Earlier this week, I posted a few tips for adding a tweet button on your web site, in an email or a PDF file, and on your Facebook Page. In that post, I briefly mentioned the vast number of social sharing and bookmarking plugins that are available for WordPress. I thought a useful follow-up post would be a look at some of the options you can explore if you want to add social sharing functionality to your WordPress blog.
