1. Create a bookmarking sites widget on WidgetBox
WidgetBox is one of the best widget providers around the internet. What they provide for bloggers are varied and can be the best landing base for those of you who love sophisticated widgets.

2. Enter your URL address
In the WidgetBox Shortlist page, you will be automatically provided with the configuration of the bookmarking sites widget, that can be previewed directly from the page. On the left position of the page, you will see a customization of your own widget, in this part, you will need to adjust the bookmarking sites widget by using your own blog preferences, not mine, in order to get the generated code from the widget itself.
Now in the "ShoutHome" and "URL to bookmark", enter your own blog address,(e.g., http://www.whatmakesblog.com). And then, in the "Title to Bookmark", put the title of your blog, say, Gaming Blog, Financial Blog, etc.
3. Press Get Widget
After finished editing the configuration of the bookmarking sites widget, now it's time to get the generated code from WidgetBox Shortlist widget. By pressing Get Widget, Widgetbox will automatically process your request and prompt you with the script code. After that, press copy and keep it to Notepad, later will be used again for the next step.
4. Log in to Blogger account
As usual as always, now head on first to Blogger.com and sign in to your account.
5. Go to Edit HTML
In the Dashboard, now press Layout/Design > Edit HTML.
6. Expand the widget Templates
Now, in order to place the Shortlist widget on the bottom position of article page/blog post, we must firstly expand the widget of our blog template. At the top of HTML box, now give a check mark to the small box called "Expand Widget Templates".
7. Find the Code
As i said on the step number 6 above, i am gonna show you how to place the widget on the bottom position of blog post on article page, therefore, we need to firstly locate the exact location of the bottom post area. Now find the code below (Ctrl + F).
Anyway, i am currently using a Minima template for a testing blog, so if you are using other template, my best suggestion for you is to find the footer part of the post in your blog template. The code that controls this part might have similar code with the one from Minima template.
<div class='post-footer'>
8. Paste the Script
Okay, after locating the code section on number 7 above, now paste the script code of widget before the code <div class='post-footer'>.
