    I've noticed code getting mangled when I've tried to copy and paste too. I hope this works.

    This is a little section from function my_postfooter(). Please note that it's not super-pretty because I have a load of no-breaking spaces. I use css background sprites (using a custom span class) instead of normal image links. See what I mean here. (I have since learned there is a cleaner way to do this.)

    Please also note that the code I found on that website doesn't validate. Replace the ampersand and em-dash with the html code. Actually, before I did this, it broke my entire site layout in IE.

    $postfooter .= '<span class="icon-twitter"><a href="http://twitter.com/home?status=' . get_the_title() . '-' . apply_filters('the_permalink', get_permalink()) . '" title="share on twitter" target="_blank">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</a></span>';
           $postfooter .= '<span class="meta-sep">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</span>' ;
           $postfooter .= '<span class="icon-fb"><a href="http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=' . apply_filters('the_permalink', get_permalink()) . '&amp;t='  . get_the_title() . '" title="share on facebook" target="blank">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</a></span>' ;

    @helgatheviking:
    Thanks :) i like your Site too, hehe and also the subject of fitness.

    @Jonny:
    I'm a Noob so, i don't know :) how efficient my way is.

    I have a Noob question, about this Code above, since i am working with Copy&Paste method:
    I don't understand what is the purpose of the second Part of the Function, there where you write the second time Function and end it with Return. And why you are creating something like "$xxx"?

    have a nice day!

    thanks! the weight training site is mostly defunct, though i wish i would revive it, but i've gotten so busy w/ theme development.

    your code will come in handy and save me having to look it up myself. to answer your newb question- that is just how filters work. in WP and in thematic there are spots that say apply_filters('filter_name',$variable); basically you return a value and that variable changes the value of the variable before the function is run. i hope that makes sense... had a little whiskey earlier.

    Hi Jonny,

    I'm using addthis and want to insert it to postfooter meta. Using your code gave me good results except one problem - all icons are at the next line after meta. How to add it to the same line?
