Simply Stacie asked me how to add the retweet button to her Blogger blog during last week’s hunt for topic ideas.   I thought this was a GREAT question because I don’t have the buttons on my Word Press blog either. LOL!  So, I did a bit of research.

If you have a blogger blog:

To add a ReTweet button to each post, Blogging Resources has an awesome, step-by-step article with pictures to help you put the correct code in the right spot! See How To add ReTweet Button to Blogger.

To add a Digg button to each post, Tips for New Bloggers has a great post, again with pictures.  The language is very “dummy” friendly.   See Add Digg Button to Blogger or Blogspot.

To add FaceBook share button to each post, All Blog Tools wrote a neat post after many questions from blog readers.  You even have 3 different button options!  See Adding FaceBook Share Button for Blogger Posts.

If you have a Word Press blog:

ReTweet Button – Oh, life is so much easier on Word Press.  The name of the plug in you need to add Tweet Meme is TweetMeme Button

Digg Button – This one is a bit more difficult.  First you will want the Digg This plug in, then you need to visit Patrick Yuen Photography for step-by-step instructions of how to install and set it up.  This plug in required a bit of code changes.  No worries, he has instructions that seem to be pretty clear.

FaceBook Share Button – The name of the plug in you want to add to your word press blog is Facebook share (new) button.

I am adding these to my to do list.  I am a bit afraid of adding the buttons right now because I don’t want to see zeros all over my blog. LOL!  But, as my site grows (or as I find a bit more time) I just might have to add them. 

Don’t forget to send me your questions either in comments or via email.  I will do my best to answer them or point you in the right direction.
