Hello Everyone,
I’ve been working an hour or so every day on an ebook featuring three WordPress social networking plugins: Sociable, About Me 3000, and Share This. It’s up to nine pages now. I’m calling it “The Easy, The Hard, and The Impossible”. So far, the ebook contains support information and how the plugin displays on the page. As I dig into the functionality of these WP plugins, I’m sure there will be more.
What I’ve found so far has helped me, if no one else. I now have an “About Me” widget in my sidebar. I couldn’t get it to work before. The more time I spend with WordPress, the more I understand how things come together on my websites.
Sociable displayed a list of my social networking links at the bottom of my blog posts and worked great. Then, I saw Chris Brogan’s blog. He uses Share This, so I started using that plugin. Once the site visitor clicks the icon, she can choose from a multitude of social networking sites. If she wanted to tweet my post, she would login to her Twitter account. But, if she signs up for a Share This account, her information is saved and she wouldn’t need to type it in every time. It’s an extra step the first time, but saves one every time thereafter. Sounds like a win-win situation for the time impaired. 
Bye for now, I’ll talk with you again soon.
