How To Make a Custom Google Buzz Button

14.02.10

I was looking for a ready made Google Buzz Button that would dynamicly generate the correct information to post to Google Buzz through Google Reader. There where a few but they either required using a service or a hand made link. I needed a button that would stay dynamic on all pages made from the main template page. So off course i had to dust of the old Javascript brain cells and make one myself. It's pretty easy and basic.
Eventually i needed some good help from scinor with the extra scripting.

- Added detection of Emtpy Meta Description, Some Bloggers Don't Learn ;).

Updated on 23.02.2010 to Version 1.3
- Image is not pulled from Google Servers anymore, but uses a 16x16 blob.
- Button now also grabs description to post to Google Reader/Buzz.
-Script parses and replaces single quotes ' with ' from the desciption.

Updated Version 1.1
- does not need you to change anything to the script, it uses Google's own Buzz Graphic.

The result will look something like below:
