Got a Share Button? You should get one for your websites. Seriously...

http://sharethis.com/

Sitting on the dock fooling around with my website coding. I started adding a "Share This" button on the end of some of my posts at CarolynTannStarr.com and even tossed one on my sidebar over here at ActiveRain.com to share the Wordy C blog... I am going to have to manually do this 256 times over there to share each individual post before I take a crack at doing it 952 times over here (which will be a digital S&M moment - LOL).

It would be nice if ActiveRain.com could incorporate it into their platform like they did with the Facebook Like Button so we could share individual posts with people and not aggravate our carpel tunnel from clicking away fiendishly to code every single post. It would also help us and our readers expand our digital territory when we write something interesting that people happen to like. Just saying it would be very useful for people to LIKE something somewhere else besides Facebook...

Click on my sidebar Share This button as an example to view all the options to see just how many other places you can share your links with people who like reading you. (Psssst... I want an automated share this feature for each post, did you get the big hint? BTW, in case "they" miss this post start asking for it bay-bays - LOL)

In the meantime go sign up for a free account and get your Share This scripts to embed on your sidebars and posts.

This widget has been very useful for my work as the NY Working Moms Examiner (I have the Share button on the top and bottom of each article). According to my Google Alerts people have me trending for my job suggestions so I am running out the door to go do some research for my Job of the Day series I am starting over there to keep my readers happy. Feel free to make use of the buttons while I am gone and create your own so people will trend your topics as well. The cool thing about sharing and trending is it will inspire writers to write more on the subjects that readers indicate they like.

Will be posting all kinds of fun stuff later this afternoon based upon my trending reports and predilection for being a wee bit silly (LOL).

I have ten items in draft that need to get published and new music to introduce you guys to with lots of River Cafe eye candy. Yup. Gonna do a foodie paradise review of a stellar spot to eat at in Brooklyn with lovely views of the Manhattan skyline. CarolynTannStarr.com went live on-line May 31st and has over 250 ActiveRain posts republished there. We are going to create a hot spot for the music crew and the wee people's La Femme Art project. I am not the ony artist who brings her kids to work and I have hooked up with some working moms that are going to virtually blow your mind with the talents that they have. It's a girl's club of talented women who are about to come out and play in cyberspace. I have a lot of brick and mortars to bring into the blogging fold. We are building a virtual home for Club Chaos Boot Camp. It will be just like a university blackboard powered by Moodle. Very cool work in progress (when I am not destroying modules - LOL). :-)

A "Bad Gateway" error is keeping me from showing you a sneak preview right now. It's no fun blogging live from cool locations when you can't upload your eye candy on a whim. The AR programmers are working on that so have patience with me and them. We will be making a lot more videos since that feature appears to be working fine and the La Femme Art crew will be specializing in "How To" behind the scene instructional videos staring a bunch of wee people (LOL). Oh, the things we plan to show you guys this Summer... It will be mad fun. We've started collecting suggestions and donations for the film crew and the shorties. Contrary to popular belief, everyone on my creative crew does not work for M&Ms (LMAO). ;-)  

Time to get back to work. I love my digital day job and will be doing brick and mortar real estate in the afternoons. Might even post something real estate related later on that you may find useful... Maybe... it depends upon which e-mails I decide to answer in public (LOL). Go have fun today. We certainly are. ;-)

Definitely a good idea, C. There are a lot of potential readers out there beyond Facebook. It's added to my very long list of things to do!

I sent myself an e-mail via the "share button" but haven't received an e-mail yet.  ?????

Great Post!  I use several different Share buttons for what I do.  I market Real Estate with tours, and have syndicated on a mass scale with these buttons.

It is a priceless process, and yields results every time!

 

Thanks

Erica, The New York City water taxis are really cool.

Thank you, Marie.

S Nathan, there are a lot of useful widgets out there. :-)

Scott, you are welcome.

Tom, I'm still trying to figure out why it shows up on the outside but not the inside blogs. Making good use of it though. I am getting results. :-)

Lori, I will look into the e-mail issue. I have not used that feature.

Jonathan, you are very welcome.

John, my long list of things to do is getting waaaaaaay out of control (LOL). I am still chipping away at it. :-)

Chris, will update you guys about the kink work arounds when they act on the bugs reported.
