Ok I had the idea of adding a Linux Mint social media widget to my blog, and I managed to get it working!

https://www.steveblog.co.uk

What do people think? It links straight to the forum as its a good knoledge dump for anyone to sift through?

It was simple enough on my wordpress site all I had to do was install social media widget, upload the image I wanted to my site, then link the 2 together.

There is a widget with a selection of the latest Linux Mint community videos you may use.

I will add another link to the community, just got to find another symbol for it, cant have them both the same! I will look into being able to add a widget on my profile here. Thanks for the advice. Hope others are interested in this idea.

@ulysses:
Thank you for your advice.
I got it.

@steveking:
I found the widget which is linked to Mint Forums on your blog.
Then what about putting another widget which is linked to this Community?
And what about putting a widget which is linked to your blog on your profile page in this Community?

For your blog a very nice idea of corse @steveking.
Maybe I think to strong how it is to publish in other blogs - with what justification ? It would be nice if in addition to any facebook and twitter widget a linked Mint symbol would be found. Well, maybe the community is still by time a real social network ;)

Ah I appologise for the typo you are right it is http://

I understand your comment *ulysses it isnt a social site but my aim of this was so that when a blogger posts something about Linux Mint you can follow them to the forum and see what else they have been doing. Also its a promotion for Linux Mint, people who view a personas blog are generally interested in what they have to say so may be tempted to check Linux Mint out this makes more users. Also you may find a fix to one problem on a blog, but that particular blogger may not have written about any other problmes that may arise. Therefore a link to the forum helps other users as well as trying to bring in new ones.

Now I finally understand what is meant !!

But is Linux Mint a Social Network?
I do not think so. You may agree or disagree ..
