Nifty Buttons Ideal For Mac RapidWeaver Webmasters

Social Button Set For Modern Platforms

A complete rewrite of the MacGizmoGuy website has been a major project. I started this spring, and continue to expand and refine my legacy site. I've been using RealMac Software's Rapid Weaver app since Version 3 starting in the mid-2000s. I literally built 100 niche websites with RapidWeaver over the years - and now in my retirement, I'm using RapidWeaver Classic with a new, simple and responsive theme.

Scalable, Responsive Website Buttons

I needed a modern social profile widget set, so I chose Nifty Buttons which is very current and provides a mind blowingly huge set of scalable. SVG icons & both old and new platforms to choose from. I tend to code in very basic raw HTML so that's what my Nifty Buttons are written in. The code lives completely on the macgizmoguy.com site and doesn't make remote calls to retrieve the button images across the Internet. It's much more efficient to completely host it here on site. Because they are in .SVG image format they are basically scalable illustrations that can be rendered at any size cleanly.

Gathering Your Profile URL's Is Hell

It was a real challenge coming up with all my unique profile URLs across the Web-O-Sphere! I have been on the Internet forever and the MacGizmoGuy brand has been around for 18 years. Many of the sites linked above had changed URL formats from HTTP to secure HTTPS, some have modified the URL and username format over the years. it was a challenge validating the absolute, correct and optimal syntax to list all these different profiles and destinations!

The AIO and SEO Social Button Magic

There's a bigger point to be made here though. Beyond just making it easier for visitors to find and follow you at the platform of their choice across the web - There's a lot of SEO/AEO backlink value in having an extensive set of buttons like this. You're building out a cross linked mesh of high authority placements that in turn points right back to you. It's an ENTITY GRAPH that AI in particular picks up on in their crawls and fan-outs.
