The Social Bookmarklet code I found works perfectly! There are two great ways to use it. Here’s what it looks like.

Sympoze This!

Sympoze Users: Drag the above link to your bookmark toolbar. Whenever you’re on a site you want to submit to Sympoze simply click on the bookmark. You’ll be taken to the Sympoze submit page. The URL and title will be automatically put in for you. (I’ve tested this in Firefox. I assume it will work in IE, but let me know if it doesn’t.)

Philosophy Bloggers: You can paste the HTML code for the link above in your blog post template, and whenever a Sympoze user reads your post and likes it – you’ve given them an easy way to submit the post to Sympoze. Here’s the code.

Disclaimer: I’ve tried this and it works. The only drawback is that users have to be at the permalink of the post for it to submit the permalink.

Code:
<a title="Sympoze This!" href="javascript:q=(document.location.href);t=(document.title);void(open('http://www.sympoze.com/node/add/drigg?url='+escape(q)+'&title='+escape(t),'','resizable,location,menubar,toolbar,scrollbars,status'));"><img src="http://www.sympoze.com/path_to_your_image.png" alt="Sympoze This!" /></a>

Make sure you post it in the template for your posts. You want the link to display at the end of each blog post. That way users can submit the particular blog post they’re reading.

UPDATE: Here’s the code I’m using on WordPress. The reader does not have to be on the permalink in order for this link to submit the permalink. It’s WordPress specific. It won’t work in TypePad or Blogger. The Blogger code is below. (I’m working on the TypePad code now)

WordPress Code for Philosophy Bloggers
<a title="Sympoze This!" href="javascript:q=(document.location.href);t=(document.title);void(open('http://www.sympoze.com/node/add/drigg?url=<?php the_permalink(); ?>&title=<?php the_title(); ?>','resizable,location,menubar,toolbar,scrollbars,status'));"><img src="http://www.sympoze.com/path_to_your_image.png" alt="Sympoze This!" /></a>
Blogger Code for Philosophy Bloggers (I tested this in Blogger – It works):
<a title="Sympoze This!" href="javascript:q=(document.location.href);t=(document.title);void(open('http://www.sympoze.com/node/add/drigg?url=<$BlogItemPermalinkURL$>&title=<$BlogItemTitle$>','resizable,location,menubar,toolbar,scrollbars,status'));"><img src="http://www.sympoze.com/path_to_your_image.png" alt="Sympoze This!" /></a>
