    Thanks! I like the pop-up buttons that you have at the bottom of your posts. How did you do that? Check out the Bloogle AdSense Blog and let me know if I could embed the pop-up there.

    This is actually because of the power of wordpress to support plugins. I have used the sexy bookmarking plugin. They look nice & have so many options.

    If you can join our forums http://inforids.com/forums/ & we will try to go for a Blogger version for the same.
