Social bookmarking sites needs no introduction, they are always important to share and save your bookmarks. We keep on discovering lots of new sites daily and social bookmarks helps us to keep track of all the sites we come across. The most common and frequently used ones are;
- Stumble Upon
- Digg
- Technorati
- Del.icio.us
Have a look at the new social bookmarks I have implemented in my blog.
Steps to add this bookmarks to your blog posts;
- Download the file Social Bookmarks.
- Go to your themes images folder [wp-content->Themes->your theme->images]. Unzip the files in this folder. This will create folder named “SocialBookmarks” inside images folder.
- Download the text file for bookmarks code.
- Open your theme editor and select single.php file. Copy the code from the text file and paste it in the location where you want to show the icons, ideally just above the comments section.
- You can add suitable header like “Share this post” just above this code, based on your CSS.
- Save the file and you are done with Social bookmarks.
NB: The icon size is currently 64 X 64 pixels, If you need it in smaller sizes, please drop a comment. If you face any problem installing the code, please do contact me.

My theme doesnt have single.php file
@Vaibhav,
Every theme has single.php, may be your theme has a different name for it. It basically means the page which displays your full story of a post.
how can i use these buttons for my blog at blogger?
@Kashav,
You may need to add this code where you need to show these icons. It has been long since I shifted from blogger, so I don’t remember the code exactly.
Great Social Bookmarks!
Here is a tip to add for your code. I wanted to mouseover the images and have text show up to say what they are. (For those that haven’t quite memorized everyone’s logo.) An easy way to do this is to add TITLE=”Name” in each img src. It works great. I have it running on my sister’s blog http://www.conniebensen.com
i.e.
&title=”>/images/SocialBookmarks/stumble.gif” border=”0″ alt=”Stumble” TITLE=”Stumbleupon”/>

This is exactly what I was looking for, few days back. These icons give a great web2.0ish look. Stumbleupon’s logo is the best. Thanks a lot.

Those icons like really great, very clean, crisp and Web 2.0-like. I’ve only just implemented the AddThis bookmarking system onmy site to replace Sociable – my current direction is that of keeping my post apges as minimal as possible, but when I next decide to change, I may have to look at these.
Cheers!
