7. Click on save template button.
8. You are done!

Customization:

1. Replace wildtricksblog with your twitter username.
2. By default this gadget will float on left side, if you want it to right side then change left to right from the red line in the code. You can even change its background color from there itself.

Note: If you feel that facebook like button is not working then add below code just after <body>

<div id="fb-root"></div>
<script>(function(d, s, id) {
  var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];
  if (d.getElementById(id)) return;
  js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;
  js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js#xfbml=1";
  fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);
}(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));</script>
