Customizing the position of the gadget/widget!

This is an easy customizable widget. You don't need to customize any big thing in this widget/gadget. Just you need to change the position of the widget. Well, it is optional because if the position fits your blog you may continue without customizing the position. So all just you need is to change the highlighted text in the above code. The code says: bottom: 2% and left:2%. This means the widget will float 2% away from the bottom and left. You can change those percents to change the position of your widget. 

After all, we have added a new cute sharing widget to our blog. I will be posting many other coll and cute bookmarking gadgets and more. Don't forget to subscribe to Blogger Tricks Hut. Happy Blogging. Comments are welcome.
