Starting today there is a new way for your readers to share the posts on your blog with friends. This feature allows you to add sharing functionality from a range of services to the bottom of your blog posts.
Here’s a quick video introduction:
To begin with we have the following services for you to choose from. If there is a service missing from the list, don’t worry! You can add your own custom services as well.
- Press This
- Digg
- StumbleUpon
- Email to a friend
You can control these new options in your dashboard by going to Settings > Sharing.
You can choose which of these services you want to display and in a range of different formats. If you have the custom CSS upgrade you can go even further and choose your own icons and layout. We have also added stats for all activity around this feature so you will be able to see what content people are sharing and on what services. Check out the sharing support article for more information on getting setup. Note: We will also be releasing this as a WordPress.org plugin next week.
Update: This is now available as a WordPress.org Plugin called Sharedaddy.

This is great news. I’ve been contemplating making the move over to wordpress.org to get more control over my blog but this announcement/feature will allow me to stay put for a bit longer. Awesome job. Thanks

Good stuff! Enabling…!
I cannot get the video tutorial to finish. Are the instructions written somewhere?

Why do I only have the option to share with Email or Print? None of the other icons are showing in the available services?
Your blog must have been private and these are the only options available.
wohhhoo….have been waiting for this from a long long time…brilliant stuff….thanks a ton!
million thanks 🙂
this is a great addition
Excellent addition!!
Can we add it to the top of a blog post instead of the bottom.

Currently no, but we may add this as a future option.
Fantastic addition! This was one of the only things WordPress was missing, and it integrates beautifully. Thanks, WordPress team!
I JUST COMPLETELY LOVE YOUUUUUUU!
Thanks a lot! Great job!
Finally, wp release more ‘share button’. 😉

Finally WP git it right.. This is a feature most of the WP hosted bloggers would love to have it in their posts.. Thanks for WP for providing in the same.. Looking forward to it.. Kudos to the entire team who worked on it..
Thank you! Today I’ve introduced the FB Like-Button to my blog. It’s awesome. (And I think: it will be far more often get clicked than the FB share button) Thank you so much!
thank you! i’ve been waiting for this for a while
FINALLY! …I mean, Thank you! 🙂
Awesome! I too have been trying to accomplish this myself and just couldn’t make it work. I appreciate this service!

WordPress really is geared to toward the blogger. Thank you!
Wow…this is a great feature !! Thank You !!
Video was very informative. Showed features in detail, but easy enough to absorb. Great especially for us new bloggers who are still learning all the features of WordPress. Thank YOU !
This is great! Much appreciated. Thanks.
this is so cool!
Thanks so much for sharing this! One more reason to love WordPress! 😀
well life become easier to share, i luve wordpress
I’ve been dreaming about this! Thank you so much!
The next feature i would like to see is the Facebook plugin (the one that displays a few fans, and allows to become a fan.
Great work!
Thanks a lot, worpress team!!!!
Being fairly new at blogging and WordPress I can use all the help I can get. This is great. Thanks
haha thats cool
Yippee! I’ll try it.
but we need yahoo and google buzz/ don’t ya think? please
FANTASTIC!
I think this a great feature, it will definitely make sharing a lot easier.
Cheers.
it is very powerful
To be honest…that was the last feature that I have missed…now WP is truly the best way to contruct Your blog or even a company page (as I do on external hosting)…everrr!
Have waited a long time for this. Now really happy about its implementation. Keep up the good work!
Here goes removing all the Get Social icons.
Finally, it’s what everyone has been waiting for.
Now to decide which FB button to use. I’m assuming clicks to the FB like button will not be in the stats.
Also, is there a way of centering the buttons with the CSS upgrade?
Yes, you can modify the style of the sharing buttons with the CSS upgrade
Nice. I’ve been pretty much been pasting an HTML code list with a lot of these service’s buttons. This is going to save some time and effort. The WordPress team is really working hard for their bloggers, and it shows. Thanks guys.
This is great! My incoming traffic has increased around 5~10% per day, just from StumbleUpon. Thanks WordPress!
Thought this function had been here for a while? Anyhow nice.
This is totally awesome. I am hoping it will help get my blog out there to more readers. Thanks 🙂
AWESOME! its so hard to get people to see my blog and sharing it is a pain, this is going to help so much (i hope) !!!
