<xsl:output method=”text” omit-xml-declaration=”yes”/>
<xsl:template match=”/Footer”>
<![CDATA[
<!– AddThis Bookmark Button BEGIN –>
<script type=”text/javascript”>
addthis_url    = location.href;
addthis_title  = document.title;
addthis_pub    = ‘YOURLOGINNAMEHERE’;
</script><script type=”text/javascript” src=”http://s7.addthis.com/js/addthis_widget.php?v=12” ></script>
<!– AddThis Bookmark Button END –>
]]>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
7. Go to your Microsoft OfficeLive webpage where you want your bookmark or share this button and click on where on the page you would like it. (At the top of the page is recommended.)
8. Go to site designer on Officelive webpage and hit insert custom footer.
9. Delete the code that is in the box and replace it with the code above. Remember to insert your login name from addthis website where it says “YOURLOGINNAMEHERE”that is in the code above.
10. Repeat steps 7-9 for each webpage that you want your bookmark button to be on your officelive website.
When you are editing your officelive or 365 website, you will not see the bookmark button. You will only see a empty blue box. This is okay because when you view your site, you and others will see and be able to use the share or bookmark button. If for any reason the steps above didn’t work for you, you can contact me and I will help you place a bookmark button on your website and web pages.
