Social Bookmarks Help

[Tekster]

I am working on a new blog and I just installed the Social Bookmarks plug in (Apostolos Dountsis), but instead of the icons I get "Add to xxxxxx" as text. The icons do not show up. Any ideas? I am running the latest WP and the latest Social Bookmarks, just downloaded and installed today.

I use that plug-in and haven't had a bit of problems with it.

What other plug-ins do you have installed. Perhaps trying to disable them would tell you something.

Also, maybe you have a bad download (your side) or the file on the dude's site is corrupt. I've uploaded a zipped version to one of my sites if you want to try downloading it

Thanks walrus, I think I had a bad download, reinstalled it and looks OK now.

Boy, it has 50 bookmarks available, how many do you use? All of them?
Also I set it at default with 3 lines and it just looks uneven, any ideas as to where to edit the line and number of icons per line?

Nothing but the WP and Social Bookmarks plug-in, I will start a new thread as to what plus-ins I should use, options and permalinks structure, etc.

I don't use all of them I have two rows of 13. I probably could even reduce those.

You can take a look at any of my blogs like XXX Blog Maniac

that's interesting, Walrus - I had troubles with that one too so I just used another one. Didn't occur to me it could have been the download.

Tek, this is what I did to style the buttons: go into the plugins in wordpress admin, find the plugin, then under action go to edit, it should bring up the php file. I played around with the php file until I found the part where the bookmarks actually get written to the page. Then I added a div style around it with padding to force the buttons to each new line. Took a couple of tries, but as long as you save the original php code you'll be ok

oh, and I used Walrus' pages to give me a guide on which ones to use too, cuz I'm clueless

Thanks ponygirl, but I don't know anything about php, and I would not even know where to start, I would most likely mess it all up. I just did it like you looked at Walrus' pages and used the same ones. It looks OK now, I think.

ya, I don't know anything about php either lol. I actually have a test copy of the blog on my computer to fool around with, it's a great learning tool.

but you're right, it does look nice the way you have it now

Look into the "share this" plug-in. I never had any trouble with that one.

I only used Sociable and really like it. It is widget based so you can drag and drop which icons you want and where. I've been taking quite a few out, slimming down to the most popular.

I spent a day removing all of my social bookmarks and replaced them with the two chiclets from add this
My thinking two outgoing links beats a dozen
Only time will tell if it made a difference

Ya, I've seen that one a few times. Probably does make it nice, not to clutter up your own site. Actually smart little idea there, looks like they are getting a good amount of traffic and tons of backlinks. Always an idea out there.

As for links out, well, "some" say linking to authority sites can be a good thing. Not like i know for sure.
