myFavorites icon for your blog

Check out what you can do with the WordPress plug-in called Sociable. Take a look at the bottom of this post on my personal blog (an experimental area for me). See the EarthLink logo? If you click on that logo it'll add whatever post it's contained within to the myFavorites application. Pretty nifty!

This plug-in allows you to add many other social bookmarking icons to your blog posts, but I'd recommend going easy on the number you add - just to avoid looking tacky.

Brief instructions after the jump...

If you'd like to add a myFavorites icon to your blog here are some basic instructions (I am assuming that you're an experienced Wordpress plug-ins user).


  • Download the Sociable plug-in
  • Open the "sociable.php" file contained in the main folder
  • Add 'EarthLink' => Array(
    'favicon' => 'earthlink.png',
    'url' => 'http://myfavorites.earthlink.net/my/add_favorite?title=TITLE&url=PERMALINK',
    ), to the list of known sites
  • Install the plug-in
  • Go to the WordPress plug-in's options menu and select the icons you want to display


    That is it. For now, this is only a solution for those bloggers using the WordPress platform. Does anyone know of a similar plug-in for Moveable Type?
