The latest widget I’ve added to version 3.0 is Social Media, which also played a big part for my decision to use f0101 theme. It comes prepackaged with f0101. I like its position on WooThemes’ demo page, so I just mirrored its position on the bottom right of the widgetized footer area.

On version 2.0, the concept for Social Media links was to put them all in one separate page. While it’s still possible to do it on version 3.0, I think a widget in footer (or sidebar) area can come handy. For one thing, it’ll show up in every pages on the web site, hence driving up traffic and improving retention (so the theory goes). Plus, the customized button design is so neat.

Sure thing there will be several links down there, but I’ll start with my Flickr. Flickr is a photo-sharing site similar to Google’s own Picasa. I have joined Flickr since 2004, but until now have only uploaded 3 photos. I have lots of photos, mind you, as my former colleagues can attest. It’s just that photo capturing and photo uploading are two different interests I guess, requiring similar level of enthusiasm to make Flickr works. Well, let’s hope it’ll change, or will it?
