How to display a fixed sharing bar when a user scroll to post in Blogger using jQuery plugin

Scrolling events can be customized by jQuery .scroll() function, but believe me Waypoint is a jQuery plugin that gives you way more better functionality to execute function when scroll to specific element. Well in short I am going to add a sharing bar which will not be displayed on home page as well as on post pages until your scroll to post. Have a look how it is possible to make it.

Go to Template > Edit HTML
Make sure you have jQuery added.
Find <body>
Paste the following code just below it

<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == "item"'>
<div class="share-buttons">
<div class="facebook">
<div class="fb-share-button" expr:data-href="data:post.url" data-type="button_count"></div>
</div>
<div class="twitter">
<a class="twitter-share-button" expr:data-url="data:post.url" href="https://twitter.com/share">Tweet</a>
</div>
<div class='google'>
<div class="g-plusone" expr:data-href="data:post.url"></div>
</div>
</div>
</b:if>
<script>!function(d,s,id){var js,fjs=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0],p=/^http:/.test(d.location)?'http':'https';if(!d.getElementById(id)){js=d.createElement(s);js.id=id;js.src=p+'://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js';fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js,fjs);}}(document, 'script', 'twitter-wjs');</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
(function() {
var po = document.createElement('script'); po.type = 'text/javascript'; po.async = true;
po.src = 'https://apis.google.com/js/platform.js';
var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(po, s);
})();
</script>
<div id="fb-root"></div>
<script>(function(d, s, id) {
var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];
if (d.getElementById(id)) return;
js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;
js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/en_US/sdk.js#xfbml=1&version=v2.0";
fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);
}(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));</script>

Find </head> and paste the following code just above it.

<script src='http://imakewebthings.com/jquery-waypoints/waypoints.js' type='text/javascript'></script>
<script>
$(function () {
$('.blog-posts').waypoint(function (direction) {
if (direction === "down") {
$('.share-buttons').fadeIn();
} else if (direction === 'up') {
$('.share-buttons').fadeOut();
}
});
});
</script>

Find //]]></b:skin> and paste the following code just above it.

.share-buttons{
position:fixed;
display:none;
z-index:10;
left:0;
top:0;
width:100%;
background:#eee;
border-bottom:3px solid #ddd;
}
.share-buttons>div{
min-width:200px;
padding:25px 0 25px 30px;
float:left;
border-right:1px solid #ddd;
}

Save your template and see the effect. If something goes wrong comment below.
