"Add This" bookmarking button with drop-down menu

Got an email from David of New "Add This" bookmarking widget works on Blogger. He alerted me to the fact that "Add This" now has a new version of their very convenient bookmarking widget which has the new cool feature of showing a drop-down menu. "Add This" site says a new version for Blogger and TypePad will be coming soon, implying currently the script they provide would not yet work for Blogger. David however said with a little modification the new cool "Add This" script, it can be made to work in Blogger.

I tested this in Natural Remedies and found that it works. Go to this blog and hover your mouse over the "Add This" bookmarking button and observe.

I think the easiest way to explain is to give you the original script given by "Add This" which I will put in the scroll box below:

<!-- AddThis Bookmark Button BEGIN -->
<script type="text/javascript">
addthis_url = location.href;
addthis_title = document.title;
addthis_pub = 'enviroman';
</script><script type="text/javascript" src="http://s7.addthis.com/js/addthis_widget.php?v=12" ></script>
<!-- AddThis Bookmark Button END -->


Here is the edited script with the addition colored red. You will only see one red addition in the scroll box. You will have to scroll down to see the other:

<div>
<!-- AddThis Bookmark Button BEGIN -->
<script type="text/javascript">
addthis_url = location.href;
addthis_title = document.title;
addthis_pub = 'enviroman';
</script><script type="text/javascript" src="http://s7.addthis.com/js/addthis_widget.php?v=12" ></script>
<!-- AddThis Bookmark Button END -->
</div class='post-footer>


Also, note that it has the line:

addthis_pub = 'enviroman';

which identifies my account with this "Add This" bookmarking widget. You cannot use the script above directly. You will have to go to Add This site, sign up for your own account, get your own script, and if you want to get it to work straight away with Blogger, just add the codes colored red above.
