Hi, can anyone help me with my little problem?

my social bar turns up at the very top of my sidebar, and not at the top of the whole page?

any ideas?

thanks

@Sueblimely, I agree, the social bar is easily overlooked. I am using it here to see how it performs.

My subscribers are pretty well educated (by me) so it is effective on this site.

However on a blog that is mainstream and not focused on Google Friend Connect and Google Social Networking I would not be so bold.

Good point Sue.

I currently have the social bar at the very top of my site – mainly because I wanted readers to see it after I had talked about it. I am moving it to the bottom so that it is not so intrusive. I do prefer the sidebar widget for its avatars and more intuitive use but it is slow to load.

I have a toolbar always open at the bottom of my browser window and often the find bar sits there too. This hides the social bar or anything else that is at the very bottom of a webpage. I am going to add some padding (blank paragraphs would do too) to the bottom of my template so that the bar is visible to everyone. You may like to do this too

Thanks Chris,
You always give me things to talk about at my blogging class. Awesome.
Well my only problem is not people can see that I hardly have any friends so far.
Being social just takes too much time. Hey I will see about adding this any way.

I just learned about Google Friend Connect from http://thesocialmedia source.com. Thanks for the great article on it to help me better understand the purpose of using it.
