The Smub-It button is now live on two exceptional sites: L’Equipe.fr, the website of France’s most popular sports magazine; and CRAFTzine.com, website of “the first project-based magazine dedicated to the renaissance in the world of crafts.”

From now on, at the bottom of every article or post on L’Equipe or CRAFT, you’ll see our little Smub-It button. What’s the Smub-It button you ask? It’s just a little button that allows you to share the page you’re viewing with any of the social networks that Smub supports (17, so far!) with just a click. Here’s the Smub-It button now, as displayed on L’Equipe:

We are absolutely ecstatic that L’Equipe and CRAFT have chosen to include Smub for their readers’ link-sharing needs. We really hope you’ll check out both sites, as they’re absolutely brimming with news, information, tutorials and projects!

Podcaster, blogger, author and all-around wonderful person Sister Diane has just posted an article covering how Smub can be useful for crafters … and, really, just about anyone! Please give it a read: Smub for Crafters.

Can’t get enough crafting or Sister Diane? Check out her new book Kanzashi in Bloom, currently available for pre-order on Amazon.com.

Smub now supports sharing and posting to three additional sites: Google Bookmarks, Diigo and Newsvine! This brings us to a grand total of 17 sites to which you can instantly share your links!

Got a favorite site we don’t support yet? Please let us know and we’ll do our best to get it added to the list.

Posting, sharing and bookmarking links from your iPhone is even easier with the “smub it” bookmarklet! The “smub it” bookmarklet gives you the same easy-to-use interface that you would get by typing “smub.it/” to the left of the http, but simplifies the process by allowing you to “smub” a link with just a couple of clicks.

So, how do you get the “smub it” bookmarklet onto your iPhone? The easiest way is simply to install the bookmarklet to your desktop version of Safari, then sync your iPhone with your computer, making sure the “Sync Safari bookmarks” button is checked under the Web Browser section on the Info tab of your iPhone menu under Devices in iTunes. Phew…. that was a long sentence! How about I walk you through it, step by step?
