With the abundance of social networks, the Internet space is becoming more and more interactive, and therefore today most websites have buttons for the most common social networks, with the help of which site visitors can quickly and efficiently save the information they like and share it with friends. Placing such buttons on the site will make your project more visited, popular and modern - the more people use your buttons, the more recognizable your website will become.
Instructions
Step 1
It's easy to host social media buttons. One of the ways to do this is to use the Yandex search engine, which provides webmasters with the opportunity to select and configure a button for a social network - Vkontakte, Facebook, Odnoklassniki, Twitter, MoiMir and others are available.
Step 2
Go to the corresponding page in Yandex, where you will select the buttons that you can share with your friends. Copy the HTML code of the button and paste it into your site.
Step 3
If your site is built on the WordPress engine, use either the suggested option, or use a special plugin that installs social media buttons on WordPress sites. The plugin can be downloaded online, and after downloading it must be unzipped.
Step 4
Open the Share Buttons folder, which contains the plugin files, copy the entire folder and install it on your site server in the wp-contentplugins directory. Go to the admin section, open the Plugins tab and activate the Share Buttons plugin that appears in the list. Configure all buttons and click Finish.
Step 5
Installing a Twitter button on your website is very simple - go to tweetmeme.com and find the section to configure and install the retweet button for your site. Specify any button location you like and copy the code of the regular or compact button for retweet.
Step 6
In order to install the Google Buzz button on the site, open the site of this social feed and also select the code of the button that suits you to install it on the desired page of the site. The same principle is used to install buttons for Facebook, which can be copied on the page for developers.
Step 7
If the ready-made icons offered by the sites do not suit you in design or do not fit the layout of your web page, create your own icons in Photoshop and substitute the new images in the source code of the social media buttons.
