I’m pleased as punch to announce the release of the Flockstars extension. Ever-creative Flockstar Tony Farndon (tones) created this extension to connect Flockstars across the globe even further. Erwan and I gave it a few test runs and I'm really excited to let you guys at it. So here we go:
You remember those spread Flock buttons? Of course you do, you use them every day to promote your favorite browser. The Flockstars Extension upgrades these buttons to something much more powerful.
For people who aren’t yet using Flock, these buttons redirect them to Flock.com, just as the old ones did. But for Flock users (with the extension), these buttons activate a Flockstar icon in the address bar that connects you to their online life.
When moused over by Flock users, a short description pops up (as seen below).
When clicked, the Flockstars icon opens a list of said Flockstar's websites: Flickr, Photobucket, MySpace, Websites, Email, etc. Click their Flickr account and their photos load in the media bar, click their email and your email program opens. You can even click their Skype username and call them!
This is a tremendous new way to link you Flockstars together, and even more of a reason to get your friends to try Flock.
You can download and find out more about this extension on Tones' site and create your own Flockstar button here. You will need to install the extension as well as embed the button code on your page to see your Flockstar icon.
After installing, scope this extension out in action on these pages:
This should work with Cardinal, and I’ve had success using it on 0.7.10. Cormorant is ever-changing and not a good bet for any extension at the moment.
Hope you enjoy, and thanks again to Tony for putting this together. Awesome work.
Set yourselves up with a Flockstars button and comment with the URL so we can see this extension in action!
Flock on,

hi, evan,
this could be something else, different than what you've wrote. I need help attaching flock button to my wordpress blog. I follow the instruction from flock page. It did not work at all. It was okay when I tried it at blogger. But, i decided to use wordpress as my main blog.
I'm still working on it, that is why I do not make it public yet.
Please come and see how my flock button work there.
Thanks!
For wordpress users, the easiest thing to do is probably create a new blank 'text' sidebar widget and put in all the code as one block into that text widget.

Not too sure what you mean exactly. The blogplus sidebar is availble from the view > sidebar menu in the CORMARANT blog window or by dragging in the sidebar selector toolbar button.
Conversely, flockstars only works in CARDINAL.
Don't ask, hopefully all my extensions will eventually all just work in danphe :-)

Cloud Gate at the same gang of people that night we had the roof of a wreath at the station, I watched expressionless face giggling friends, still smiling, my lunia war gold no one found. Keep blood from the wound in the heart to pour out, I forgot the pain, despite immense sadness cover the entire surface. Suddenly, I find myself no longer live color, even the same color and loneliness.

i did not not know about flock but after reading this post. I have made up my mind that flock is a must if you use social media.
thanks.
