If you have any query then just leave a comment, i would love to help you.
Updated on July 28 2010: Added Google Buzz counter button code.
Ideally I'm hoping it will appear where my current partially working Retweet button resides ie at the bottom of each post!
Note: Don't include <data:post.body/>, because it is the code which directs widget to include in the beginning of post body.
let me know in case you need more help :)
