You’ve probably seen them, hell, I even have them here on Blazing Minds, I’m talking about social network share buttons.

Nearly every blog you visit has them these days and though us bloggers do love to have them on our blogs for those kind enough to click on to share a bit of love and Stumble, ReTweet, Digg, Like ……….. and the list goes on.

As you will see, here on Blazing Minds I have the SexyBookmarks plugin at the bottom of the blog post where readers can share the post they are enjoying on a selection of sites for others to find and also share and though there is a choice there to choose from I was wondering what sites people use the most and which ones are worth having which are not.

So when you’ve finished reading this bloggy post, check out the buttons and use the ones you are listed with, then leave me a comment letting me know which ones you think you would remove, which ones you would like to see and why, then I can take a look to see what are more popular than others.

I have tried to add the popular ones that I use such as Twitter, BlogEngage, StumbleUpon, Digg, Ping.fm and so on, but I’d love my readers input

Now I’ve been blogging on Blazing Minds for over a year now, though I had a bit of a slow start and didn’t usually get that many comments back and my earlier blog posts where somewhat short and far between, over the past year my blogging has improved, so I would like to take the opportunity to give some blogging tips to you all on what I’ve personally learned.

1. Write informative blog posts.
   Even if they are just about what you did in the day, show that whatever you did you have a bit of knowledge about it.
2. Write as you!
   When you typing out your blog post, type it out as if you are talking to someone and write as you would talk with all you little quirks that you would normally have when talking to someone.

So you’ve just read a blog post and you think to yourself, wow that was interesting or maybe it was funny or you would just like to tell your friends what you have read.

But do you take advantage of the buttons that the majority of blogs, including this one, have at the bottom of the blog posts?

Most would probably say no, which is a real shame as clicking on these buttons or links helps a blogger get their post out to more people by you, the reader, simply ReTweeting, Digging or posting the information out on the many social networks that are out there!

So if you are reading a blog post and see links to social networks that you belong to then take the time to click on them and spread the word, you would be surprised how this help bloggers out.

I visit a few blogs and do ReTweet and Digg posts that I enjoy reading, most of the time if you Tweet a post with the ReTweet buttons on a blog post you will get a tweet back for the blogger saying thank you for the RT, which will in turn add to your conversation for your tweets.

Also by submitting posts to social networks will usually help you out by showing others what you enjoy reading etc and this will usually build up your followings on the social networks such as Twitter.

So remember, if there are social networks buttons or links of a blog post, click them and spread the love for the blogs you are reading
