I was bouncing around the net trying to find some easy, “Copy and Paste”, code to add Sociable type functionality to my Blogger blog and had little luck locating code that actually did what it said it would. So I set to the task of writing something that would.

Below is some simple code you can copy and paste into your Blogger template to add the following group of social networks to your Blogger web sites.

There are a lot of social bookmarking programs out there you can sign up for to syndicate your bookmarks online. My personal favorite is Del.icio.us.

It seems to be one of; if not the #1, social bookmarking programs out there. I base this on the fact that many other social bookmarking sites offer the option to import from Del.icio.us.Below is a list of Del.icio.us import friendly programs. I’ll continue to add to this list as I find them.
