We've punted the idea around of broadening the reader base, and one of the better ideas was to start submitting things to the social bookmarking sites.
I've added two modules that will allow users to link posts directly (you'll have to log in via pop-up) to dozens of social bookmark sites.
When you are reading a post, you'll see the set of icons to the upper right.
The top row of icons is one module (
Social Bookmarks). The second module is a drop-down box that activates on mouse rollovers (
AddThis).
The "Social Bookmarks" mod is pretty straightforward. Just click on the icon of the social bookmarking site you want, and you'll be re-directed to the site's login page.
The "AddThis" mod is a little different, since it's a drop-down. When you move your mouse over the Share button, you'll automatically get a drop-down box.
There are about 18 sites listed (including e-mail the link, or adding it to your browser favorites). To see more, just click on the MORE link on the bottom right of the drop-down. You'll get a popup with all the available choices for that mod.
I'm keeping both modules up for the time being (probably until the end of April) so users can get a feel for them, if they want to use them at all. Then, I'll post a poll to determine which one is better according to the users, since we only need one mod for this.
