Social Bookmarking Button

By Ken Xu on Jul 8, 2007 in Blogging, Wordpress

I’m going to show you how to modify your Wordpress blog with my “Social bookmarking Button“.

Because I’m still learning to create a plugin for this buttons, I will let you know how to do it manual first. If you have a decent skill on creating plugin and willing to help me, please let me know! :)

Ok, to apply my “Social bookmarking Button” into your single post blog, please follow these easy steps:

  • Download the Social Bookmark Button files here
  • There are 2 files inside the zip folder. first one is a folder named “socialbookmarkbutton” and the other is a text file named “code”
  • Extract it and upload the “socialbookmarkbutton” folder to your template’s image folder in your web server. The location is: wp-contents => themes => [your template folder] => images
  • Open your Wordpress admin panel and go to your Theme Editor under Presentation Tab.

  • Click on the file “single post” or “single.php” to edit your single post page
  • Copy the entire code from the text files which you extract just now.
  • For a normal template, Paste the code you in just below the line: <?php the_content('Read the rest of this entry »'); ?> (Every template will have a different code, but the <?php the_content Will stay the same).
  • Click Update File » to save your changes. View any blog item’s individual archive page (the permalink page) to see the result.
  • Done! :)

I know it’s hard for you to edit it manually. I’m trying to do some research for creating plugin. And I will let you know when I’ve successfully create the plugin! :)

I hope you will like it. Want to reward my Hard work? Oh, That’s so nice of you! Just put a link back to this post. That’s more that enough for me! :) No need to donate through paypal or something. I create this “will-be-a-plugin plugin” for fun and free of charge! :)

If you are generous enough, please spread this plugin by digg or stumbleupon (will-be-a-plugin). I will reward everybody who have help me with a linkback to your blog when this script successfully transform into a plugin! :)

If there is any thing wrong with my code, please don’t hesitate to contact me!

See you around again.
