Let Your Reader Share Your Articles with Their Friends Easier

Do you notice this on my posts?

This is a great tool that ease the reader share, or print the article more conveniently.

In order to get this on the website, you need to get the social bookmarking or sharing proxy services. For me I use http://www.addthis.com/. Well, it comes no reason but just happen that i found this service first at the place and it is so far fine to use. I know there are a lot more but will only do research on them later. I suspect there isn’t much different in terms of services, just depends on which one you like it more.

You don’t have to register in order to use this service. The benefit of being registered is you have a track record of what is the trend of your website and information being shared.

You need only set 3 options to generate the code for your website. As mentioned, the 3 options is optional but is good if you register and have your website sharing and bookmarking kept track for future reference.

If you want just be simple and explore more complex stuff later, just click on the big, red button to the next page where you have the code to plug in to your website.

If you want to have more customization, you have to go the “More options>”. In case you don’t notice it:

After you have click into the more options, you will see a more complex setup of your social bookmarking and sharing buttons or toolbox. Remember that buttons or toolbox is servicing the same purpose. You can choose either one that suite to the design of your website.

Please notice that the Toolbox is currently in Beta. And AddThis do have a note on the corner there.

They actually explain “What’s this?” when you point your mouse pointer there. Have a look on it.

Here you go. Choose the options and get the code to plug into your website. And you are one step further to encourage your visitors to share your articles and eventually, improve traffic to your website.

Good luck web publishing. All comments are welcome.
