This post is largly based on: How to add digg this, reddit this, et al links to WordPress Posts. Basically the only difference is how to use rails instead of php in the URLs and addition of Fark and Blinklist.
So, here is what you have to do:

1. Download following images to /public/images

2. Add following code at the bottom of app/views/articles/_article.rhtml

<br /> <% a_permalink= "http://" + @request.host_with_port + article.location <span>></p> <p><div class="spreadtheword"> <a title="Add to del.icio.us" href="http://del.icio.us/post?url=<</span>= a_permalink <span>>;title=<</span>= article.title %>”><img src="/images/delicious.gif" alt="del.icio.us" border="0"></a> | <br /> <a title="Submit to Digg" href="http://digg.com/submit?phase=2&url=<%= a_permalink <span>>” ><img src="/images/digg.gif" alt="Digg" border="0"></a> | <br /> <a title="Add to FURL" href="http://www.furl.net/storeIt.jsp?t=<</span>= article.title <span>>;u=<</span>= a_permalink <span>>” ><img src="/images/frul.gif" alt="FURL" border="0"></a> | <br /> <a title="Add to Yahoo! My Web 2.0" href="http://myweb2.search.yahoo.com/myresults/bookmarklet?t=<</span>= article.title <span>>;u=<</span>= a_permalink <span>>”><img src="/images/yahoomyweb.jpg" alt="Yahoo! My Web 2.0" border="0"></a> | <br /> <a title="Add to Reddit" href="http://reddit.com/submit?url=<</span>= a_permalink <span>>;title=<</span>= article.title %>” ><img src="/images/reddit_btn.gif" alt="Reddit" border="0"></a> | <br /> <a title="Add to Blinklist" href="http://www.blinklist.com/index.php?Action=Blink/addblink.php&Description=&Url=<%= a_permalink <span>>” ><img src="/images/blinklist.gif" alt="Blinklist" border="0"></a> | <br /> <a title="Add to Fark" href="http://cgi.fark.com/cgi/fark/edit.pl?new_url=<</span>= a_permalink %>&new_comment=<%= article.title %>&new_link_other=@request.host&linktype=Science/Technology” ><img src="/images/fark.gif" alt="Fark" border="0"></a></div> </div> <p>

(Note: If someone knows a better way to place a permalink, let us know.)

3. Add following to public/images/user_style.css

.spreadtheword {

text-align: right;

clear: both;

font-size: 10px;

padding-bottom: 10px;

}

That’s it and you should be on your way to popularity.
