Had a heads-up from AudienceOne this weekend re: another way to add social bookmarking icons to your post footer. Audience has taken Dhiraj Gupta's post footer icons and stripped them down for blogspot users. No "onmouseover" function in the script (which apparently means no need to remotely host the script?) and Blogger's image hosting to hold on to your images. Simply paste them into a new post, change the date of the post to take it out of regular circulation, then view the post & grab the URL's to paste into your template. Here's the chunk of code for your footer.... (not so much a chunk as a boulder, really.... Makes me dizzy to look at it!
Anyway... another strategy for adding a full suite of icons. For what may well be the ultimate solution, watch for PopMarks.
Update 6/29: Popmarks is live!

Just trim it down to social-bookmarking sites that you like.
1) You don't need to post the post to get the image URLs. Just create the post and then cut-n-paste from the HTML code generated in the post window. Saves your blog from having useless posts around ;)
2) Blogger image hosting is unlimited space, unlimited bandwidth. Someone could take all these images, host them on blogger, and then just let everyone use the same set of URLs. Saves Blogger the hosting, saves us the work, and makes more efficient use of browser cache across blogs ;)
Perhaps, my blog post about it didn't explain it well. :D
