After reading “Aiding the Atheist Blogroll” on A Division by Zer0, it dawned on me that only a handful of people really use Atheist Spot for their social bookmarking. It’s such a waste of a good resource. I figure I could help out. Now, I’m no expert on these things and probably won’t cover all the bases, but for those of you who use WordPress and are currently running or would like to run the Sociable Social Bookmarking Plugin, here’s a few easy steps for adding an Atheist Spot icon to your list (check out mine below).

1. Download and install Sociable, if you haven’t already done so.
2. Download the Atheist Spot icon by right clicking on this link and selecting “save image as” or whatever similar option your browser provides.
3. Upload the image to your host under the wp-content/plugins/sociable/images directory or whichever directory you saved Sociable into.
4. Now, find the file in wp-content/plugins/sociable/ called sociable.php and edit that.
5. Find the line that says “$sociable_known_sites = Array(”.
6. Add this right after it:
   

   ‘AtheistSpot’ => Array(’favicon’ => ‘atheist_spot.png’,'url’ => http://www.atheistspot.com/submit.php?url=PERMALINK’,),

7. Find the line that says “$sociable_files = Array(”.
8. Add this right after it:
   

   ‘images/atheist_spot.png’,

9. Save the file and upload it.
10. On your WordPress admin panel, go to Settings > Socialbe and activate Atheist Spot.
11. You’re good to go.

I hope this helps.
