What a find!

Getting found online - via your blog, twitter feed, facebook profile etc is all about being connected.

In the short time I've been blogging I've been looking at others with all kinds of buttons and gizmos allowing readers to bookmark or otherwise promote the post or the whole blog and I've searched and searched for how to do it.
Now, I understand, for some of you this might seem like 'Social Networking 101' but you know, not all of us want to get into the intricacies of the code that lies behind all these useable tools (including Blogger of course).
Some posts and sites I've found give a solution for one particular site - so for example somewhere on Facebook, you'll find a help article that refers only to the Facebook button. Likewise for Digg and so on. Maybe I'm just too inept to extrapolate the instructions to all other social bookmarking/networking sites?
But, I have to say - glory alleluiah!!
Get yourself over to AddThis.com - you can click on their logo here - and within minutes you can have yourself a neat drop down button thingy (you can see it below) that does pretty much everything, tidies up your pages and offers you stats on its usage. What more can you ask?
I'm ridiculously excited and pathetically grateful. I just had to blog it and they're going in the book!
Happy, happy, happy.
