Easy Social Bookmarking
Wouldn’t it be nice to be able to easily share our posts on Facebook or Twitter with a nice WordPress plugin? Well if you are using WordPress.com then sharing is not going to happen the easy way but I will tell you about a social bookmarking site that will make it next to easy.
GetSocial Live
GetSocial Live is super simple to use. Follow the link I just offered. The first thing you will do is insert your post title (for example Social Bookmarking For WordPress.com) Below that insert the permalink to your post (for example http://explorewp.wordpress.com/20100717/social-bookmarking-for-wordpress-com/).
GetSocial Live Style
Your next step is to select which style of social bookmarks you would like to use. Choose from the following:
Classic
Add to: Facebook | Digg | Del.icio.us | Stumbleupon | Reddit | Blinklist | Twitter | Technorati | Yahoo Buzz | Newsvine
How To Add Code
Now that you have chosen your style you are ready to generate the HTML code. Click the GetSocial! tab. Once you do this you will see a blue code dierectly below. Right click on the blue code and copy it.
Now go back to your post. Make sure that you are in the edit post section. Click on HTML and insert your code where you want it. Now click publish. Go look at your post and you should see your nice social bookmarks.
WordPress just announced that when you share your WordPress link on Facebook, they will now grab the post photo and set next to your link.
Hell Has Frozen Over
I never thought I would see the day when WordPress would have a really awesome looking theme. Back in the day the coolest themes were probably ChaoticSoul and Vigilance. WordPress has started to come out with some decent themes and Greyzed is absolutely one of them.
Greyzed Features
Uh, It Just Looks Good
The color scheme is really nice. Nice big title so there is no mistaking what the site is called. The comment bubble is a nice feature.
Drop Down Menu
With the Greyzed Page Tabs at the top you are able to have parent categories. For Example, let’s say that you have a category about cars but you want to add different types of cars without the top of your site getting all bunched up. Easy to fix.
Let’s say you make a new page called Porsche. When you are creating this page just go over to the right and look for Page Attributes. You will see a drop down menu that says (no parent). Click this and locate your Cars category. Once you publish your page Porsche will drop down from the cars category when clicked.
Footer
I hate when I am not able to use my footer space for something. I think putting too much stuff in the sidebar is unattractive and distracting.
What are your thoughts on the Greyzed theme for WordPress? Please share your thoughts in the comments!
