How to social bookmark buttons

To place the social bookmark buttons at the footer of every post you have to edit your template HTML code and check "Expand Widget Templates" to find the code to replace. When you have checked "Expand Widget Templates" you have to find:

<p class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-3'/>

Here is the code you have to paste:

<p class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-3'> Submit in: <a expr:href='"http://del.icio.us/post?url=" + data:post.url + "&title=" + data:post.title' target='_blank' title='Bookmark This to del.icio.us'><img alt='Del.icio.us' height='16' src='http://img2.imagepile.net/images/ycc2106/80727937.png' style='border:none;padding:0px;' width='16'/></a><a expr:href='"http://technorati.com/cosmos/search.html?url=" + data:post.url' target='_blank' title='Add to Technorati Favorites'><img alt='Add Story To Technorati' height='16' src='http://img2.imagepile.net/images/ycc2106/81723336.png' style='border:none;padding:0px;' width='16'/></a><a expr:href='"http://digg.com/submit?phase=2&url=" + data:post.url' title='Digg This Story!'><img alt='Digg This Story' height='16' src='http://img2.imagepile.net/images/ycc2106/89072042.png' style='border:none;padding:0px;' width='16'/></a><a expr:href='"http://www.google.com/bookmarks/mark?op=add&bkmk="+ data:post.url + "&title=" + data:post.title' title='Bookmark to Google'><img alt='Add to Google' height='16' src='http://img2.imagepile.net/images/ycc2106/10847106.png' style='border:none;padding:0px;' width='16'/></a><a expr:href='"http://reddit.com/submit?url=" + data:post.url + "&title=" + data:post.title' title='Add to reddit'><img alt='reddit' height='16' src='http://img2.imagepile.net/images/ycc2106/10796749.png' style='border:none;padding:0px;' width='16'/></a></p>
