How to: Add FeedFlare Social Bookmarks
Having Social Bookmark links on your site encourages visitors to bookmark specific posts. This makes your site known to other member of the social bookmark service, which can increases visitors to your site. It can also improve your sites rating on search engines. Currently, FlatPress has no widget to add these links. There are a couple of themes, which include icon links to the more popular social bookmark sites. However, if you want to create your own custom set of quick links you will need to modify these themes yourself.
Another way to accomplish this is to use the Feedburner account add-on FeedFlare. This add-on allows you to select from a variety of social bookmarks you can add to your posts. After setting up an account and selecting social bookmarks, you will add a java script to your site’s theme. The process is same as adding Adsense ads to the bottom of your post. If you later decide to change which social bookmark links you want on your post, you only need to change your FeedFlare settings in your FeedBurner account. Then after a some time your changes will show up on your posts. You do not need to change java code you already added to your theme.
