Earlier this month, I answered the question, What is Social Bookmarking? At the time, JohnnyCoder.com provided hand-coded links to only two sites: Del.icio.us and Digg. Since then, I discovered Cal Evan’s WP-Notable Plugin and, as you can see, the number of links to social bookmarking and networking sites has increase a bit.

WP-Notable is configurable to display any of the links below.

Each of the icons can be turned on or off and you can customize the character that go between the images. Additionally, the plugin generates a tooltip for each icon so you can prepend text to this tooltip to help your user identify exactly what clicking on the icon will do. The plugin is easy to install and the code which is generated validates with most common HTML validators.

This plugin saved me from writing a good amount of cumbersome code. Feel free to try it out.
