Hi,
Articles with long introductions result in Google returning an error because of a too long URL. Plugin should trim the introduction to the same limit as Google.

Nice plugin

Thanks

I have introduced article intro trimming in version 1.2.
Please update your installed plugin and let me know if you still have problems.

Yes, it's a simple idea and very useful .. in my opinion it's better than the extension that are related to displaying buttons of so much social bookmarking sites and have a lot of problems ..

I suggest in the next version to make the icon a little bigger & choices to place it on the right or the left of the article ..

Thank you

Thanks for nice review.

I will introduce bigger icon and position (left, right) to choose in next version

Until then, you can change the icon and position in plugin's CSS:

.buzzItWrapper {
float: right OR left;
}

.buzzItLink {
background: url('../images/buzz-icon.png');
}
