Posted in Wordpress by Alex | Tags: rss, twitter, wordpress widgets
In my opinion having a successful blog is all about connecting with others and establishing great reader relationships. We got Twitter, Facebook, Digg and so many other networking systems that we can use and share our stories. Many of successful bloggers try and connect their blog visitors to their social account trough widgets on their blog. My question is how do the best “Connect to me” WordPress widgets look like. Here is a list of successful social widgets people have on their blog.

A very elegant blog widget illustrating where you can connect with John O’Nolan. He got about 5500 Twitter followers so I think it is performing very good.

Thanks very much for including me
The widget which I use is called “social links” for wordpress, it isn’t the best plugin in the world, but it does the job!
