In an effort to explore the question of “Do you have social media icons with links on your website or blog?” I set up this poll. I am hoping we can all gain from the information.
The poll will be open for one week. If you could also answer the question about your background, that would helpful as well.

Loading ...Upcoming: a slideshow of social media icons on various websites or blogs. Feel free to submit a link to your site, if you wish me to include it in the slideshow. Also, if you have a linked icon to social media not included in this poll, please mention it in your comments. I didn’t want the poll to get too long.
For those wanting more explanation: A social media icon is an image that represents a social media site, with Facebook and Twitter being the two most popular. Users are encouraged to click on them to connect and to gain more information about a person, business or organization. These two polls were created with a plugin called WP-Polls.

I realize that there is no “none of the above” button.

Good point. The object of the poll is to find out *which* social media buttons people are using, as opposed to *whether.* I suppose “none of the above” could be answered with a comment.

I started the blog over on LiveJournal. It started out as a personal blog about dressing tznius and being about to express yourself. Now, it’s mushrooming into something bigger so I had to jump to wordpress.
All the best,

Thank you for responding to the poll, Ariella.
Leora, we have only a “share’ button on our website. I need a button that links the website to our FB fan page. Where do I get this Button?
Tikva,
Facebook does have an annoying way of hiding information like that and then stipulating many rules. Here’s the link:

I have never read that. Can you be more specific? Sounds like a strange idea to me. Social media icons are all over the place now. Perhaps you should just put a “nofollow” in the tag for the links…that could be what they meant?
I am surprised no one is using Digg.
