It’s nice to be Sociable

I thought I’d mention a Wordpress plugin that I installed today: Sociable. It’s an easy way to add social bookmarking links to posts in a similar way to the good ol’ Beeb.

Choose the networks you want to link to and you can also set the circumstances under which those little badges appear. I’ve set mine to only appear inside a post, because I think it looks tacky to have a page filled with icons.

I took the liberty of modifying the plugin to add support for Facebook and 9rules and have submitted the changes back to developer Peter Harkins for general release.

These icons link to social bookmarking sites where readers can share and discover new web pages.
