How to add social bookmarks for every blog post.

January 22nd, 2007 by User ImageNelson Tan

By now you should have observed a series of colourful social bookmarking buttons below each post. They allow your readers to easily submit you to many different social bookmarking and networking sites.

Get your WP-Notable plugin for WordPress and installation instructions.

The one thing that will stump all but the most hardcore of bloggers is what is meant by the “loop area” (installation instruction no. 5). Until now, me neither. All you need to do is:

1) open index.php, archive.php and single.php of your WP template with your HTML editor,
2) search for the word ‘postmetadata’. You should find only one occurrence of this word in each file,
3) copy-and-paste the WP-Notable code just above the statement where ‘postmetadata’ appears,
4) save your 3 PHP files and upload them in your WP template directory.

Refresh your blog and the icons must appear below every post now.

The best instructions we can find for adding social bookmarking buttons in Blogger blogs are right here.
