Post Submission Buttons for Wordpress
January 11th, 2006 · Posted in Tools, BloggingIt’s now easier than ever to submit your blog posts to any number of social bookmarking sites. Del.icio.us, Furl, Spurl, Digg, and reddit are just a few. I have inserted buttons at the bottom of each one of my posts so that readers can very easily submit or add it to the bookmarking site of their choice. Here is the code that uses Wordpress function calls so that they will fit any Wordpress blog. I’m assuming these will work on version 1.5 or greater. Please contact me if there are any issues with different versions of Wordpress.
<a title="Add '<?php the_title(); ?>' to Del.icio.us" href="http://del.icio.us/post?url=<?php the_permalink() ?>&title=<?php the_title(); ?>" target="_blank"><img alt="del.icio.us <?php the_title(); ?>" src="http://www.toprankresults.com/tools/RSS-images/delicious.gif" border=0></a>
The image is hosted at “Top Rank Online Marketing“, so you should probably copy the image to your own server.
<a title="Submit '<?php the_title(); ?>' to Digg.com" href="http://digg.com/submit?phase=2&url=<?php the_permalink() ?>"><img src="/images/digg.gif"> digg this</a>
<a title="Submit '<?php the_title(); ?>' to reddit.com" href="http://reddit.com/submit?url=<?php the_permalink() ?>"><img src="/images/reddit.gif"> reddit this</a>
<a title="Add '<?php the_title(); ?>' to Furl" href="http://www.furl.net/storeIt.jsp?u=<?php the_permalink() ?>&t=<?php the_title(); ?>"><img src="/images/furl.gif" style="margin-bottom: -4px; padding: 0px;"> Furl this</a>
Copy the ‘digg.gif’, ‘furl.gif’ and ‘reddit.gif’images file onto your own server. Please do not direct link to the picture.
<a title="Add '<?php the_title(); ?>' to Spurl" href="http://www.spurl.net/spurl.php?url=<?php the_permalink() ?>&title=<?php the_title(); ?>">+Spurl this</a>
These will work anywhere inside ‘The Loop‘ in your template design.

Hey Xavier, I’ve been looking for a good resource for bookmarking scripts. Thank you for spelling it out in this post. I’ve been using del.icio.us tags at the bottom of my posts but will now add others.
Here’s a RSS Feed button maker script that’s also useful:

[…] I found a cool link that talks about adding buttons to your wordpress blog so your posts can be submitted to Digg, Delicious, Furl, Spurl, and the other websites. You got to edit index.php (In most themes) to add the buttons. He has acouple of images, but I added his code, and removed the images. If you don’t know much HTML, here are my codes without images (And I don’t use images because It makes my front page look ugly): […]

You can also just use the Sociable plugin if you don’t want to edit the PHP code manually.
