How to add social bookmarking buttons to WP and Blogger blogs (updated).

For WordPress Blogs

I have tried and tested several plugins like WP-Notable and “Share This“, but by far Sociable covers the largest number of social bookmarking sites and is the easiest to install. Hence if you’d notice, I’ve changed to this plugin.

Also notice that there is an outstanding role of buttons that does not seem to belong to the group under “Share and Enjoy”. Sociable produces “Share and Enjoy”. As bookmarking sites proliferate, I found myself adding more buttons manually. If there’s a little ‘techie-ness’ in you, you should be able to do this too once you understand the structure of the coding.

For your convenience I’ll just publish the codings for all the other bookmarking sites to date, starting with DropJack:

<a href="http://www.dropjack.com/submit.php?url=&lt;?php the_permalink(); ?&gt;&amp;title=&lt;?php the_title(); ?&gt;"><img src="http://www.dropjack.com/images/dj2.gif" alt="&lt;?php the_title(); ?&gt;" /></a>

<a href="http://www.backflip.com/add_page_pop.ihtml?opener=site&amp;url=&lt;?php the_permalink(); ?&gt;&amp;title=&lt;?php the_title(); ?&gt;"><img src="http://www.internetmasterycenter.com/blog/wp-content/plugins/sociable/images/backflip.gif" alt="&lt;?php the_title(); ?&gt;" /></a>

<a href="http://www.bibsonomy.org/ShowBookmarkEntry?url=&lt;?php the_permalink(); ?&gt;&amp;title=&lt;?php the_title(); ?&gt;"><img src="http://www.internetmasterycenter.com/blog/wp-content/plugins/sociable/images/bibsonomy.gif" alt="&lt;?php the_title(); ?&gt;" /></a>

<a href="#"><img src="http://www.diigo.com/images/ii_blue.gif" alt="diigo it" style="border: medium none" /></a>

<a href="http://faves.com/Authoring.aspx?u=&lt;?php the_permalink(); ?&gt;&amp;t=&lt;?php the_title(); ?&gt;" class="BlueDotPartner"><img src="http://faves.com/images/Faves-Icon_16x16.gif" style="border: medium none" /></a>

<a href="http://www.folkd.com/page/submit.html?url=&lt;?php the_permalink(); ?&gt;&amp;title=&lt;?php the_title(); ?&gt;"><img src="http://www.internetmasterycenter.com/blog/wp-content/plugins/sociable/images/folkd.gif" alt="&lt;?php the_title(); ?&gt;" /></a>

<a target="_blank" href="http://segnalo.com/post.html.php?url=&lt;?php the_permalink(); ?&gt;&amp;title=&lt;?php the_title(); ?&gt;"><img src="http://www.internetmasterycenter.com/blog/wp-content/plugins/sociable/images/segnalo.png" alt="&lt;?php the_title(); ?&gt;" /></a>

<a target="_blank" href="http://www.gifttagging.com/gift/add?url=&lt;?php the_permalink(); ?&gt;&amp;title=&lt;?php the_title(); ?&gt;"><img src="http://www.internetmasterycenter.com/blog/wp-content/plugins/sociable/images/gifttagging.png" alt="&lt;?php the_title(); ?&gt;" /></a>

I have no idea how your WP pages are formatted, but if you have a preferred position to place these buttons I trust that you’ll figure it out soon. Only 3 files from your WP template needs to be edited: index.php, archive.php and single.php. To give you a clue based on my own files:

1) index.php: the coding is placed between </div> and <p class="postmetadata">Posted in  |   </p>

2) archive.php: the coding is placed between </div> and '<p><strong>Pages:</strong> ', 'after' =&gt; '</p>', 'next_or_number' =&gt; 'number')); ?&gt;

3) single.php: the coding is placed between &lt;?php the_content('<p class="serif">Read the rest of this entry &raquo;</p>'); ?&gt; and '<p><strong>Pages:</strong> ', 'after' =&gt; '</p>', 'next_or_number' =&gt; 'number')); ?&gt;

Reload the files in the template directory. Hopefully it should work.

For Blogger Blogs

Check out YOUR self-development blog as an example. Remember to check the “Expand Widget Templates” box. Look for this paragraph of code:

<p class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-2'>
      <span class='post-labels'>
        <b>

          <b>
            <a rel='tag'></a><b>,</b>
          </b>
        </b>
      </span>
      </p>

Paste the following coding right after it:

<!--Bookmark: -->

<a title='DiggIt!'><img alt='DiggIt' border='0'></a>
