  1. Am trying to add the ‘Add This’ button to the “Share this” icon list at the bottom of each post. I’m using these directions: https://www.addthis.com/get-addthis
  but the button doesn’t appear. Suggestions?
  2. Am also trying to add Twitter and Add This facilities to the ‘Share this blog’ (upper left sidebar menu) as per these directions: https://www.addthis.com/help/wordpress#comsidebar
  but cannot make it work. Suggestions?
  Thanks, in advance.

  Actually, we have all this built-in at Settings -> Sharing in your Dashboard.

  See this for more info: http://en.support.wordpress.com/sharing/

  Please revisit my question(s).
  As you can see, http://dougcronk.wordpress.com/ , I use a nubmer of share buttons today, they work fine, however,
  I cannot get the ‘ADD THIS’ button to work (see the bottom of my blog).
  Can you help?

  I fixed the ‘SHARE THIS BLOG’ facility top left menu … Thanks anyway.

  The problem with the Add This button is that their code is not a simple link. Rather it’s a chunk of javascript code which we can’t allow for security reasons.

  Instead of using an Add This button, I recommend using what we have provided and adding the other individual services that you want to add.
