I'm using it now for the post pages and want to work it in the sidebar (hardcoded for HP) when I have a chance to fix the CSS. No worries on SU. Was just making sure I wasn't crazy. I actually read the SplitBrain post before coming here for a less involved solution. I think the counts are helpful for a little nudge, as long as they're not in big, ugly badges that distract from content. And thanks on BC. I did see that have an API that shows the field in XML. Again though, just a WL suggestion. I also want to try hardcoding ShareThis tracking (since I broke the most important few out of their widget). Luckily, you have a link encoding routine I can use to clean the format! Thanks for the response.

A few things: 1. I thought about making the link text customizable, but the problem was that introduced way too many things (variables) that had to be accounted for. You should however, be able to build your own link with combining the numbers, link url etc though html though. 2. SU stopped working. I meant to update this page with this info, but the thing is, SU doesn't have an API -- so it was a hack job anyway. 3. The next release should be much cleaner code and will include YouTube. Technorati is on the list, and I will definitely look into BlogCatalog for you... @.45 - Glad it is what you were looking for!

I got the data from about:config, but it shows nothing on any pages w/ reviews.. I'm glad to see a Technorati is planned. Would that be favs, or authority? Wishlist: 1.) It would be nice if there were a way to customize the link text rather than having to manually edit the php and replace all occurances, and have to remember to redo this on each update.. 2.) I would also love to be able to show a BlogCatalog rating. I hate those big js badges.(Technorati, BC, etc.) This was just what I was looking for to offer more customization than feedflare, but I can't get the SU one to work.

Visit the Splitbrain link in the Options -> WP SocialCount admin section in your wordpress install. @Delores - The AuthToken is taken from your installation of the SU toolbar.

Let me know if you find any bugs. I have been doing a lot of testing, but only on my own sites so far... @Joost - Thanks! Let me know if you find any bugs.
