If you blog, either you’ve at least heard of the social bookmarking sites, or you live under a rock. This is in reference particularly to digg, reddit, del.icio.us and stumbleupon. I decided to add these as I’m a regular reader of digg, and I have been receiving a few hits here and there from del.icio.us and stumbleupon directly from user submissions, and some of my articles have popped up in digg comments. The question is how to set up your articles to make it easier for visitors to submit your them to the social bookmarking sites. Make sure that you change the <$var$> for the title and permalink to whatever corresponds to your site’s CMS/scripting. Then just add corresponding text or an icon.

StumbleUpon is where I got my first social bookmarking referrals. A few people apparently like my Linux Tutorial, particularly for the PCM volume control script.

Reddit engages in a democratic voting system much like Digg as there is a democratic voting concept, but there is also a “karma” system to help cut down on gaming.

..:: Fark
Fark tends to be about news of various sorts, rather than informative/explanatory articles. As such, it may not be suited for your site.

..:: Google Bookmarks
Google Bookmarks doesn’t seem to be as social as the other sites, but it seems useful nonetheless.

For the Google icon, I’m just using the regular Google G.

..:: More Syntax Links
There are other guides for social bookmarking links, but that one lacks stumbleupon. The generator it links to appears to be a little buggy (at the time of this posting), but may get better by the time you read this.
