Sociable<\/a><\/strong> is one of those plugins that makes WordPress<\/a><\/strong> such a joy to use. Super easy to install, just download<\/strong>, copy and unpack the archive. Setup from the WordPress Admin panel. This is what really floats my boat<\/strong> about some of the WordPress contributions – they’re beautiful<\/strong>! The author could have used a list of checkboxes to select the social networking sites you want buttons for, but they did this instead:<\/p>\n

\"Sociable<\/a><\/p>\n

Lovely<\/strong>! So easy to setup, just select the best<\/strong> and most appropriate social networking sites for your blog. Or if you’re like me and don’t get out much, just the ones you’ve heard of before, and enjoy the result at the foot of every article<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

\"Sociable<\/a><\/p>\n

There are also buttons in Sociable for printing and emailing<\/strong> an article. I’m delighted with this plugin! I downloaded the 2.6.6 version, and it had a teensy-weensy little fly in the ointment: the tooltip for Digg<\/strong> says ‘bodytext<\/strong>‘ when you hover your mousepointer over the Digg button. Never mind! This is open source<\/strong> and we know how to roll our sleeves up! Find the file sociable.php in the wp-content\/plugins\/sociable directory. Open it with a text editor and find the line<\/strong> that contains ‘bodytext’. Delete the whole line. Save the file. Better than new<\/strong> – now the tooltip says ‘Digg’! Here’s a superfluous image for the fix:<\/p>\n

\"Cutting<\/a><\/p>\n

Select, cut, save. I think you’ve got the idea<\/strong> now. Happy blogging!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
