Linking to bookmarks

I’ve just added a string of icons at the bottom of every post that will (generally) post the post to a social bookmarking site. So, if you want to save the post’s Web address into your account at, say, del.icio.us, you’d just click on the del.icio.us icon at the bottom of the post.

I totally stole this from Content to Be Different. Thanks!

To adapt it to WordPress, the software this blog uses, you edit the Main Index Template in Presentation Theme editor. To put in a button that links to blinkbits, you’d add something like this:

<a href=”http://www.blinkbits.com/bookmarklets/save.php?v=1&source_url=<?php the_permalink()?>&title=<?php the_title(); ?>&body=< ?php the_title(); ?>” title=”blinkbits”><img src=”http://www.yourblogsite.com/wp-content/blinkbits.png” alt=”blinkbits” />

The <?php the_permalink()?> tells WordPress to substitute the permalink of that particular post and the < ?php the_title(); ?> tells it to put in the post’s title. And, of course you’ll have to change the URL of the image file that you’re linking to.

Let the debugging begin! :)
