Blog Icons for RSS Feeds

eeeboy · 10-14-2006, 01:30 PM

I have seen in many blogs that they have some icons in their right panel such as like FeedBurner, My Yahoo , google , and many other sites. I guess that icons are for subscribing to that thread using those services. Now , I have my own blog in wordpress. Wordpress having their own RSS feeding service. But still I want to enable those icons for subscribing my thread.

With that , I also want to add a button like many blogs have that is a link to del.icio.us , or digg.com or technorati .

Please tell me how to add these icons i mean how to make a link for my blog in those pages and where I can find those icons. do i need to save those icons from their page and then put a image hyperlink using html ?

Thanx in advance.

Regards

You will need to edit index.php and single.php to add in this code:

Code:

<div class="socialnetworks">
    <a title="Submit To Digg" href="http://digg.com/submit?phase=2&url=<?php the_permalink() ?>" ><img src="[URL DIRECTORY TO WHERE YOU UPLOADED YOUR IMAGE]/digg.gif" alt="Digg" border="0"></a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;
    <a title="Save To del.icio.us" href="http://del.icio.us/post?url=<?php the_permalink() ?>;title=<?php bloginfo('name'); ?> &gt;&gt; <?php the_title() ?>"><img src="[URL DIRECTORY TO WHERE YOU UPLOADED YOUR IMAGE]/delicious.gif" alt="del.icio.us" border="0"></a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;
    <a title="Save To FURL" href="http://www.furl.net/storeIt.jsp?t=<?php the_title() ?>;u=<?php the_permalink() ?>" ><img src="[URL DIRECTORY TO WHERE YOU UPLOADED YOUR IMAGE]/frul.gif" alt="FURL" border="0"></a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;
    <a title="Save to Yahoo! My Web 2.0" href="http://myweb2.search.yahoo.com/myresults/bookmarklet?t=<?php the_title() ?>;u=<?php the_permalink() ?>"><img src="[URL DIRECTORY TO WHERE YOU UPLOADED YOUR IMAGE]/yahoomyweb.jpg" alt="Yahoo! My Web 2.0" border="0"></a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;
    <a title="Save to Reddit" href="http://reddit.com/submit?url=<?php the_permalink() ?>;title=<?php the_title() ?>" ><img src="[URL DIRECTORY TO WHERE YOU UPLOADED YOUR IMAGE]/reddit.gif" alt="Reddit" border="0"></a>
</div>

Insert this code after the "Read the rest of this entry" section and before the "feedback" section.

Next, add the CSS section for "socialnetworks" to your style.css file:

Code:

.socialnetworks {
    text-align: right;
    clear: both;
    font-size: 10px;
    padding-bottom: 10px;
}

You will also need to upload the buttons. I will attach them to this post for you.

will this work for wordpress too ? I mean in wordpress I have really little things to do. They even dont allow <script></script>. I cant use my adsense account even. and I havent seen so far any file named index.php or single.php in my blog edit page.

your suggestion sounds to me for blogger or other liberal blog sites.

These instructions are only for WordPress.

index.php is the main page. It can be found under /wp-content/themes/theme_you_are_using/index.php

single.php is the file WordPress uses to generate the web page view of a single post.
