    Japansoc Soc it! Button

    That’s right, here’s the newly designed Japansoc.com “Soc it!”  button which I was working on :), and better yet, the plugin is available for Wordpress for an easy install! But how do you use it, why, what’s Japansoc and how can you benefit?

    But what is JapanSoc anyway?

    Say you have a blog and you like to write about Japan-related stuff, be it traveling, pictures, language, otaku subculture… anything! You take your time to take some nice pictures of Japan castles and temples, write about your experience, but now what? How do you get people to know about your content? Well, Japansoc.com is the place to promote your good Japan-related content! You basically submit your article, and readers who like your content will soc it (vote). If you get enough votes, you’ll be in the front page and ensure tons of visitors ^^

    On the other hand, if you’re interested in the latest Japan news but don’t know where to start, you should join too — you’ll get used to it quickly — and it’s addictive!

    The JapanSoc soc it! button can be easily included in any of your posts — if you don’t feel like putting the button in every single post (I don’t), you should include it in posts that you submit to JapanSoc, for example take a look at my Asakusa post, 18 19 socs, not bad!

    If your regular readers find your posts interesting you can invite them to soc it! and what better way than to include this neat button?

    Installing the Soc it! button

    If you’re using Wordpress, just install it as any other plugin: In your dashboard, go to Plugins > Add New:

    Japansoc Soc it! Button

    Look for “japansoc” and hit search. (Hopefully!) the official Japansoc soc it! plugin will show up first. Install it, and don’t forget to activate it!

    Japansoc Soc it! Usage

    Usage can’t be more simple — you’re probably using the Wordpress Rich Text editor. To insert the button, go to HTML editing mode by clicking on the HTML tab:

    jaJapan Soc it! Button

    On the HTML editor, simply click on the JSoc-L or JSoc-R buttons and the code <!–japansocleft–> or <!–japansocright–> will be automatically inserted (you can type it manually too). In my case, the button appears on the left side, but you can include it on the right side if you want! Don’t forget to return to Visual mode to continue writing =)

    Anyway, whether you’re a Japansoc’er or not, I hope you can benefit from this button to bring in more visitors — don’t be shy, we don’t bite! (Oh, and don’t forget to soc me! ^^)
