How to Add a LinkedIn Icon to Blogspot
A LinkedIn button allows your readers to share pertinent industry news and information with their professional networks. The LinkedIn developers have created an application that allows you to create a share button for your blog or website. You can choose to show how many times the content has been shared or you can choose a simple button with no count. The Blogger, or Blogspot, blogging platform uses gadgets to add buttons, such as the LinkedIn share button, to your blog.
