New Feature: Social Media Buttons (Facebook, Goolge+, Twitter etc)

[Dan]

I've just added a new feature to the forum which expands on the existing Facebook 'like' feature. Now you'll find buttons on many pages, for many social networks.

Please do like each thread that you find interesting, the more threads liked, the better.

And please click 'Like' in the forum sidebar to like our actual facebook page, but also click 'like' at the top of the forum homepage to actually 'like' our page.

Confusing? Maybe - You just need to click 'em both though, and then we know you've done it right.

Cheeeeeers for all your help with this. As many likes on as many social networks please.

Just click 'Like' when you see a button you are familiar with. If you don't spot one, don't worry, it probably isn't applicable to you.

Different social networks.

See them at the top of this thread?

Facebook, Twitter, Digg, LinkedIn, StumpleUpon, and Google+

Before, we only had Facebook.

Though I'm guessing that if you didn't get what I said, that you probably don't use social networks?

This sort of stuff won't apply to most I'd guess on this forum. Though when it does and people use the features, it can help bring more members to the forum, and that's cool, even for the people who don't use the features.

A no brainer in my eyes.

Sorted but how did you get the google +1 button on there? I've tried and failed so far on my website..

You just need to copy the HTML code into your page, but switch the page to HTML view rather than WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) view.

Also try doing a plugin search in your wordpress. You'll probably find one that installs a similar thing to what we have now, so it'll have a tweet this, google +1 this, and fb like this all rolled into one.
Do a search for [h=2]ShareThis[/h]http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/share-this/

It's a one-click install though through your control panel. You don't want to maul around downloading and uploading things so just do a search in your control panel.

Ok, that plugin might help. I did copy the code off the google site into HTML, but it just didn't show, and used another as well, then got rid of both not to confuse things later on. Will try some other time, today I took a whole day off!! :hurray: went into town, saw friends, normal stuff! :hurray:
