  I checked through some old posts yesterday and noticed the share counter numbers were a lot lower than they were on a lot of my posts.
  Can anyone tell me why?
  For example I post I wrote earlier this month had over 300 shares and now the Facebook share counter reads 211?
  Its quite a significant drop.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi
  Thanks for that but I probably didnt make myself clear. The problem arose the same time as the changes were made to Publicize but I am talking about the actual share buttons on each blog posts.

  The counters on past posts has dropped a good bit? So nothing to do with Publicize, i am talking about people who read my blog and share it not myself sharing it, if that makes more sense?

  Thanks
