- Free Slideshow Maker - Add a picture slideshow of your posts and link them to their individual pages with this nifty little gadget. Terrific for blogs or sites where you're showcasing photos like food blogs, art and photography sites, or online galleries.
- Wibiya - have you noticed the social bar at the bottom of my blog? It remains there no matter where you are on any page. This nifty little bar comes courtesy of Wibiya.com and you can add all your social tools plus any badges you want to for your own blog. It's handles Twitter, Facebook MySpace, LinkedIn, Digg, YouTube, and so many more apps all in one place! I stuck with the FREE version even though you can upgrade to the paid version.
- Ping-O-Matic - a great resource to use when you make changes to your blog and you want all the search engines to reflect those changes. It takes too much time to go to every site and update them manually so let Ping-O-Matic do it for you!
- Ping.fm - with all the social media sites around, how do you let them all know your updates or recent posts? Ping.fm can help you there, just plug in all the social sites you use like Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc., and Ping.fm will post your update to all your sites at one time! You can even create lists so that you can have Ping.fm only update certain social sites on your account. For instance, you may want Ping to update your Twitter and Facebook page but not your LinkedIn page!
- LinkWithin - wonderful way to show previous posts from your blog to get your viewers to visit more of your pages. It shows thumbnails of how many posts you want it to display at one time and it posts those underneath every post with a link to that specific page.
- PrintFriendly - Ever want to give your readers a way to print your individual posts? This works really well with recipe blogs where you get a printer friendly version and you can leave in the photo or take it out and just print the post. The button to add is an easy code that works for Blogger, Wordpress, or even a plain website!
- Tweetdeck - If you do a LOT of social networking between several Twitter accounts, or Facebook, you might find this little gadget very handy. It can handle several twitter accounts, allow you to see yours and your followers' tweets, your mentions, retweets, and even pull in your Facebook fan page and LinkedIn too in one interface.
