better without a plugin
Thank you for the beautiful tip! I totally agree that, its better to use this code than using a plugin.
Thanks guys; glad you agree. I think that if you can ever not use a plugin, then you probably shouldn't.
Is there any possible way do add a LiveJournal social link to a Wordpress theme without a plugin?
im not quite sure i understand, i copy and paste above code but it just shows up like that in my blog.
Where are you placing it? It needs to be placed in the theme files (single.php for example.)
That one I'm not sure about. If you could show me an example of the link that appears when you click a “Share to Live Journal” link I could give you the code, but I haven't been able to find the structure that Live Journal uses to share links.
The plugin save us time and have additional options, and a list of hudreds of social networks or bookmarking sites to choose.
I've used sociable, but i don't like to have many social networks with small icons.
I will change to 3 icons, big ones, tweet meme button, facebook share and digg. I think it is enough and all people use those 3. Very few people use others.
thank you!
