<script type='text/javascript'>
 (function($){
            $.fn.sharebox = function(){
                var element = this;

                var i = 10;
                var j = 0;
                $(element).find(&quot;li&quot;).each(function(){
                    $(this).css(&quot;z-index&quot;, i)
                    if (j&gt;0)
                        $(this).css(&quot;left&quot;, j * 24 + 100 + &quot;px&quot;);
                    i = i - 1;
                    j = j + 1;
                });
            }
        })(jQuery);
        $(document).ready(function(){
            $(&quot;#sharebox&quot;).sharebox();          
        });
    </script>

5. Finally find <data:post.body/> and right after it paste the next code:
