  Hi.
  Is it possible to move the sharing widgets and re-blog buttons to the top of a blog post (up with the blog like/vote widgets) rather than placement at the bottom of a blog post. If not the top of the blog post, perhaps on the right sidebar?

  I find the like, re-blog and sharing traffic goes up with easier access for the user/reader. (That was the case when I moved the like buttons to the top of the blog post).
  Thanks, in advance.

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

  Hi Doug,

  It may be possible to make this adjustment with a change to your theme’s CSS. You would have to upgrade to Custom Design, if you want to make changes to the designer’s layout:

  If you choose this option and don’t have a background in CSS code, you can post your questions here:

  You could also see if there is another template with social networking buttons that appear above the post:

  http://theme.wordpress.com/

  As a side note, the reason the social networking links are below the text is because visitors usually make the decision to share your post after they read it. But, you certainly know your readers better than I do!

  Let me know if I can help further. Thanks!
