Boost Your WordPress Blog’s Reach: A Step-by-Step Guide to Adding a BlueSky Sharing Button
In my recent post, Navigating the Social Media Landscape: My Journey with Five Platforms, I shared my experiences with the social media platform BlueSky, which I am excited to embrace as a new user!
Since BlueSky is new and (at the time of this post) has over 30 million users, it’s an exciting opportunity for WordPress bloggers to enhance their posts by adding a BlueSky sharing button at the end of their posts!
Let me empower your blog by showing you how to connect it to BlueSky. Many blogs have yet to embrace this fantastic feature (and it’s not only BlueSky that you can connect to your blog).

- On the dashboard of your blog, go to Tools – Marketing.
- On the Marketing and Integrations page, click on the Sharing Buttons icon.
- Click on the Edit sharing buttons icon.
- In the Edit visible buttons box, click on the BlueSky sharing button. If you do not already have it as a sharing button, it will be ghosted out.
- Click the Save Changes button.
- The BlueSky sharing button will now appear on your blog posts.
- Click the Reorder button to rearrange the order of the sharing buttons on your blog posts. To do so, click on one of them and drag the button to where you want it to sit.
- Click the Save Changes button.
How To Connect Your BlueSky Account To Your WordPress Blog
- On the dashboard on your blog, go to Tools – Marketing.
- On the Marketing and Integrations page, click on the Connections icon.
- In the Share posts with Jetpack social box, look for BlueSky and click the connect button.
- Add your BlueSky Handle and BlueSky app password in the boxes and click the Connect account button.
- You’ll be asked to confirm your BlueSky account by clicking another Connect button.
- Your BlueSky account is now connected to your WordPress blog. WordPress will share your posts directly with your BlueSky account whenever you publish a new post.
Remember to connect other social media accounts to your WordPress blog by following the same instructions.
