Using Plugin Scripts To Add Social Bookmarking Buttons To WordPress Blog
by Fernando Hal (cheatad.com)

I played with a lot of WordPress plugin lately, especially those for social bookmarking (read Facebook, Twitter, etc). Here are some that I decide to keep and use on this blog. To use these plugins in your WordPress blog, you’ll need to download them and follow the installation instruction given. Mostly are quite easy and straight-forward though. Of course, you’ll need to create a profile in the social bookmark sites also.

Digg-Digg WordPress Plugin

This plugin for WordPress adds a list of icons links at the end of your posts that allow your visitors to easily submit them to a number of social bookmarking sites. You can choose which ones to display from a number of sites. At my last count, Social Bookmarks supports over 40 social bookmarking sites, including StumbleUpon, Del.icio.us, Squidoo, Technorati, and Slashdot.

Twitter Tools WordPress Plugin

Almost seem to be forgotten, RSS feed is actually still going strong and is still the most preferred way for bookmarking a blog. Feedburner helps take the burden of constantly generating feed from your server while tracking the subscribers. If you have Adsense account, you can earn a bit by allowing ads to the feed too. This Feedburner WordPress Plugin will seamlessly redirect your feeds to your FeedBurner feed.
