Its been a day since Google Buzz launched publicly, but given that it works inside of gmail, there is already a huge user base. You might have a “Digg This” or “Tweet This” button on your blog or site, but now you need a “Buzz This” button.

TechCrunch created their own “Buzz it” button and posted a link to the code in the comments. Its easy to add to any wordpress site (or really any other content management system. The following steps will show you how to add a “Buzz This” link to your site, like the one above on the BlinkTag Blog.

• Open the single.php file of your sites template. You can do this via FTP or in WordPress by going to “Appearance” -> “Editor” and selecting single.php.
• Paste the following code where you would like the Buzz It button to appear. If you are not sure where, the line right before or after <?php the_content(); ?> is a good place.

<a href="javascript:var%20b=document.body;var%20GR________bookmarklet_domain=&quot;http://www.google.com&quot;;if(b&amp;&amp;!document.xmlVersion){void(z=document.createElement(&quot;script&quot;));void(z.src=&quot;http://www.google.com/reader/ui/link-bookmarklet.js&quot;);void(b.appendChild(z));}else{}">
<img src="http://IMAGE HERE" border="0" alt="Share on Google Buzz" /> Share on Google Buzz</a>

• Replace http://IMAGE HERE with the URL of your image, or remove the image code entirely to have a text only link. If you want, take this 16×16 Buzz Logo image: but please copy it to your site, don’t link directly the image hosted on BlinkTag.
• Save the single.php file. Test it out on an individual posts page on your site.
• This same process can be in used in page.php or any other template file to add a Buzz link to your WordPress pages.

Respond in the comments if you come up with a better way to accomplish this. If you liked this post, please Buzz it!
