Today I am going to show how you can add Metro Style Social Icons with Hover Effect to your blogger blog. I have seen this widget many a times in different WordPress blogs so I thought of converting it for blogger. This widget has a very simple working. On hover the opacity of the icon changes and makes is more translucent.

This widget can help your blog gain more social media optimized audience. The elegant look of this widget can make many people click it.
