FACEBOOK GAK
Now here is a topic where I could use a little help – and this is only version 1 as I jump through the hoops, wrestle with the facebook API and Germanic plugins, wish that a facebook page could be a standalone without being tied to my personal facebook page – it’s tooooo ranty! If you think this webdev blog is ranty, you should see my personal fb – *blush*!
So far, I’m mostly working down this list of “6 best facebook WordPress plugins”.
I have installed the FACEBOOK CONNECTOR plugin, but it’s not quite what I had in mind.
More later, because so far, quite frankly, I have nothing to recommend.
I think I’m liking my facebook page badge best right now (just generate that right on facebook).
Comments welcome!
TWITTER GAK
Not sure how many people use the word ‘gak’ but I’m fond of it as a catchall phrase for widgets, gadgets, badges, plugins, what-have you.
Mashable is so awesome – he has an article with 20 different twitter badges – you’re bound to find something you like on this page. Nice illustrations too, not just a boring list of links (like this – so far – but I’ll beef this up soon enough!)
Here is my favourite twitter thang so far, and I’ve currently plopped it into my sidebar: the twitterati badge. Mine of course is pink 
That’s actually a bit much for most sites – if you want just a simple “follow me” type of badge, you can’t beat this ultra-simple (and downright cute) twitter button generator: TwitterMySite
More to come on this one, but that’s it for now!
