  I am using the Comet Theme and wish to place buttons on the side for readers to share on THEIR social media pages. How can I do this?

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

  Enable different sharing options on your dashboard Settings->Sharing page. If you put them in a widget they’ll only share the link to your entire blog, not to the specific post.

  Hi Raincoaster, thank you for your assistance. However, I already have share buttons for each of my posts. I do want share buttons that link my entire blog. Do you know how to do this?

  Yes. Create a text widget and hand-code it with links to each of the sites.
