I’ve come across another good plugin that I like and have decided to add to my site(s) – it’s called the WP Socializer.

It’s an all-in-one plugin that includes links to all of the popular social networking / media web sites, but importantly, it allows a fair amount of customisation too. If you click on the full version of this post, you can see the plugin in effect, with the email, print, facebook, linkedin and twitter icons appearing rather faintly just at the top of the post. 

The plugin gives complete flexibility about which social media sites you want to include, but also where you’d like them to appear on your site/blog. For instance, I’ve chosen them to only appear on individual posts, at the top of the screen above content, whilst excluding individual pages and the home page. I’ve also opted for 16px icons, as opposed to the 32px ones which are also available.

In total, the plugin offers 98 different social media plugins and is so easy to implement that it’s a no-brainer for any wordpress based site in my opinion.

The plugin can be added using the WordPress admin panel and searching for “WP Socializer” or by navigating to the WordPress.org site here: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-socializer/
