Installing the Floating Vertical Bar

Make sharing easy on your page by installing the floating vertical bar. Be sure to grab the Toolbox code and update the AddThis script file with your username (if you want analytics).

HTML

This is the HTML portion of the code. Be cautious about nesting it inside other elements as it may not display correctly or in the right position on your pages.

<div class="addthis_bar addthis_bar_vertical addthis_bar_large" style="top:50px;left:50px;">
    <div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style">

Some options to change the style of the Floating Vertical Bar. You can change the CSS class, addthis_bar_large, shown in the first div element, with one of the options below.

Name	Description	View
`addthis_bar_large`	Shows the larger styled share counters	view code
`addthis_bar_medium`	Shows the medium sized (32x32) share icons vertically	view code
`addthis_bar_small`	Shows the smaller sized (16x16) share icons vertically	view code

Javascript

Here's the javascript code that you'll need to add to your webpage. Be sure to add your PROFILE ID for analytics.

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://s7.addthis.com/js/300/addthis_widget.js#pubid=[YOUR PROFILE ID HERE]"></script>

Important: Be sure to replace [YOUR PROFILE ID HERE] with your Profile ID (no brackets needed!) which you can find in your AddThis Profile Settings. Otherwise, AddThis will not be able to provide you analytics for your sharing tool. If you have not already registered for AddThis, you can create an account to get your own Profile ID.
