ince it is weekend so I thought lets  play with some CSS again.Facebook Like Button and retweet counter by tweetmeme are the two most widely used social media widgets without which you can’t call a blog a blog. Both these buttons along with Stumble Upon bookmarking button can let your readers circulate/share your tutorials and articles with their interested collegues and friends connected to them via these social networks. With a little HTML spiced with CSS we succeeded in creating a floating widget that will include these three buttons and will stay fixed at the middle lift side of your websites. The widget settings can surely be changed to align it to the right, bottom or left if you wish. You can also add more buttons to it if you wish like DIGG for instance.  See a demo first,
