Social Bookmarking link guide

I saw The Blog 50 (via gapingvoid) the other day, they're having a bit of fun identifying and ranking the top 50 bloggers on a weekly basis. Amazingly, they say they get email from bloggers they "forgot"... think about it, who could feel they have a legitimate claim to be in the top 50 bloggers, and still take the time to chase a new, easy going blog ranking site?

Anyway, at the bottom of all their posts they include buttons to all the major tagging/social bookmarking sites. I saved the fragment of the page in case I needed it at some point, but then I figured the list would be a useful blog post. So, for reference, here are the links and icons if you want to add any submission buttons to your blog or articles.

Yahoo! MyWeb

- <a href="http://myweb2.search.yahoo.com/myresults/bookmarklet?t=PAGETITLE&u=PAGEURL" ><img alt="add to YahooMyWeb" src="IMAGEURL" /></a>

Fark

- <a href="http://cgi.fark.com/cgi/fark/edit.pl?new_url=PAGEURL&new_comment=PAGE TITLE&new_link_other=DOMAIN&linktype=CATEGORY" ><img alt="add to Fark" src="IMAGEURL" /></a>

Reddit

- <a
href="http://reddit.com/submit?url=PAGEURL&title=PAGETITLE" ><img alt="add to Reddit" src="IMAGEURL"></a>

Furl

- <a href="http://www.furl.net/storeIt.jsp?t=PAGETITLE&u=PAGEURL" ><img alt="add to Furl" src="IMAGEURL"></a>

Blinklist

- <a href="http://www.blinklist.com/index.php?action=Blink/addblink.php&Description=&Url=PAGEURL&Title=PAGETITLE" ><img alt="add to blinklist" src="IMAGEURL"></a>

Digg

- <a href="http://digg.com/submit?phase=2&url=PAGEURL"><img alt="digg it" src="IMAGEURL"></a>

Del.icio.us

- <a href="http://del.icio.us/post?url=PAGEURL&title=PAGETITLE"><img alt="add to del.icio.us" src="IMAGEURL"></a>

Replace PAGETITLE with the best title or description for the page, PAGEURL with the url, and IMAGEURL with the location of the image file you want to use for the link. You could also replace the entire <img> element with text if you want a more descriptive link. To make life a little easier, I've put all the images used above in this zip file.

The Fark code has a link_other and a link_type option; I've just followed the lead from the blog 50 and suggested you use your DOMAIN and CATEGORY.

Here are my working examples:-

And here's the full sample code:-
