.sociable li {
background: none;
display: inline;
list-style-type: none;
margin: 0;
padding: 8px;

Then adjust the ‘padding’ value until it suits your site. This value adjusts the spacing between the icons, so if you have only a few but want to make them appear in a bar across the bottom of the post, you’ll put in more padding. Less if you have more bookmark icons.

Thanks for the assistance earlier on! I’ve been fiddling around with Sociable on and off the whole day and come to a few interesting conclusions.

Sociable, as developed by Peter Harkins contains the main functionality needed, but everyone seems to want to tweak it just a little bit to suit their own needs. For this reason, there are actually several versions or flavours of Sociable floating around the web.

I originally installed TimesURL Sociable, not knowing anything about it. It wasn’t quite right so I installed another one, also called Sociable, but this one created/tailored by Joost de Valk. Finally, I wrote you and you told me about the one you are using here that was customised by ‘TimZ’ for Zyblog.

Sadly, the Zyblog one doesn’t seem to work at all on my version (2.5.1) of WordPress. It doesn’t recognise it’s own directory and throws a giant tantrum when you try to run it.

So… back to the drawing board for me. Perhaps I’ll end up writing my own version of the plugin just to keep things nice and confusing. “Stalking Venus Sociable” has kind of a nice ring to it!
