To expand the style, click on the small arrow on the left of <b:skin>...</b:skin> (screenshot 1), then click anywhere inside the code area to search (using CTRL + F) for the ]]></b:skin> tag (screenshot 2) and add this code just above it:
/* Social icons for Blogger

Step 3. Now search for this line
<b:section class='header' id='header' maxwidgets='1' showaddelement='no'>
Step 4. And just above it, add this code:
<div class='social-media-icons' id='social-icons'>
<ul>
<li class='media_icon'><a href='http://facebook.com/username'><img border='0' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGVj6zWCkAWDbDGJusvJGM_Rvblczk6BCon1TlYBVRHMb-XfLudJ6ZOAzCq3VX1yD6a-ri2CIKhml-TcexXfNJ34aDtqecQ7U31r7XHDXJ5Gv8JTL0A4YIKO2H3Ma9JPUCehkZSz0JrKg/s1600/Facebook.png'/></a></li>
<li class='media_icon'><a href='http://twitter.com/#!/username'><img border='0' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVOEYs8bW9YgOWFDduO99khWfgjIe5CRSso8JizAS4_DX2vLtyKzyumRKJj6TcXN-ieMbP6LFVxRYT8LoxO4V9CORYWTY9Jfi0I5y3M73-OKgNlYT3QuuG2GFQlgTGJId1caG0XzfU0N0/s1600/Twitter.png'/></a></li>
<li class='media_icon'><a href='https://plus.google.com/XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX/about'><img border='0' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFIVf9XGZqujNb-Rfkj0xq_8OrbWE7AEGBlVmNrkIP3ciHlpc4-Hipu5HZ2hXundAt96WfmLOk5t_50-3UJihQI9ZuvHp9pe3CCK12rW_iLwAR-hn0XMPuJC7ToCkZzlKAN9h4Q0W631s/s1600/googleplus.png'/></a></li>
<li class='media_icon'><a href='http://name-of-your-blog.com/feeds/posts/default'><img border='0' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlqrJGbHdDfSJETbj5uRA2vriU0AN-ZJtZ9cgTds0k0tzPeohkkpbzS8rn-Ob05zAaf2UsxJeL1scQwb7EYMOhSwsIvEeu5XuA5GIweQHjcxBA_D-ypWFbR6941W04AoUqf9-X7XpEYWc/s1600/RSS.png'/></a></li>
</ul></div>
Customization
- Change what's in red with your usernames and id: the first is your Facebook username, the second is that of Twitter, in the third you should change the X by the ID of your Google+ profile and in the fourth you will put the name of your blog.
- To change the icons, just replace the urls in blue with the ones of your images.
- You can add more icons if you want, you just have to add before </ul></div> a line like this for each extra icon you want:
<li class='media_icon'><a href='Link URL'><img border='0' src='Image URL'/></a></li>
Step 5. Finally, Save the Template to apply the changes.
The effect is done with CSS3, so this effect will not work in older browsers.
