  Is it possible to add “Share This” links to blog posts? ie. Links that allow users to repost link to Twitter, Facebook, etc.

  Thanks so much!

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

  I can recommend that you use either one of these two below to add social bookmarks submission links to the end of your posts:

  The one you have named “Share This” is a plugin by Alex King that he developed for use on self hosted wordpress.org blogs.

  wordpress.com blogs so not have individual plugins so we cannot use it on wordpress.com blogs. http://en.support.wordpress.com/plugins/

  However, the two social bookmarking submission alternatives I recommended in my first response are extremely easy to use. You simply enter the post title and URL and click a button. Then you paste the code into the blog post by switching from the visual editor to the code (html) editor.

  Oh ok, that looks like a decent alternative. Thanks so much!
