Thanks for the tutorial! Worked like a charm. only problem is that all of the flare bars have the same "numbers" when on the main home page of my blog. When you click individual posts, then it gives the correct numbers. not sure if i didn't something wrong.
ReplyDeleteyou did everything perfect, here is the tweak, find the code in your template and put this line of code before your code.
Delete[b:if cond='data:blog.pageType != "item"']
your widget code
[/b:if]
replace [] with <>
Thanks for your feedback, I hope this will work :)

"Specify a custom CSS selector to limit where Flare appears. For example, to limit to post pages on many websites use: body.single-post .entry-content."
ReplyDeleteNoted above from Flare - what would be the CSS to make these ONLY show on my posts pages, not the main hub? Thanks in Advance!

Wow..Awesome widget already working on it for my blog for downloading free movies..Thinking that this will give it a sharing boost. http://www.tinynhd.com
ReplyDeleteGreat widget! However, why are the buttons always arranged in alphabetical order? Even if I edit and rearrange them, the change is not reflected on my website.
ReplyDeleteNicely explained, i made it, but yet not showing on live! Flare page shows me tags, but not visible on my webpage @ www.culturenheritage.com, kindly do suggest steps to overcome.
ReplyDeleteI tried installing this yesterday but I can't get it to show up on the side of my post - it only shows up at the top and even then people can't click on most of the buttons. Why is that? Thanks.
