By Eugenio García from Artech fotoIf we look at the websites that we browse to read news, blogs and all kinds of contents, we can see that they give us the possibility to share what we're reading with our friends on Facebook, or our followers on Twitter, Google Buzz and a large number of social networks and social bookmarking tools.
This gives us the possibility to recommend readings to people we know, thus increasing the probability that someone in our network of connections is interested in reading them. In this way, they are spread over the network, which becomes a very effective way of making something known on today's Web.
What we want to achieve is displayed on the image below; that is to say, we want to have these buttons that allow us to share what we're viewing through social networks.
In order to do this with GXportal, we can create a free HTML where we place the parts of HTML code indicated below, joining them to obtain what's displayed in the above image. Next, we use the free HTML GXportlet that can be inserted in the page that will be used to expand contents or that can be used in the website's templates so that these buttons are always displayed on all the website's pages.

GXportal blog.
