I have spend the longest part of the evening trying to figure out a way to get simple customised text-only delicious.com and digg.com links to display at the bottom of my posts.

Yeah, I know there are a zillion wordpress plug-ins that do that, and that both websites provide their own solutions. However, neither the native solutions, nor any of the plug-ins I found seem to allow for the kind of customisation I have in mind. If they do, then I was simply too stupid to find out how.

Anyway, after hours of experimenting I finally managed to get just what I wanted and in the process rearranged and restructured the way posts are being displayed. Take a look at the top of any post and you will find a link to the comments for that particular post and a reference of the category the post is filed under. Previously I chose not to use categories, so until now everything has been filled under “everything”.

Underneath each post you now find another link to the comments section (hint, hint…) and the links allowing you to bookmark the post through delicious.com and share it through digg.com that have triggered this episode.

Go on and try out these new features and let me know what you think.

I am astonished that there don’t seem to be any tutorials on this and that it was so simple in the end. I will most likely write a how-to post in the next few days. The delicious.com link needs a little more work, so it will probably not be before next weekend.

    If you write a How-to I’ll Digg it! ;-) I don’t use Delicious….

    Thanks, I will, have to fix a few things beforehand though.

    It was quite satisfying to hack around for a while and finally make it work.

end of line...
