a0— no code necessary — for all of our users to enable Floated Share Buttons.<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Here’s a quick how-to for enabling Floating Share Buttons:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. As always,\u00a0sign into<\/a>\u00a0your account (or, if you’re using one of our CMS plugins ex. WordPress or Drupal, click on “Edit General Settings” from within the plugin), and notice that Floated Share Buttons are now available.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      \"Settings<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Toggle the little button on the far right to turn Floated Share Buttons on (green) or off (red).<\/li>\n
      2. Hit the\u00a0\"Settings\u00a0icon next to the on\/off option to configure settings and\u00a0arrive here:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        \"Updated<\/p>\n

          \n
        1. Want your share buttons to be just<\/em> perfect on your site?<\/strong> Select your button size (normal\/mini), activate share counts<\/a> (or leave them off), and adjust bar alignment (left\/right). Turn the “more options button”\u00a0on (green) if you want to make it\u00a0available to allow visitors to share to other networks, or turn it\u00a0off (red) entirely. And if you want your buttons to look just right on your site, adjust their vertical offset<\/a> to position them perfectly with your site’s theme.<\/li>\n
        2. Customize the set of buttons you *want* to feature.<\/strong> At the bottom, find the social networks you love and click to add those buttons to your floating share bar. Select as many or as few as you like. p.s. our share buttons are\u00a0100% responsive, in other words they are “mobile- and tablet-friendly”.<\/em><\/li>\n
        3. Don’t care for certain share buttons?<\/strong> Deselect them by hovering over each one on the preview screen and clicking the little “x” to remove it.<\/li>\n
        4. Want a specific share button to be the first one your readers see?<\/strong> Arrange your buttons in whatever order you like by hovering over each one you want to move, clicking-and-holding it, then dragging it to its desired position.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          \"Click,<\/p>\n

            \n
          1. Finally, when you are done, scroll down to hit “Save Settings,” and see the new buttons appear on your site. Pretty neat, huh?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            Oh, and did I forget to mention this new feature is free<\/em>? If you’re not a user yet, unlock our content amplification platform here<\/a>. Otherwise, enable Floated Share Buttons now!\u00a0Your readers will thank you for it with all the social shares in the world.<\/p>\n
