AddToBookmarks.com Script Updated to Version 1.1
I've released version 1.1 of the AddToBookmarks.com script. It doesn't have any new features, just a few fixes and changes. For those who are using this script, I suggest you upgrade to the new version.
Updates In Version 1.1
Fixed a CSS issue in the horizontal layout, it's now set to a fixed size.
Updated both the Google and Furl bookmark links.
Fixed a Safari browser issue - the popup/timer needed to be addressed a different way.
Not Sure what AddToBookmarks is?
The AddToBookmarks Javascript is easy to use, and it helps get your blog or site on the top social bookmarking sites, by making it easier for people to bookmark your site or page.
How AddToBookmarks Works
User clicks on a link or icon, this passes the link's ID to the script. There, the URL page's TITLE are extracted dynamically by Javascript, then built into the Social Bookmarking site request. Depending on how you set the method,either a popup window will open with the site, or the user will be sent off to the Social Bookmarking site. Once the bookmark is added, the user is sent back to your site. If you used the popup window method, the script would then notice that the popup is displaying your site, then close it, so the user can continue browsing from where they were. If you used the direct method, the user will be sent back to the originating page in the same browser.

AddToBookMarks Features
Multiple Layouts - The AddToBookmarks script currently comes in four layouts, allowing you to select what works best for your use. To set or change the layout, simply alter a variable. See below for more information.
Add To Methods - While I suggest you use the 'direct' method for linking, you also have the option of using a popup for the social bookmarking sites.
Single Version - Adding the single version to your site is easy. It's designed to be used where you only need one AddToBookmarks displayed per page. For example, if you want to add this to your Website, the Single Standard Version is what you want to use. See below for more information.
Multi Version - If you are adding the AddToBookmarks script to your blog, you may want to set it up so you output a version of AddToBookmarks per each blog posting. This would allow visitors to add each post of yours to their Social Bookmarking site. This version will require you to do more work, but if you are considering this version, it should be a snap to setup. All you need to know is how to output the URL and TITLE of your blog posts in the language you use (CFML, PHP, ASP, JSP, etc.).
Demos - The zip file contains demos so you can get started quickly. Each layout, version, documentation, icons and license included.
