In my last post, I posted about Google Buzz, a new social tool by Google. If you are still unaware of Google Buzz, you can read about it here. Famous tech blogs Mashable and TechCrunch already started adding the Google Buzz buttons into their posts. Now you can also add Buzz this button to your WordPress blog.
To make this button work, your Google reader account must be connected with Google Buzz account. If you already have a Google reader account then it must be already connected with your Google Buzz account.
Manually Add Google Buzz Button to WordPress blog
- Login to your WordPress dashboard.
- Now go to Theme editor and open the single.php file.
- Copy and paste the following code in single.php file where you want the button to appear :
<a href="http://www.google.com/reader/link?url=<?php the_permalink() ?>&title=<?php the_title(); ?>&srcURL=<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>" target="_blank" rel="nofollow external"><img src="http://img2.pict.com/15/da/3e/2809374/0/googlebuzz.png" width="50" height="58" alt="" /></a> - Click on Update file button.

google buzz has also become important for blog traffic. Thanks for the code
Exactly what we were looking for. Not interested using plugin just to add that Google Buzz button. We added facebook share button also w/o installing plugin.
Thanks for sharing this.
I have found that since adding a Google Buzz plugin to my website my articles / posts do not get Buzz’d as much as re-tweeted, but I guess it is nice to have more exposure to the world.
I agree in some respects that Google Buzz could become a genuine social platform in the future, but will it just become more of a news feed like Digg? :/. I wish I could jump in to the future to find out.
btw there is also another sharing button called “add to any” which also make it easier to share any article to any famous bookmarking websites! lets just say all in one .whenever cursor over it another menu will appear that allows us choose to many famous bookmarking website like Google buzz,S’upon,Digg,Reddit,prop,ff,fb,retwit, etc. Thanks

I use this Google tool for my blog earlier with a plugin in wordpress, and I feel it like a twitter thing.
after i change theme i did not get a change to use it, and have very few followers
love this. thanks a lot
Thanks for shearing this. I am trying to put together a list of buttons to put it on my blog.
Great Tutorial about adding Google Buzz Button. Thanks for this kind of useful info Simran….
I had it for a while but later on seems like Google failed to market this and now I don’t find it effective anymore and that’s why it’s removed from my essential bookmarking buttons. Though thanks for the post…..
Since, Now Google Plus Has Also Released. So According to You, Which is More Important PLus or Buzz ?
