This is a super lightweight plugin to insert a set of social share links at the bottom of each post, focused on technical blogs.

With this plugin you have simple options to configure. Simply enable or disable to show or not the bookmark social links.

This is the list of used social sites:

  • Digg
  • Reddit
  • StumbleUpon
  • Yahoo Buzz
  • DZone
  • Facebook
  • Viadeo
  • Delicious
  • DotNetKicks
  • DotNetShoutout
  • LinkedIn
  • Technorati
  • Twitter
  • Google Buzz
  • Faves
  • Mister Wong

The plugin is implemented using the most simplistic html code to ensure fast load and minimal impact on your blog.

Works with IE6 and HTML feed (atom, rss) readers. Handles selective placement and position of the links (working in better support for this).
