Okay, this is a quick video to show you how to integrate stumble upon with your blog. This video as always will be on thatforward.com videos along with the other stumble upon and other videos.
Okay, we got a stumble upon profile setup. We stumble a few sites. We can now add a stumble upon bar our blog. Now what I am going to do is on my blog tactics blog. I am going to add a bar t in here somewhere linking to my stumble upon profile so people can go and see what the sites I have stumble on.
You do not actually need to add something here for people to stumble your blog or your blog post. That can be done using the ‘share this,’ add in which is very easy to get if you do a search for ‘share this’ add in on plug-in on word press. Then you will find that and just install that plug-in.
I am going to put link to on blogtactics.com as well so you could find it from there. But what you will do is click on the icon here. It will bring out the whole list of options. One of them is stumble upon. Now if I click on that, it will basically fill in the details I need to because I am already log on to my stumble account. All I need to do is put in the review, so put in description of one reviewing this particular site or post. Click on some tags, I will put some tags in, decide whether it is adult or not and then submit that site.
So it very, very easy for people to stumble your sites, providing you have got to share this plug in, add it your word press blog.
However, what I am going to do in this video is show you to how to add in a little button or icon here. So you can share your stumbles with other people. What we need to do is go to our stumble on account and if we scroll right down to the bottom. There is a button for two or link for tools and buttons. So simply click on that and I want to link to your profile to my profile. And I am going to choose this button here. So I am just going to copy this particular bit of code. And I need to go to my blog and login and go the Admin area ‘presentation theme editor’ which I have already brought up. And on this particular theme, if you got widget enabled, it is even easy because you can put back code into a text widget and move the widget wherever you want to. Now, this is not widget enabled.
If you want to get some things that are nice widget enable if you were to press blog, go to blogtacttics.com because I have just added some new things today or I will be within the day or two.
So here, I need to go to presentation theme editor and when it comes up. I want to go the site bar and if we get back to the blog, I am going to put mine in just above or just below—in fact the advert for IM guerilla, so I need to find that advert in the code here. Here it is, IM guerilla, so what I will do is you return and paste that code in there. Okay, then scroll down and click on update file, and once it is updated, we go back to the blog and if we click on refresh that should now appear down here. Just text ‘send to’ to refresh and there we go—stumble upon.
Okay, now that is not actually centered. What I can do is if I go back, you will notice in this code, there is the code to actually center it which is this bit here ‘div a line center,’ I copy and paste that above and the closing div statement, copy and paste that bellow. Okay and then again just click on update file. That will then center that as soon it is updated.
We can go back, click on refresh. Again refresh the blog and once it comes up. There we go, it is not quite centered. It is opposite big graphic, but there we go. People can click on that and go trough to my stumble upon account and see what the blogs, what are the sites I stumble upon, okay. Very, very quick and easy to do, this video along with others is on thatforward.com videos.
