I'm not able to officially participate in Natasha's (Maw Books Blog) fantastic Bloggiesta!, but since I've had blog maintenance and catching up on book reviews on the brain for awhile now, I'm unofficially participating.
Have you ever noticed that some bloggers have a nice little button at the end of each post to make it easy for readers to bookmark or share that post? Maybe I'm a little slow, but I noticed this the other day and I WANTED ONE TOO! I come across many blogger book reviews that I'd like to save, so I add them to my Delicious account making it easy to find and return to those reviews. Doing this is so much easier when a blogger includes a social bookmarking button to the end of each post. Of course, figuring out how to add this button to my blog posts was a little bit of a challenge.
I looked over all of the Blogger settings and found nothing which would allow me to "checkmark a box" and add this feature. That would have been too easy. Hmmmphh. My next step was to Google this task and I quickly came up with an easy-peasy way to do just what I wanted. Take a look at the end of this post and notice the nifty new "Share" button. If you want to add a button to your posts, go to AddThis and find out how!
Oooh, I like it! I think I'll add one myself once I have a bit more free time.
ReplyDeleteAnd it looks fantastic where you have it! I have disliked where mine is, so will need to rethink location. Great job!
ReplyDeleteOh thanks for posting this! Once I figure out where the relevant code is I am definitely going to add this to my blog posts.
ReplyDeleteI might have to play around with this one. Very simple and I like that--sometimes people have waaaaay too many buttons and choices at the bottoms of their posts. Thanks for sharing, Terri!
ReplyDeleteHi Terri! This is so impressive! Is there any way you can add the 'share' button to the beautiful review you did on my book, 'The Road From La Cueva'?
ReplyDeleteSo weird--I tried this and it didn't work for me! It's almost like the html didn't stick. Did you have troubles when trying to install it?
ReplyDeleteTrish: I did have a few problems with this and emailed you since my reply was too long to post in comments. Let me know if my response helped or not; I'm curious to know what the problem is/was.
ReplyDeleteOthers having trouble: I emailed my response to Trish since it was a bit lengthy. If anyone else is having this problem, I'd be happy to email my response to you as well.
