That’s quite a lot, isn’t it! :D {drool}

If you click any of the links above, you will be able to bookmark this post. Some of the services are defunct though!

Step-by-step instructions:

  1. Choose which services you need
  2. Choose “Text Links”, instead of drop-down menus, as wordpress.com does not allow javascript, necessary for drop-downs to work.
  3. Choose code type – choose “For a static page”, not “Blog specific”. (Static Page - Creates one set of links for one single page.
    Blog Specific – These links tie directly into WordPress, Blogger, MovableType or Textpattern blogs and will re-generate for every post.)
  4. Enter url and title of your blog post
  5. Choose seperators (this will help you configure whether you want the icons one under the other or in a row and if in a row how much space should be between each link)
  6. Copy the whole code
  7. Paste under your blog post
  8. Save, view and enjoy!

It is perfect if you prefer to have text links instead of images. For example, in my future art blog, I will probably use the text links.

Further Readings

You can get the same thing done and in the same process by using ifeedreaders also.

***

What if you want to have the visual icons?

In case you crave for the icons – gosh, don’t they just look beautiful? – then you will have to work a bit more. You will need to carefully select the appropriate code and link it to the representative icon. Or better still, try this – you can choose from as many as 50 social bookmarking options.

Alternately, if you are satisfied with a select few services (eleven in total and very good ones at that!) try this method . It’s basically a two-click process and very easy!

I find this method a lot easier than using chicklet creators. ;)

hello aceman! thanks for stopping by! :D

and thanks for sharing! that thing is pretty neat! however creating chicklets isn’t hard and it probably looks like more work – if you count the steps – than it actually is! ;) perfect if the user wants just text links.

another thing is, that script could use more options, i say! as one user pointed out, netscape is lacking. having many options is best, so the user can choose to her/his heart’s content!

@aceman,
you know, i double-checked your recommended script. can’t say i like the idea that it is problematic if the blogger edits the timestamp tool :(

thanks ish for thanking me! ahem, i have to thank you too, you know! it was your post that impelled me to set on this hunt! and since i use the timestamp edit tool, that method is not suitable for me :(

i guess there’s something for everyone, eh!

check out http://saranyan.wordpress.com/blogging-resources/
I have created a windows executable that automatically generates the HTML code that can be appended to the posts to include social bookmarking options.
I think this will help wordpress.com bloggers.
