  I have enabled Facebook and Twitter sharing, but their icons do not show up at the bottom of my posts. They’re on my About page, but not my posts. How can I fix this? Thanks.

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

  Hi.

  Goto dashboard left column–> Settings –> Sharing.
  Scroll down to

  “Show Sharing
  Button on”

  make sure it is set to:”Post and Pages Only”

  remember to click save.

  The settings are correct but still no buttons except on the About page.

  The sharing buttons do appear on your posts. They appear when the title link to the post or the comments link are clicked and the posts open on their own page. This is normal behavior.

  Troubleshooting
  If you are having trouble showing the sharing buttons on your blog, please check the following:
  * I can’t see the buttons on the front page.
  Make sure to select “Posts and index pages” for “Show sharing buttons on” setting. http://en.support.wordpress.com/sharing/#troubleshooting

  Thanks – now I understand. I’d like the buttons to be visible without having to click on the post title, though, so based on your troubleshooter, I set the sharing setting to Posts, Pages and Index Pages.

  Thank goodness there are people out there who know what they’re doing with this stuff! Have a great day.
