It works by adding icon images below each of your blog posts that, when clicked, sends your blog post details to either TimesURL, Muti, Facebook and more. == Installation == 1. Unzip the timesurlat-sociable-plugin.zip file. 2. Upload the the timesurlat-sociable-plugin folder (not just the files in it!) in your /wp-contents/plugins/ directory. If you're using FTP, use 'binary' mode. 3. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress. 4. By default only a few sites are activated when you install the plugin but you can activate many more social bookmarking sites by visiting the 'TimesURL Sociable' settings page in your 'Options' menu in WordPress. == Upgrade == 1. Deactivate the TimesURL.at Sociable plugin in the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress. 2. Unzip the timesurlat-sociable-plugin.zip file. 3.

To heavily customize the display, use the admin panel to turn off the display on all pages, then add calls to your theme files: // This is optional extra customization for advanced users `` // all active sites `` // only these sites if they are active == Frequently Asked Questions == = What makes this plugin different to Peter Harkins Sociable plugin? = The fundamental difference between the two is that this plugin has been customised for South Africa. All the popular South African sites have been prioritised first with the option to activate other International sites thereafter. This version has also been stripped down considerably to be more light-weight. = I found a bug, where do I report it? = Please report any bugs [here](http://timesurl.at/contact/). == Screenshots == 1. The first screenshot shows how the icons appear below a blog post. 2. The second screenshot displays all the options in the WordPress 'Options' menu. == Credits == This plugin is based on [Peter Harkins Sociable](http://push.cx/sociable) plugin and is licensed under the terms of the GNU General Public License. == History == * 2008-04-04 = Added support for WordPress 2.5 * 2008-02-14 = Added SA Blogger. * 2008-02-14 = Converted plugin to work with WordPress plugin repository.
