Top Ways To Make Your Blog Sociable

1. Cute Profiles - Cute Profiles is a WordPress plugin that allows you to add your social network contact information as icons down the side of your WordPress blog. Cute Profiles offers 50 networks to choose from, although you may not want to add them all since your visitor’s screen resolution may inhibit them from seeing all of your icons.

2. Gigya Toolbar - Gigya Toolbar allows visitors to share a blog post on over 70 social bookmarking and networking sites, as well as connect their Twitter account to the toolbar and send out customized tweets. The toolbar also lets you add your Twitter and Facebook Fan Page links, RSS subscription option, Google search for your site, and more. It is conveniently located at the bottom of your website, so visitors can share something they like from any page at any time.

3. Sexy Bookmarks - Sexy Bookmarks, like Sociable, is a WordPress plugin that allows visitors to easily share a blog post on a selection of the top social bookmarking and networking sites. Although the number of networks is much more limited compared to Sociable (only 18 to choose from), Sexy Bookmarks is much more graphically appealing. The icons are displayed at half their size, and when visitors hover over them, they pop up. There is also a cute message above the icons that says Sharing is Sexy.

4. Sociable - Sociable is a WordPress plugin that allows visitors to easily share a blog post on a variety of the top social bookmarking and networking sites. This plugin gives the blog owner control over which networks visitors can share the post. If you have a network that you would like to include that is not listed in the 100+ sites to choose from, Sociable offers instructions for how to add the additional site manually.


5. Facebook Share - Facebook offers a button similar to TweetMeme that allows visitors to easily share blog posts on their Facebook. This button also comes with two styles, with an optional counter for the number of times a blog post has been shared on Facebook. This button can be added directly into the WordPress template theme or directly in a post if you want to only push Facebook promotion on certain posts. Click on the share button above this paragraph to share this article on facebook or visit Facebook Share for more details.
