  Can I add the sharethis plugin as a widget, or do I have to move to wordpress.org for it to work?
  Thanks!

  Also by linking your name to your blog it will serve the purposes…

  Thanks for your reply. I went to the teckline.wordpress.com and there were some Share this post icons. How did you get those in there?

  I don’t know about Sharethis but Addthis works equally well in the sidebar as widget for individual posts. I have it on my blog.

  @arifsali

  GetSocial offers the addthis button for your side bar.

  @niqqi-I think I posted my reply a day earlier than your new thread, but I’m glad it helped you nonetheless. :)

  @arifsali-I think yours is one of the few blogs on which the AddThis button works correctly. AddThis needs javascript and in spite of the instructions given in the FAQs for using it on your WordPress.COM blog, whatever code remains after COM gets done stripping out the javascript just doesn’t seem to work for individual posts on some blogs. I’ve tried it on two different blogs using different themes (Cutline and The Journalist) without success; the bookmark gets hijacked. But good to know that it does work for some.
