Add Social Bookmarking Buttons in your Wordpress Blog without plugins
There are nearly 8,087 plugins in the Worpress .org site and many of them are useful from different point of views. So does that means that you should just go and install all of them. “Plugins can extend WordPress to do almost anything you can imagine” and this statement is enough for many to just go and start downloading and installing all the plugins that they want without even thinking what could be result of installing so many plugins could do. Using many plugins can slow down your blog performance, reason being, more number of queries from plugins.
Yes, Plugins are important because of their functionality but if there are alternatives to plugins then why not use them to get your work done. Using Manual code to replace wordpress plugin is a much better way.
In this post I will be highlighting the manual codes that we can use to create share buttons for Retweet, Digg, Buzz, DesignFloat, StumbleUpon, FShare, Delicious, DZone, Reddit, Technoraiti.
How to use
For Wordpress Blog Paste the following code in your theme folders single.php file and for your website paste it on proper place where you want to display.
