Add Easy Bookmark Buttons to Wordpress Blog

Delicious Button
I've just added some nice-looking bookmarklet buttons to the sidebar. These will help my readers to easily bookmark my blog on their favorite social bookmarking site or RSS feed reader.

Easy social bookmarking is basic SEO and widely considered a must in these web2.0 days.

The aim, of course, is to increase user loyalty, blog publicity, and consequently traffic.

This is how to add social bookmarking buttons on your Wordpress blog:

First, see my post on publishing your feed on FeedBurner - you can get most of these buttons from their site. Additionally, visit Blifaloo.com for the additional code and button images for the del.icio.us, Spurl and Furl buttons.

This is what the code will look like. Just put it in an appropriate position in your sidebar.php file. As always, you can take a look at my up-to-date sidebar.php code to see how the code should be implemented. Just don't copy-paste this code as is - you'll need to customize the links and images to correspond to your own blog URL and titles.
