I normally make a lot of refernce to lots of friends on social networks while blogging and was getting bored of adding hrefs for each reference, so made the socialink-plugin for octopress.

Installation

Place the socialink.rb in the porject link to your ~/octopress/plugin/ dir.

Usage

1

{% sl social handle %}

• social can be any of : gh, fb, gp, tw, in, fl. [github, facebook, googleplus, twitter, linkdin, flickr respectivly]

Examples:

Input:

1
2

{% sl gh hemanth %}
gnumanth

Output:

1
2

<a href='https://github.com/hemanth'>hemanth</a>
<a href='https://twitter.com/gnumanth'>gnumanth</a>

Hope this is useful!
