    Hey everyone,

    I've seen it before but I'm still wondering how its done. People post in their blog and at the bottom of the post there are buttons for Digg, de.licio.us, Stumble Upon, and others. How would I go about getting these to appear on my blog? Is it a simple plug-in or is it more complicated?

    I used Feedburner FeedFlare. Just signup for FeedBurner and you can get the social bookmarking plug-ins on both your feed and your site, pretty slick.

    what plugin you recomend! thanks.

    and yes social bookmark sites are differnet from those chicklets that feed burner provides. there is a limit to the number of pings that you can send also! but then feedburner is still the best for these things:)

    This is how you convert a normal link to no follow link

    normal link with anchor text
    <a href="http://www.example.com/">example text</a>

    no follow link with anchor text
    <a href="http://www.example.com/" rel="nofollow">example text</a>

    just follow these step from this site

    EG: to add Digg social bookmark @ all u r post

    Login to blogger with your ID
    After entering the dashboard page , click Layout
    Then click edit HTML tab.
    Please mark the little box beside Expand Widget Templates. Wait for a moment.
    Go to your template code, and find the code like this :
    <p><data:post.body/></p>
    Delete the code above and alter with following code :
    <p>
    <!-- DIGG -->
    <div style='float:right; margin-left:10px;'>
    <script type='text/javascript'>
    digg_url = '<data:post.url/>';
    </script>
    <script src='http://digg.com/tools/diggthis.js' type='text/javascript'/>
    </div>

    <data:post.body/>

    # Click Save Template button.
    Done. Now digg button was added to your post.
