There's an option there to share individual posts, which I use to "tag" stuff from other blogs which I believe require the largest audience. In the Reader's Settings, you then have the "tags" tab and you'll find "add a clip to your site" under shared items. If you follow the instructions you'll generate a piece of code which I have simply pasted into a dirt common text widget. The search button is a google custom search engine which reads my shared items directly. The Dig / Del.icio.us things come from Feedburner.com 's Feed Flare option which requires you to be able to edit your template files, I'm afraid. Last but not least, WordPress.org is actually free, it's self-hosting which can cost something (but there are free hosting packages out there, with the usual caveat that you may suffer from site outages).

Questions for you. What kind of widget are you using in the "Worthwhile Reading" section? (Which, BTW, is feeding me lots of hits, so thank you for that.) I would love to add one. Also, how did you get the Dig/Del.icio.us/Technorati links goin? Okay, now I think I'm going to answer my own question. You're doing Wordpress.org, the paid one, am I right? Shoot. Still, could you let me know because I'm thinking of moving from the free one to the paid so I can make my own theme. Thank you! Bloggy deliciousness. Questions for you.
