F.A.Q :-
1. I FOUND THE TAG THREE TIMES?
If you found the <data:post.body/> three times, then you might using the Auto readmore hack,
Solution:
Search for below two lines
<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == "item"'>
<data:post.body/>
Place the Widget code in between the two tags.
2. HOW TO CHANGE THE BACKGROUND COLOR OF HORIZONTAL BAR?
You can change the background color of Horizontal bar.
Solution:
In the Second step (The Social Scripts), search for
background:#FFFFFF;
and change the #FFFFFF with your own Hex Color.
