I finally finished adding a few social networking icons to my WordPress template, and I thought maybe other folks might find these links useful as well!

First of all, the method of adding each of these three network hookups is pretty similar. If you’ve done any hand-coding and have half a clue as to what you’re doing, you shouldn’t find adding them terribly challenging.

Here’s the documentation for the three share buttons I’ve added:

• Adding the +1 button to your site (Google+)
• Tweet Button (Twitter)
• Like Button (Facebook)

If you’ll be adding the buttons to blog template pages that display more than one post at a time (like the index page), you’re only a click away from going a little more in-depth with the API. Via easily spotted links, you have access to a handful of additional parameters that the basic button-generating pages don’t bother with.

All-in-all, the hardest part of the process was deciding where to put the damn things. 🙂
