<!--orkut share starts here-->
<script src='http://www.google.com/jsapi' type='text/javascript'/>
<script type='text/javascript'>
google.load(&#39;orkut.share&#39;, &#39;1&#39;);
google.setOnLoadCallback(function() {
var params = {};
params[google.orkut.share.Field.TITLE] = &#39;<data:blog.pageName/>&#39;;
params[google.orkut.share.Field.DESTINATION_URL] = &#39;<data:blog.url/>&#39;;
var connection = new google.orkut.share.Connection(params);
document.getElementById(&#39;orkut-share&#39;).onclick =
function(e) { connection.send(&#39;orkut.com&#39;, {}); };
}, true);
</script>
<!--orkut share end-->

Now search for the <div class='post-header-line-1'> tag in your template and add the below code after this tag :

<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == "item"'>
<span id="orkut-share" style="cursor:pointer; border:1px solid black">
<img src="http://code.google.com/apis/orkut/docs/images/share.gif"/>
</span>
</b:if>

If you dont find <div class='post-header-line-1'> then search for <data:post.body/> and paste the above code below this tag.

That’s all. Save your template and see the changes. If you face any problems please do add comments.
