  Do you mean the sharing icons at the end of all of your posts?

  Add Social Share Buttons

  I checked http://pins-place.com/ and I see you are using the Chateau theme. I don’t see any social media icons that come with that theme, but here’s how you can setup your own:

  1. First, find the images you want to use, upload theme to your media library, and copy down the link URLs for each one.

  2. Go to Links → Add New and add each social media service you’d like to—make sure to include a link to the image for each one in the “Image Address” field in the Advanced box at the bottom of the page.

  3. Go to Appearance → Widgets, add the Links widget to your sidebar, check the option for “Show Link Image,” and uncheck all the other options.

  4. Then go to Appearance → Custom Design → CSS editor and add the following CSS:

  .blogroll li {
  	border: none;
  	float: left;
  	list-style-type: none;
  	padding-right: 8px;
  }
