I always recommend that WordPress Bloggers (especially Authors) activate ‘Publicize’ so their posts are automatically uploaded to their media pages (but they will need to have accounts there)

ALSO, add every available share button that WP offer.

These buttons can then be used by their visitors, regardless of whether or not the posting bloggers themselves have accounts in the various media.

This enables visitors, like me, to share and spread their posts further – for Authors especially, this increases their marketing range A LOT.

One button that is not offered by WP is StumbleUpon, but you can add your own (and possibly others), by following this  Step-by-Step guideline article by Michael A Rios

Last night I ran across a Blog that had a StumbleUpon button on their Blog so that people could share their work if that wanted to do so.

I was like how is that possible, WordPress got rid of that. So research I did. Then I ran across Debby Gies’s Google Plus Page where she shared an article about “The Power of StumbleUpon” which I read, then I was like SOB! So there I am at my desk just shaking my head.

So, if you would like to put a StumbleUpon button on your Blog, then follow these simple steps.

Go to your Dashboard,

Then settings

Then click on Sharing.

Locate

Add a new Service

When you click on “Add a new service”

A new popup window will open

Service Name: Enter Stumble Me (if feeling like a smart butt)

Sharing URL: Copy the below URL…
