How to Integrate Google Buzz to your WordPress Theme

Google Buzz is a new social media service introduced by Google to share real-time updates. It is integrated directly with your gmail account. Just like Twitter, it can be integrated in your blog to let your readers share your blog posts with their followers.

You can add the following code between your WordPress Posts Loop which will generate a “Share to Google Buzz” link.

<a href='http://www.google.com/reader/link?url=<?php the_permalink(); ?>&title=<?php the_title(); ?>&snippet=<?php the_title(); ?>&srcURL=<?php bloginfo('wpurl'); ?>&srcTitle=<?php bloginfo('name'); ?>'>Share to Google Buzz</a>

The link contains 4 parameters:

url: link to blog post
title: blog post title
srcURL: source url like your blog url
srcTitle: your blog name or title

This is the simplest and plugin free way to add Google Buzz to your blog posts. If you want, you can add a Google Buzz icon instead of text link in the above code.
