Alex King, one of the leading WordPress developers, has a great social-web plugin called Share This. You may know Alex from your blogroll if you never deleted the links that get pre-installed with every copy of WordPress (consequently, he is the #1 Alex in Google search results).
Share This saves you from cluttering your site with eight million links to social bookmarking sites, and lets you follow each post with a single icon. Users can click this icon to see a multitude of social bookmarking options:
You can see it on Geektronica.com or on Alex’s blog.
Some install notes:
- Your theme needs to use the wp_footer(); function
- You may need to adjust the CSS in the plugin file to get the colors to look right on your site
- You will need to upload the Prototype.js JavaScript library to get it to work. This is included with the download, and goes in /wp-includes/js.
