Social Bookmarking Part 2: Make your site social

For those who don't want to go through the trouble of setting up your own link bar you can just copy and paste the version needed below. I've chosen some of the more popular sites that don't offer browser integration (ie. a button to click to save a site on your browser toolbar). I also have chosen more viral type sites, those have some sort of voting mechanism, because they tend to give more traffic to lesser known sites like mine.

PHP Version

Use this version if your site is on a server that has PHP. With these links the URL part of the link submission is already filled out for the user. As always, if you're using this bar on a high bandwidth site, please move the images there, hotlinking is discouraged. Thanks.

           

Copy and paste to code below, feel free to modify it.

<a href="http://digg.com/submit?phase=2&amp;url=<?php echo urlencode('http://' . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']); ?>&amp;title=Donutey&amp;bodytext=Insert+description+here." rel="nofollow" title="Digg this"><img src="../images/digg.png" width="16" height="16" alt="Digg" /></a>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<a href="http://del.icio.us/post"
onclick="window.open('http://del.icio.us/post?v=4&amp;noui&amp;jump=close&amp;url='+encodeURIComponent(location.href)+'
&amp;title='+encodeURIComponent(document.title), 'delicious','toolbar=no,width=700,height=400');
return false;" rel="nofollow" title="Post to Del.icio.us">
<img src="../images/del.png" width="16" height="16" alt="Del.icio.us" /></a>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<a href="http://reddit.com/submit?url=<?php echo urlencode('http://' . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']); ?>&amp;title=Insert+Title" rel="nofollow" title="Submit to Reddit"><img src="../images/reddit.png" width="16" height="16" alt="Reddit" /></a>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<a href="http://smarking.com/editbookmark/?url=<?php echo urlencode('http://' . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']); ?>" rel="nofollow" title="Add to Smarking"><img src="../images/smarking.png" width="16" height="16" alt="Smarking" /></a>

HTML-only Version

Choose this option if you think, or know, your site doesn't support PHP. These links take the user to the submission page, but they still have to enter the URL they were coming from. As always, if you're using this bar on a high bandwidth site, please move the images there, hotlinking is discouraged. Thanks.
