The Complete Animated Sexy Social Bookmarks V3 For Blogger

The Sexy Bookmarks range, so called as the very first gadget had the 'Sharing Is Sexy' message is probably the most eye catching Social Sharing Widget available.On Spice Up Your Blog i have covered a few versions and even used the Arrow Messages to create my own unique versions.However in this post i have the complete sexy bookmarks range with the awesome accordion auto hide and all 8 arrow messages.

With the accordion effect one row of icons are visible and on hover the page drops to display 48 more sharing options, that's 56 in total.The icons themselves are sprites with a pop up effect, all making for a totally animated look using jQuery.Best of all by changing just one line in the code you can use any of the 8 messages.The message and icons are all transparent so work on any background color.We will be adding the sexy bookmarks gadget directly below all the posts on your blog.

Along with the steps I have a complete video tutorial walking you through the steps as I add the sharing buttons to a test blog.

Updated : 03/03/2014.

I have 2 demos showing the sexy bookmarks in action, one on a light background and one on a dark background.The demo has all 8 gadgets make sure to hover over the icons to see the drop down for the other icons.

Demo 1 - Light Background Sexy Bookmarks Demo

Demo 2 - Dark Background Sexy Bookmarks Demo
