  I was hoping to add sharing buttons for a variety of social media services. I read the tutorial page here: http://en.support.wordpress.com/sharing/ but when I access the sharing settings page I have no available services listed. I would rather not add them all manually (especially since I’d guess that won’t be the smart buttons). Have I missed something or how can I get them made available please?

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

  Also take a note of this (if your blog is private):

  Add social share buttons (classic themes)

  Ha I was about to come back and say I’d fixed it. I must have missed the troubleshooting section the first time I read the support page.

  It was as airodyssey described that my blog was set to private. I flicked it to public for a mo to test and all the icons became available. Put it back since it’s not my decision when it goes live just trying to get everything sorted in advance.

  It makes sense really; why would I want to attract traffic to a private blog?

  Thanks for the speedy help guys.
