Wait! It’s not what it sounds like, trust me! This past weekend, I decided to give my site a little face-lift, and as a result, I perused through the WP plugin site. I stumbled upon this new plugin called, “SexyBookmarks.” Now, I’m not going to lie. When I first saw the name of the plugin, I had no idea what to expect. However, it has quickly turned into one of my favorite WordPress plugins! I am on many social media sites, and most of the people who read my blog, are too. “SexyBookmarks” functionality and flow is probably the best out of any plugins that try to accomplish the same purpose. It allows you to put a list of several social networking sites on top of every post, which in turn allows the reader to share the post with his or her social network on any of the several sites listed! The best part, is that it takes just one click, for the reader to share the post. We all know, that people may want to share your post with others, however, you want to make it as simple as possible because if it takes multiple steps, chances are the reader will not end up sharing it. It also allows you to add a background image to hover over the site options, so that you can add a seamlessly little bit of personality to your blog.

Here’s the link to the plugin: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/sexybookmarks/

This past weekend, I attended WordCamp Miami. It was the first time I had ever attended a WordCamp, but I can tell you that it won’t be the last time I attend one! I really don’t have anything negative to say about the experience. The sessions were great, the people were friendly, and the amount of information that was spewed was unmatched to anything that I’ve ever seen before. I actually chose to stay on the Social Media Track the entire day, because I felt like that was what applied most to what I do and plan to do in the future. It was a great choice, and I’ve already been able to implement several things that I learned this past weekend. If you ever have the chance to ever make it to a WordCamp, I would HIGHLY recommend that you check it out. You won’t regret, I know I didn’t!
