Looking good Kyle. Easy to read is the way forward so nice choice of white space usage.

Thumbs up.

Josh, Not using any plugin, I prefer not to use the WordPress plugins and just develop my own. The main reason why I avoided any social bookmarking plugins is because most of them relied on JavaScript to pull the document URL and title, and it's really slow. Instead, I just put the code straight into the template and used some PHP to pull the titles and URLs. Here's the code:

<?php

// Grab post title and sanitize

$social_title = urlencode($post->post_title);

 

// Grab post URL and sanitize it

$social_url = urlencode($post->guid);

?>

<p class="social">

  <a href="http://digg.com/submit?phase=2&url=<?=$social_url? rel="nofollow" rel="nofollow">" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="Digg This!"><img src="/images/social/digg.png" alt="Digg This!" height="16" width="16" /></a>

  <a href="http://www.stumbleupon.com/submit?url=<?=$social_url? rel="nofollow" rel="nofollow">&title=<?=$social_title?>" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="Stumble It!"><img src="/images/social/stumble.png" alt="Stumble It!" height="16" width="16" /></a>

  <a href="http://myweb.yahoo.com/myresults/bookmarklet?t=<?=$social_title? rel="nofollow" rel="nofollow">&u=<?=$social_url?>&ei=UTF" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="Add to Yahoo! My Web"><img src="/images/social/yahoo.png" alt="Add to Yahoo! My Web" height="16" width="16" /></a>

As for where you would put this, you need to add this to your single.php template, just after the <h2> tags where the title goes. You can also edit the index.php template and do the same thing, right after the title. Hope this helps.

@ Divspace
This is a random question not having to do with this post, but are you using the “social bookmarks” plugin for wordpress? and if you are how do you adjust the positioning of it? when i activate it it automatically shows up about my comments template in single posts and i don’t know which file to edit to put it underneath my titles like on your site.

Thanks, David. I’ve been a little slow releasing this unfortunately. I had to finish up a feed manager script, which I’ll definately be releasing, and, of course, Thanksgiving kept me busy with all the cooking. I’m amped to get the launch going, I’ve been neglecting articles because of it so I’ll be happy to get it out finally!

Nice and clear. I like the top navigation of popular, today, yesterday… links it is a good idea of organising the site. I’m looking forward! :)
