Applying "Addthis" Share Buttons
-
I’m trying to embed the following code into the CSS field:
<!– AddThis Button BEGIN –>
<div class=”addthis_toolbox addthis_floating_style addthis_32x32_style” style=”left:50px;top:50px;”>
</div>
<script type=”text/javascript”>var addthis_config = {“data_track_addressbar”:true};</script>
<script type=”text/javascript” src=”//s7.addthis.com/js/300/addthis_widget.js#pubid=ra-527fa9586576dfd2″></script>
<!– AddThis Button END –>Unfortunately, the code, when I hit “Save” after pasting it reverts to
var addthis_config = {ra-530d45327cc6c7e1:true};
and the original disappears leaving with me just this.Am I capable of adding “Addthis” buttons to further my outside analytics?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

I believe I failed to mention that the buttons do not show up (suppose to show up on the left hand side of the site after pasting the code and saving.

Hi there, that code you reference contains javascript, and javascript is not allowed at this time on WordPress.com.
Also, you cannot add code to the CSS. CSS is a styling document used by the browsers to position and style the elements of a web page.
WordPress offers a nice compliment of sharing buttons which you can read more about in this support document, and even allows for adding your own services as well.
We also offer a facebook like box widget which can be added to your sidebar by going to Appearance > Widgets in your dashboard and then dragging it into your sidebar and then configuring it.
For adding social media buttons/links to your sidebar, you can insert them into a text widget in your sidebar. The following two links will get you started with that.
