ShareThis Button Added

I have just added a ShareThis button to this blog. This is a widget that allows you to share posts. If you look at the bottom of each post (but above the comments, if you're looking at a single post page), you'll see something that looks like this:

Click on it (not the picture above, but the icon at the bottom of any post) to send a link to the post via email or instant messaging, to copy the link to your own blog, or to add it to various bookmark sharing sites like Digg, Reddit, and StumbleUpon.

I don't have any experience with social bookmarking, but I have just used this button to send a link by email, and to add it to my MySpace and Facebook pages, and that all went well.

Try it out, if you like, and let me know how it goes. Thanks.

[Added] Ocean asked in the comments about registration, which I should have said something about earlier. As far as I can tell, you don't need to be registered with ShareThis to use the widget and some of its functionality; e.g., to send a link by email or to copy the link for your own blogging purposes. However, if you want to post the link on, say, Digg, you'll have to register with Digg, and similarly for other social bookmarking sites. That registration process can happen as part of clicking the ShareThis button; i.e., you don't have to go away, register at the social bookmarking site, and then come back. Ditto with the various sign-in procedures -- I was able to post a link to my Facebook page without first being signed in -- it all worked in line, as expected, after clicking the ShareThis button. (Thanks, O.)
