Eddie Awad's blog posts have a nice row of social bookmarking icons at the bottom. These are courtesy of the Sociable plugin for WordPress. Each of these bookmarks the post at the associated social bookmarking site.
I have always thought it would be nice to have this on my blog. Since I can't use plugins willy nilly at WordPress.com, I had to find another way. Enter the Socializer by Pierre Far. Provides a way to bookmark your blog on a whole bunch (~40 at last count) of bookmarking sites. To make it easy to use:
1. I rolled my own chicklet : ![]()
2. Created my custom URL http://ekstreme.com/socializer/?url=http%3A%2F%2F<my url>%2F&title=<my title>
3. Used the image and URL to create a Bookmark to my own blog
Not the same thing, but a pretty good hack even if I say so myself.

Hi Rahul, I run songsblog.com, and i was wondering if you’d take a look at my posts. I put the Socializer plugin in, but after I post, do I click it and it takes me to the page . Do I have to click every icon or it does it for me?
Thanks
Lawton

Lawton,
The readers of your blog will submit your post to their favourite social bookmarking website by clicking the appropriate button.
Hope this helps.

Just found out about Socializer – thanks for the cool tip! I’m surprised Socializer itself didn’t provide this…

Just one thing I’m not sure about.
Social bookmarking is when we save bookmarks to a public website and ‘tag’ them with keywords.
So…if we use – http://ekstreme.com/socializer/
…are the keyword tags already included with our page ?

Rahul said
Carole,
You are right. There does not seem to be a way to submit tags thru Socializer at the moment.
Rahul
Carole said
Raul, just a thought. Maybe our keywords for the relevant pages are automatically submitted.
Also, I’ve downloaded the most popular graphs to click on and just wondered if there’s an easy way to link these up to socialize it.

Howdy,
I understand how Social Bookmarking will help me, but darn it all anyhow, I just don’t understand what it is you want me to do.
Aside from me being a middle-aged, over-weight, over-privileged dumb American who thinks the name of our planet should be changed to “New York City”, can one of you take me in-hand and lead me through this?

2006? Where’s the current content for this useful subject? It never looks good when a site’s active links go right to a totally out-of-date site!!
There are still people out here trying to learn stuff!! What’s NEW re all this?
