So a few weeks ago
I had seen other blogs in my readings, which contained strikingly similar bits after each post.
“Bookmark this story with”
Below that they had links to the linking and tagging sites, such as del.icio.us and digg.com.

After some thinking I decided I wanted something like this for my Wordpress blog feed, and I did some easy modifications by hand to my RSS feed template which provided similar results.

Then again today in my reading I see those same linky things on another blog, and I think to myself, I need to find this plugin or whatever.

Doing a search on Google, for;
Wordpress “bookmark this story with” plugin

Really didn’t lead me to the prize yet. Apparently blogs use this great plugin, so there are plenty of results. 250.

I went to one of the sites on the list, and proceeded to view the html source of the site, to see if there was any other identifiable material on this possible plugin. In the source was a div class named sociable. Ah HA!. Plugged this into the codex search, and viola! The 2nd entry yielded good results.

Sociable, the latest version at the moment is 1.2 released 2006.03.26

Of course after I installed the plugin, I noticed you can change the text above the image links, and of course it wasn’t the same text I had searched for. Searching for ‘wordpress “Share and Enjoy:” plugin‘ had way more results, about 102,000, and also in the #3 position was the homepage for the plugin I was searching for.

Hopefully this post will help others find the wordpress plugin I tried so hard to find.

[update] Also of note is the original author’s wordpress plugin page.
