Benjamin Reid is sharing a set of 81 social bookmarking icons named Social Media Bookmark Icon + where it is possible to find almost every social network.

The "+" in the name refers to the continuous additions being made to the set upon user requests.

Social Bookmark Icon Set

They come in 3 different sizes:

  • 16*16px
  • 32*32px
  • 122*42px (large buttons)

And, all icons are in PNG format.

Flash Bookmarks is a free Flash component for integrating social bookmarking links to any website easily.

It supports the most popular sites like Digg, Delicious, StumbleUpon, Technorati, Facebook, Google and Reddit.

Flash Social Bookmarking

The look & feel of the social bookmarking menu created with the component is totally customizable. It is possible to change:

  • the icons to be displayed
  • the size of the icons
  • the aspect of the hint text for the icons
  • details regarding the bookmarked data.

Flash Bookmarks can be both added by drag’n drops from the component panel of Flash or by code (AS3).

This is a good looking XHTML-CSS social bookmarking menu that can be used for promoting the content.

The menu (created from an unordered list) simply hides a portion of the social bookmaring icons & displays them when hovered.

XHTML Social Bookmark Menu

It is ready to be used for Wordpress blogs with the related tags defined but can be used on any website by updating the links.

It has all the major social bookmarking websites included.

P.S. It is the revisited version of this menu.

This is a free social bookmarking script that does not automatically inserts all the popular social bookmark links into your website.

It provides you the base & enables you to easily create/customize bookmarking links.

Social Bookmark Script

How to use it?

  • insert sbookmark.js to your webpages
  • call the function for the preferred bookmarking site like: <a href="#" onclick="sbs_delicious(); return false;">...</a> for delicious.com.

In short, it saves your time from learning the submission formats of each social bookmarking website.

In the download page there is also a social bookmarking images pack.

First of all, sorry that WRD had a downtime (around 8 hours) yesterday.

The post: 27 Adobe AIR Applications – Handy For Web Designers got pretty popular in most of the social-bookmarking / voting websites. I realized that the website was getting slower & about to take action on it. Then the post moved to frontpage at digg.com & I was not able to reach to server anymore.

Page Display Error

As the server was not responding, rebooted from the power-strip several times, got ping results but after sometime, reboots weren’t pinging.

Thanks to the hosting company that they reached the server & told that the server was not able to boot because of corrupt system file errors (confirmed via KVM).

A fresh OS is installed & they added the previous harddisk as a secondary one so I could get the data.

After setting up the server, here it is, WRD is back online.

Lessons learned:

  • Don’t underestimate the digg effect, it is really strong.
  • Don’t reboot a server via power-strip (several times).
  • Backup frequently (I’m good at this from past experiences).
  • Apply all of your own tips.
  • And maybe it is because the server is Windows, think about that.. : )

Hope that this post may help you to stay online.

    Drupal, which is one of the most powerful & free content management system has a new module named Drigg for creating Digg-like websites.

    Unlike other Drupal-based solutions, Drigg only needs:

    - VotingAPI — a powerful Voting API available for Drupal.
    - A voting form based on the VotingAPI. The forms of choice are provided by Extra Voting Forms.
    - The User Karma module.
