Add Social Bookmarking Buttons To Blogger Blog

by Matt
Social bookmarking is a powerful tool. It allows your users to save links on your site to their page on their social bookmarking site, then others are able to see what links they have saved, and perhaps visit them, Then perhaps they will also add that page or or site to their social bookmarking account.

Some of the most popular social bookmarking sites are Blogmarks, Del.icio.us, Digg, Furl, Google, netvouz, Newsvine, Reddit, Spurl and Technorati..
There are many more, But there are my favorites.

If you look under each of my posts you should see little icons for each of these social bookmarks services. When a user clicks the icon they are able to save that post to the social bookmarking service of their choice..

The social bookmarking button code i am posting will work with blogger straight away, The same code can be used for other blogs but will need to have the appropriate sections changed accordingly..

You will have to figure out where to copy this to in your blogger template based on what template you used, But it should go somewhere under your post, I would recommend directly under the <$BlogItemBody$> tag and will look like this
