Display on posts or use widgets or shortcode. Also Twitter name/hashtag to link converter. == Description == = Sharing posts & pages = The plugin currently supports the following networks for sharing: * Facebook (like and send buttons) * Twitter * Google +1 * LinkedIn * Tumblr * StumbleUpon * Delicious * Digg * Reddit * Myspace * Hyves On Tweet buttons you can specify a Twitter handle which is then appended to the tweet a visitor sends (like "... via @WordPress"). An email send button is also included. You can decide which networks to support on your blog, where the buttons will appear (either above or below the content). Through drag and drop you can easily change the order in which the buttons appear. For each button you can choose a different type (not all types are available for each button): * button * button with counter on the side * button with counter on top * small icon * small icon with text * medium icon * medium icon with text * large icon You can also choose the orientation of the buttons: * horizontal (buttons are placed side by side) * vertical (buttons are placed below each other) = Divider = In version 1.0.0 three dividers were added to each list. These might be useful in ordering the buttons, especially in the case of varying button types used with a horizontal orientation. A divider will split the element containing the buttons in two, allowing for more customization. = Shortcode = It is also possible to only let the buttons appear where you want by using shortcode. The shortcode function has it's own list of buttons with the same possibilities as the list for posts & pages. Use the shortcode [social_share/] in the content where you would like to display the buttons. = Widget = The widget has it's own list of buttons with the same possibilities as the list for posts & pages. You can however specify a fixed title and url to use for the buttons in the widget. = Follow Widget = Since version 1.0.0 an extra widget is added with the possibility to provide easy links to your profiles on other social networks. The networks currently supported for the Follow Widget are: * Facebook * Twitter * Google+ * LinkedIn * Tumblr * Myspace * Hyves * YouTube * Flickr * Picasa * DeviantArt * Last.fm * Spotify A button for an RSS feed is also included. Of course the type, order and orientation of the buttons is also configurable for the Follow Widget. Each button for the Follow Widget supports the following types: * small icon * small icon with text * medium icon * medium icon with text * large icon To use a button you must enter your user id or username for the network. To use the RSS feed button you must enter the full url. = Automatic Twitter links = This plugin also includes a configurable & improved version of my earlier Automatic Twitter Links plugin. You can decide if you want to convert Twitter names and/or hashtags to links. Twitter names will link to their Twitter profile and hashtags will link to the Twitter search page. == Frequently Asked Questions == = My excerpts aren't displaying the buttons but some strange text is displayed = You must disable the option "Include buttons in excerpts", it is enabled by default but some themes use custom excerpts which do not correctly parse the buttons. = The buttons are not showing on my posts in the loop = You must enable the option "Include buttons in excerpts", but keep in mind some themes use custom excerpts which do not correctly parse the buttons. = How do I use display the buttons somewhere else (outside the loop) = = The LinkedIn follow link doesn't seem right = You may need to setup you custom public profile url. To do so, use the following steps: 1. When signed in to LinkedIn, Go to Edit Profile 2. Click on Edit link, next to your default Public Profile URL (Under Profile tab) 3.
