Social Media widgets and viral buttons are everywhere.  But I’ve never seen 2 more powerful buttons than these.  Here are step-by-step instructions how to create these beauties on your blog posts:

There are many reasons these are so great:

• They’re BIG!

• They link to the BIG BOYS! (twitter and facebook)

• Most importantly, they do all the work for your reader.

Take a look what happens when you select the buttons.  They open a new page and prefill your status on Twitter or Facebook with a link to the post.  All your reader has to do is press “Enter” and you will get virally posted to your all your readers friends.

These are easy to use.  Simply Copy and paste this code into your blog post.

CAUTION: You will need to edit the twitter message and the facebook url, or your buttons will post right back to me!  Yes, I would love that, and thank you kindly, but the idea is to make this work for you.  The twitter code gets a little cumbersome substituting “+” between words and a couple other codes like %22 for ” “, %3A for “:” and %2F for “/” in the link.  Don’t worry, after a couple of times, you’ll get the hang of it.  Just open up a notepad file and make the changes.
