How do I add the buttons for other sites to my posts

September 24th 2008 03:32

I notice many of the writers on Orble give an option for readers to add their posts to other sites such as Faceook, Delicious, Digg and Stumble Upon. Can you tell me how to do this?

hi Janet,

you need to enable your "add-to" buttons

go to "My Orble"

look for the blog you want to add the buttons to listed in the "Control Panel" at the top

click the "Modify" button for the blog you want to add the "add-to" buttons to

the "Modify" page has My.Orble.com > Community > Blogs > Modify written at the top

the 7th sub-heading down the page is Display 'Add To' Buttons (about mid-way down the page)

use the drop down menu to select "Yes"

scroll to the bottom and hit the big grey "Modify Blog" button to save the changes

repeat process on each blog you would like the "add-to" buttons to appear

hope that helps!

Thanks a lot Morgan

As you can probably tell, I am not too good on the technical side and your advice is much appreciated.

Thank you again.

Janet

On a similar note... Do all blogs have the "Share it" block to share to that one site? I thought there used to be an option for digg, su, facebook, etc.

Edit: oops The huge share it block distracted me from the little buttonsfor the other bookmarking sites.

yeah the Vimu "share it" button is a little oversized hey - it kind of dwarfs the other buttons!

it definitely dwarfs the other buttons. ha ever since it was added or at least ever since I've noticed it, I just assumed that the other buttons were gone. I just actually looked for them yesterday to see if they really were gone.
