Social Bookmark Creator is one of those set it and forget it plugins. It allows your readers to easily add your posts to their favourite social bookmark sites. It’s something that only takes a few minutes to set up, and works in the background indefinitely.

Once you download the plugin, all you need to do is upload social-bookmark.php file into your Wordpress plugins directory. After activating it from the plugins section of your Admin area, all you need to do is place this code wherever you want the plugin to show up:

 
<? if (function_exists('social_bookmark')) { social_bookmark(); } ?>
 

It then allows the user to quickly add links to the page on over 40+ Social Bookmarking sites.

These include Del.ico.us, Digg, Furl, Spurl, RawSugar, Simpy, Shadows, Bink, MyWeb and many others. In your control panel, you can limit which ones are available. I suggest you limit the choice to the more popular sites, especially if you’re opting to display the list type menu.
The display can either be in a drop down menu like:

Or in a list like:

The installation manual is a little lacking and doesn’t provide any more information than what’s listed above. I opted to install mine so that it only shows up when viewing a single post. This prevents it from cluttering the front page in my opinion.
For example, I wanted it to appear right under where the “Edit This Post” message would appear. Searching through your single.php file (found in wp-content/themes/you_theme_name_here/ you can find something similar to this line:

 
<p class="feedback">
<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="<?php _e('Permanent link to'); ?> <?php the_title(); ?>" class="permalink"><?php _e('Permalink'); ?></a>
<?php edit_post_link(__('Edit'), ' &#183; ', ''); ?>
 

Once you add

 
<? if (function_exists('social_bookmark')) { social_bookmark(); } ?>
 

in right underneath it, then you’ll be right on your way.

It’s a great plugin, and while it may not be used by all your users, all the time, it’s something that can gradually help you out in the long run.
