How do i put a bookmarking toolbox in my blog ?

Hi guys,

I have my blog at wordress ( http://marketingoverinternet.wordpress.com)

I want to put a toolbar wherein users will have an option to bookmark on digg,stumble,del.icq.us etc ...
How do i do it, does wordpress have an easy to put option ?

 

Hi evenues,

You have two options to do that:

1. If you have some PHP knowledge, you can have it hard-coded inside Wordpress (I did that in my blog!. Check the Digg button at the bottom of each post.)
2. Use a WP plug-in to handle that. Bookmarkify might do the trick for you.

Hope that helps

 

I got your point about uploading the lugin, but I dont even see "Plugin" option in my wordpress account

 

You're right: WordPress.com blogs don't have a Plug-ins tab so you can't make use of them. That's why you can't see it.

Seeing that none of my suggestions apply to you, here are a couple more:

1. Manually insert your bookmarking script into every post (I know, it's a pain in the ...)
2. Use Widgets. I believe that Wordpress.com will allow you to add them into your sidebar by using them.

P.S.: just in case you were wondering, Wordpress.com won't allow the use of plug-ins due to "security reasons" (that's what they said on their Support forum)

 

sorry for interrupting
i'm already using some bookmarking plugins in my blog but it's resource hog and it affects the time to load my blog..
i saw your site and liked the digg option..
could you please explain how to do that...
i would be grateful to you if you do so...

 

Sure

Well I'll assume you have some basic knowledge of PHP. You'll have to edit your theme in order to display the Digg button as you've seen on my blog:

- Edit your theme's Main Page Template section. Find this:

<div class="entry">
	<?php the_content('Read more &raquo;'); ?>
</div>

PHP:

- Replace it with this:

<div class="entry">
	<?php the_content('Read more &raquo;'); ?>

	<p class="digg_this">
		<script type="text/javascript">
		digg_url = "<?php the_permalink() ?>";
		digg_bgcolor = "#ffffff";
		digg_skin = "compact";
		digg_window = "new";
		</script>
		<script type="text/javascript" src="http://digg.com/tools/diggthis.js"></script>
	</p>
</div>

PHP:

... and that's it Every new post will show the Digg button. You might want to give it some css styling so you'll have to edit the Stylesheet too (see the <p> tag with the "digg_this" class?).

Hope that helps
