I finally found an EASY way to add the social bookmarking buttons to my blog posts.  Of course I am weary of overdoing it, but I’ve been trying to find an easy way to “socialize” my blog for some time, so I’m doing it!  Your on your way to Social Media Optimization bliss in just 5 steps:

  1. Download Sociable 2.0 here: http://push.cx/sociable
  2. Unzip the files to your computer
  3. Using FileZilla (or another FTP server) upload the social folder (not just files in it) to the wp-content/plugins folder of your blog
  4. Go to your Wordpress Admin and activate the plugin on the Plugins page
  5. Go to Options and choose which social buttons you want and how you want them presented

 You get to choose from the following 61 sites (but be tactful!):

blinkbits, BlinkList, BlogMemes, blogmarks, co.mments, connotea, del.icio.us, De.lirio.us, digg, DZone, Fark, feedmelinks, Furl, Fleck, Gwar, Hemidemi, IndiaGram, IndianPad, kick.ie, LinkaGoGo, Linkter, Ma.gnolia, MisterWong, MyShare, My-Tuts, NewsVine, Netscape, Netvouz, PopCurrent, ppnow, RawSugar, Rec6, Reddit, scuttle, Shadows, Simpy, Slashdot, Smarking, Spurl, SphereIt, StumbleUpon, Taggly, Technorati, TailRank, Webride, Wists, Wykop, and YahooMyWeb.

My favorite 7 are in bold.  Which one’s do you like?

I just successfully survived my first Wordpress upgrade, but not without more than a few skipped heart beats. After deleting the appropriate files, and uloading the 2.3.2 using the FTP Client FileZilla, I proceed to the wp-content/upgrade.php page, and I get….”FATAL ERROR…”. Thanks to an esteemed colleague, and Wordpress support, I got back up in running.

Not being especially confident messing around behind the scenes and this being my first “down time” experience, I must say this was quite a scare. Were months of original, heart-felt content down the drain? I am of course being a tad mellow dramatic because I backed up all my files, but being able to go to my blog to see those soothing blue skies whenever I want, and all of the sudden having that ripped out from under my noise, was, let’s say….not cool.

Anyways, if its your first time going for the upgrade definitely proceed with caution. It was after all a great learning experience, and an important advancement for the future of Organic Response. See ya soon…
