Version 1.0

• Initial release

Installation

1. Upload the entire simple-buzz-link folder to your wp-content/plugins/ directory.
2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress.
3. There is no options screen – configuration is done in your code.

Configuration

The code for Simple Buzz Link should be added to the bottom of appropriate post/page templates within your theme (and in the case of posts, within the loop).

Simple Buzz Link simply returns a URL – this URL is a link to Google Reader with your post/page URL within it – assuming the user has Google Reader linked to Buzz (which it does by default), it will appear.

Here’s an example of how to implement it…

<a href="<?php simple_buzz_link(''); ?>">Send to Google Buzz</a>

This will display the text “Send to Google Buzz” on your page/post. When clicked, it will take you to Google Reader.

The only parameter is a URL – however, if this is left blank the current URL will automatically be used.

The following is an example of how it could be used, with a function_exists check so that it doesn’t cause problems if the plugin is not active…

<?php if (function_exists('simple_buzz_link')) : ?>
<a href="<?php simple_buzz_link(''); ?>">Send to Google Buzz</a>
<?php endif; ?>
