Step 8 Now hit the Save template button.
Now check your any Blog post and see smart social sharing widget displaying on your posts. This widget only display in your post page because I have used conditional tag. But my recommendation is to add this widget at the end of the Blog post. Because if you have placed advertisement below of your Post title then your Blog visitors may not like it.
Let me know how is going on your new smart social sharing widget after adding it on your Blogger template.
