Sociable WordPress Plugin Updated

Dutch WordPress Superstar Joost de Valk has released an updated version of his popular WordPress plugin Sociable.

Sociable is a useful plugin which adds social media buttons to your WordPress blog automatically. It works incredibly well and has many features. You can changes the tagline above the buttons, you can choose whether links are opened on a new page, you can use your own stylesheet if you wish and you choose what areas of your blog will use the social media buttons. For example, you can decide whether archives have the social media buttons added or whether they appear on your home page. You can also add the buttons to your blogs feed.

My only criticism is that there are too many social media sites to choose from. Check out the image below to see what I mean.

I’ve decided to use Sociable on BloggingTips. So the social media section has went from this :

to this

I think this is an improvement and makes the social media section of BloggingTips more user friendly and more professional looking. What do you think?

I know there are a lot of great Social Media plugins available (for example ShareThis) but I’m a big fan of how easy it is to customize the buttons you want displayed using Sociable. If you have a WordPress powered blog I recommend checking it out.
