wplogo-stacked-rgb Since I tend to write mostly about web design and development, sometimes people like to "bump" or "vote" for articles. Sociable currently only has the DZone and DesignFloat links by default. So here's how you can add DesignBump, Vot.eti.me, and FriendFeed links and icons to Sociable.

DesignBump

  1. Save the icon: design bump and copy it to sociable/images/directory.
  2. Open sociable.php.
  3. Find the array called $sociable_known_sites.
  4. Copy / paste the code below [sourcecode language='php'] 'Design Bump' => Array( 'favicon' => 'designbump.png', 'url' => 'http://designbump.com/node/add/drigg?url=PERMALINK&title=TITLE', ),[/sourcecode]
  5. Save the file.

Vot.eti.me

  5. Save the file.

FriendFeed
