Drive More Traffic to Your Blog!

I’ve written up a fairly comprehensive tutorial on how to put del.icio.us link tags on your blog posts for both Wordpress and Blogger. The setup when done properly will not only open a new window but it will automatically copy in the page link AND the page title into the submit form for you! How cool is that? You’ll still have to write in your own tags though. What? I can’t do everything for you, the tags are something you’ll just have to take care of yourself!

To see how it works just click my little “TAG IT” link at the bottom of this post. I’m running the latest Wordpress at this writing (version 2.0.2) but I’ve also tested it in an earlier version (version 1.5.1.2) and it worked exactly the same.

A big chunk of credit goes to the guys over at Fresh Blog for the Blogger version. They also have lots more cool stuff that you can use on your blog. I saw their version for Blogger which inspired me to rework it for Wordpress. I tweaked it a bit to come up with a solution that’s much simpler than any version that I’ve seen posted anywhere else. No plugins are needed and it doesn’t even use PHP to accomplish except for the “includes” which are already in my code.
