Add Yahoo! Buzz button to your blog

As I said in the previous post, Yahoo Buzz can be your excellent traffic-maker if your story is interesting and get to Yahoo! homepage. The first step to get it is to put a Yahoo! Buzz button to your blog so that people can vote your entry up. Adding a Yahoo! Buzz button is not too complicated if you follow my steps below
Step 1. Choose your favorite button from Yahoo! Buzz that fitted well with your site design (large button with vote count – Square Button – is highly recommended), then click “Get Code”.
Step 2. If you have selected the Square Button the code will be like this
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://d.yimg.com/ds/badge2.js" badgetype="square">ARTICLEURL</script>
Step 3. Replace the ARTICLEURL with <data:post.url/>. After replaced, your code will look like this
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://d.yimg.com/ds/badge2.js" badgetype="square"><data:post.url/></script>
Step 4. Now go to your Blogger account
Step 5. Go to Layout -> Edit HTML

Step 6. The best place to display Yahoo! Buzz button is under the Post Title and on the right. Because of the variation of blogger templates on the web, I recommend you put Yahoo! Buzz code above the tag <data:post.body/>. We will add style to the button to make it float to the right. Yeah, more beautiful
Your template code will look something like this
<div style='float:right;padding:5px;'><script badgetype='square' src='http://d.yimg.com/ds/badge2.js' type='text/javascript'><data:post.url/></script></div>
<data:post.body/>
Of course, if you want it float to the left, it is fine. Change the code float:right; to float:left;
Step 7. Save your template, see your work and start buzzing up your posts. Hey, do not try to spam their page or you will be banned

Thanks for sharing, really useful!
Thank you for this!
A question… I’ve installed the Buzz button per your instructions, and buzzed one of my stories. But, it doesn’t seem to be showing the number. Is it maybe something I did wrong?
Maybe Yahoo have not updated your story yet. Hmmm …
dude-GOOD DAY
I TRIED,BUT THERE IS NO TEXT AS<data:post
visit my blog and said.but it shows o error.i cant display
Every template MUST have <data:post.body> tag. You should try again.
Are you using blogger.com template?
Also please check whether you are using its new blogger (XML based) template and not the old classic HTML template.
Wow, this is something new for me. Thank’s for your info.
It worked for my website too…
In this extent i have added Title, Summary and Category of the post too…
Here is the code:
yahooBuzzArticleHeadline = “”;
yahooBuzzArticleSummary = “”;
yahooBuzzArticleCategory = “Entertainment”;
yahooBuzzArticleType = “Video”;
yahooBuzzArticleId = window.location.href;
Thanks for sharing this code..
From what i have learned , if the story is not new and attractive ,you don’t get any traffic from Buzz and Digg and the back links has no value. Otherwise for now, just add a palin or related stuff.. LOL
Agree lol
Nice HAck….
Thanks For This Lovely Hack
I’m anxious to see how long it takes for them to catch up to sites like Digg. So far I’m not getting anything good out of Buzz. I’m sure that will change in time though … I hope
Nice blog….

Sincerely
