Adding “AddThis” links to BlogEngine.net

1. December 2010

It would probably be best to write an extension for this but in the meantime do this. In the themes folder go to the theme you are currently using for your blog. In this folder open the user control PostView.ascx and then go to the bookmarks DIV. Comment out the rel=”nofollow” tag and replace it with the code generated by AddThisas shown below:

<!-- AddThis Button BEGIN JH DEC 2010
        -->
        <div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style ">
        <a href="http://www.addthis.com/bookmark.php?v=250&amp;username=xa-4cf6b59760c9be73" class="addthis_button_compact">Share</a>
        <span class="addthis_separator">|</span>
        <a class="addthis_button_preferred_1"></a>
        <a class="addthis_button_preferred_2"></a>
        <a class="addthis_button_preferred_3"></a>
        <a class="addthis_button_preferred_4"></a>
        </div>
        <script type="text/javascript" src="http://s7.addthis.com/js/250/addthis_widget.js#username=xa-4cf6b59760c9be73"></script>
        <!-- AddThis Button END -->
