After adding, save the widget and template.
In case the widget is not working properly make sure you have JQuery library added in your blog.
You may also add any other icon you want instead of the Rocket. What you can do is go to http://www.flaticon.com/ (from where the rocket icon has been taken). You can click on the your desired icon, extract its Base 64 code and replace it with the code starting with img in the widget (which has been marked as red for your convinience)
Moreover you can adjust its positioning by playing with the margin CSS code. I will add detailed instructions once I am free.
You are done now ;)
