• Go to Layout
• Add a gadget
• Select HTML/Java Script
• On Configure Script pop up window
• Copy and paste the following code

 

<!-- AddThis Button BEGIN -->

<div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style addthis_32x32_style">

<a class="addthis_button_preferred_1"></a>

<a class="addthis_button_preferred_2"></a>

<a class="addthis_button_preferred_3"></a>

<a class="addthis_button_preferred_4"></a>

<a class="addthis_button_compact"></a>

</div>

<script type="text/javascript" src="

<a class="addthis_button_tweet"></a>
<a class="addthis_button_pinterest_pinit"></a>
<a class="addthis_counter addthis_pill_style"></a>
</div>
<script type="text/javascript">var addthis_config = {"data_track_addressbar":true};</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://s7.addthis.com/js/250/addthis_widget.js#pubid=ra-504b3a8a674bf05b"></script>
