Using AddThis

[dfsfixings]

Right so i'd like to use addthis to potentially boost traffic through our website a bit but everytime i add the code it gives to the body tag the website messes up below where i put it and the bar doesnt show up. The code is:

<!-- AddThis Button BEGIN -->
<div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_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>
<a class="addthis_counter addthis_bubble_style"></a>
</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-50bdb5b661cb6f13"></script>
<!-- AddThis Button END -->

Any help is much appreciated. Is it something to do with where i put the script part?

The code has to go where you want it to display. It shouldn't be anywhere near the body tag.

Erm.. what i was actually saying is that no matter where i add the code from addthis it doesnt work and ruins all the code from there onwards. Might just be somet im doing?

If you only wantit on one page you could add your code to a text only fragment.
If you need to add it to a layout then you will probably need to upload it to your site before you can see the changes.
