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 WordPress Plugin
For those who do not want to mess with the coding of the theme can download Google Buzz wordpress plugin developed by ClickOnF5
- Download Google Buzz wordpress plugin from here.
- Unzip and upload the plugin to your plugins folder.
- Activate the plugin from Plugins dashboard.
- Now you can see Google Buzz button at the bottom of your posts on single pages.
The image used in this button is hosted on Pict. You should download and upload it to your own server for faster loading. So, this was a little tutorial to show how to add Google Buzz button to WordPress blog.

The Google Buzz button is looking nice on your theme 🙂
This only works on self-hosted wordpress.org blogs, right? I don’t see how to do this on my wordpress.com blog.
Nope. Won’t work there unless you can edit your files which means you have a paid plan.

Buzz will shock the world soon. I think that people will try to do it because our society is always after the newer and more fresh solutions and people expectations are that the new product will give them something other than the old one (not necessary better, just new).
@ MArtin : i dont see the shock , google buzz is dead … every google attempt to socialize [like orkut , buzz] has failed ….
Sourish
It is always better to add code manually to our blog instead of using plugin and why you have not added buzz button to your blog?

I will add it soon dude
Thanks for sharing. This will definitely help us till Google don’t give official support to such applications/plugins.

This looks worthwhile. Does anyone use the “digg this” button anymore? The RT button has replaced it. Will the “buzz this” button replace the RT button, or will they be concomitant?
You are right retweet button has replaced digg button but still most of the users are using digg button as digg is somehow different than Twitter and Google Buzz. Digg sends a huge traffic when your post hits the digg FP. That’s the best part that I like about digg.
Thanks for this.. will have to try it out! XD

Google Buzz is an interesting idea, but I’m not sure if I’ll jump on this bandwagon. I think it would be a little more resourceful if you could post to your accounts from Buzz.

I’ve been looking at this issue and wondering if it’s really going to be buzz or bust. Have you been getting traffic from using the plugin? Just curious since I already have a thousand plugins running and am trying to avoid more but I love Google.

I’m not using Google Buzz button at present. If you are using lots of plugins already then you should add it manually
If you skipped over the tiny buzz icon I made, it’s there in the link. If anyone needs a different size or anything just ask. We’re here to help! 🙂

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 🙂
Very useful post, I have been looking the way to add the google buzz button into my blog.
Just bookmarked this very useful blog! Great Job!

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 ?
Sadly Google Buzz is no more there!
