How do I add a share widget?
-
How do you add a “share on facebook/ Twitter/ etc”, widget so people can share my blog posts?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)
-
I’ve seen them on other blogs, but with mine you have to click on “leave a comment” before they appear. Is it possible to have them up all the time instead of only when someone tries to leave a comment?
Thanks! :)

You can enable your share buttons from your Dashboard
Settings > Sharing > Sharing buttons
Drop and drag Available services icons into Enabled services. Scroll down a little more to Show Buttons On. If you want the share buttons to show on your front page and individual post pages, click on Front Page and Posts.
Don’t forget to Save Changes and you should be good to go.

Thanks! … Only my available services doesn’t have facebook or twitter. Is there a way to add them?

That’s odd, because you should. I don’t know what is going on with that.
Maybe there is something in the support documents that would help.

Thank you!
I see where it says you can “connect” to different sites (including fb) up above the available services under “publicize”. But that seems to be automatically sharing each post when I publish it, which isn’t exactly what I’m looking for…
There is an “add a new service” option under available services, but when I click on it it asks me to put the service name, sharing URL, and Icon URL, and I’m not sure how to do that for something like facebook…

Please do not hijack threads by posting off-topic into them. If you want FTP access and to install plugins or third party themes into a site then you will have to hire a web host http://wordpress.org/hosting/ and set up your own WordPress.org install.There is no FTP access and no blogger installed plugin capability on any free hosted WordPress.com blogs.

http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/There is no upgrade you can purchase here that provides FTP access and the ability to install plugins and or any third party themes.
