Yes, Timethief and defrostindoors use that and I’ve been thinking of switching to it. It includes all the bookmarks that we use, and then some. Also, it’s much smaller and not so bright as a whole row of the other buttons.

I use it. It fits in very well with the compact sidebar phase I’m going through.

I included the code for the Add This Social bookmark button and the rss subscribe buttons in this thread https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic.php?id=9051

It’s a great option. (I discovered it on TT’s blog. :) As I mentioned in another thread, the only problem I’ve had with it is that the stats they provide for you on their site seem not to be working, and I’ve been unable to get any response from the people there. TT or Andrew, do any stats show up for you on their site?

I’ve only been using it for a few days, and it’s certainly possible no one has clicked through and used it from my blog. (I don’t see much indication in my wp stats that anyone – other than myself – has.) But I’ve used it myself to put a couple of posts on Reddit, and still no stats show up in my account there. Otherwise, I like it.

I’m not clear on how Add This could track stats on wordpress.com blogs without the use of javascript. I have never gone to the Add This site to look at stats. I can see the click throughs on my blogs and that’s sufficient for my needs.

Ah yes, I think that’s the explanation. To use their widget on a wp.com blog you have to use the sidebar version, because the other version (for wp.org blogs) causes problems, most likely because it contains javascript. I think that clears it up. :) Thanks.

I have added the social bookmark button but had to add it by adding it to a separate widget. Isn’t there a way to include more than one on the same widget so that you don’t have to use a separate widget for each one, like I have one for technaroti.

Thanks :)

I have added the Addthis social bookmark but it has shown up twice and then no more. That was before I add the google one but I would think that would make a difference.

Hmm?

Some of the images are blipping in and out: I’m noticing it on my bookmark buttons particularly. I wonder if it’s a bandwidth issue as everyone is leeching off exactly the same images in every post. Try copying the image and uploading it to your space and using that image URL, keeping the link the same.
