Just realized that I could add a "share this" feature to my blog settings that lets guests use social networks, email, and blog platforms to share what they find on my blog. It is one of the things that I remember I liked about the New York Times site, the little box off to the side that let you email or get the permalink - it feels like they've had that up since my first year at UC Irvine; maybe not. Now lots of other sites have similar "share this" or "add this" features to help share, spread, promote, etc. what you stumble upon on the internet.
I happened to like the look of the ShareThis solution, and found it really easy to configure for my site. I added it to all of my blogs in about 5 minutes.
So, if you hadn't noticed it yet, take a closer look. At the footer of each post there is a rotating icon (by the Comments and Post information) that lets you click and select how you would like to share the content.
Go for it, share away!
