social network icons + poll:

August 10, 2009


hello lovelies! we're back to regular posting this week! hope you enjoyed customer appreciation week! how was your weekend? so i just wanted to write about a couple blog additions:


over the weekend, i added some social networking icons - everyone has them so i figured i should jump on the bandwagon and add some ;) i got them from this site: but came across that site from liss of daydream lily.


i also added something called linkwithin - many blogs have this. linkwithin links 'related' posts after each post. do you like it? i'm not sure how i feel about it. it looks great on other blogs. i never actually knew how to add it until i clicked the link from rachel's blog, lovely clusters, hehe. so if you have a blog and want to add this, it's just a widget: go here.

anyway, i created a super quick poll with a 'yes' or 'no' if you could vote on if you like it or not, that'd be great! :) thanks!





and lastly, be sure to check out some all new 'inspire" banners in the column - for the latest collection of lovely blogs.

8 hello's:

  1. I have "like" buttons at the bottom of my posts, and I think they're an interesting way for visitors to click around the blog :)

  2. I can't decide actually {not very helpful - I know!}. I think they're a great way to encourage new readers to click around a bit further, but I also don't know if I like the more cluttered look. I've been debating for my own blog as well!

  3. I voted no preference, because I've been an avid reader of your blog for a while so I pretty much know which posts I like and dislike - I don't need to do any further investigation so to speak. But, like Shrimp Salad Circus said, it's a great tool for new readers to discover the posts. The links are also quite subtle there beneath the posts, so they don't bother while reading.

    And wow I just typed this comment in about 5 seconds so it might be a bit incoherent haha.

  4. I first noticed this feature on Cup of Jo, and now I see it everywhere! It's nice when you want to view similar posts... but when not, it just kind of gets in the way. I'll lean more toward 'like' than 'dislike' :)

  7. You know, I wasn't sure about adding those either, but I do like that it culls from my previous posts. I've also found that A LOT of people click on them after tracking all of my stats.

  8. I've been wanting to add those social networking icons but how do you add them to the site as links next to each other like you have when i downloaded some a while ago its just came with separate files for each icon and i wast sure what to do with them? does anyone know where i can find a tutorial?
