stumbleupon, facebook, twitter button with counter on free wordpress blog.
-
Is this possible to add stumbleupon, facebook, twitter button with counter on free wordpress blog? If yes, Please direct me in detail.
Regards
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

It is possible. Go to your Dashboard->Settings->Sharing and add the buttons you want into the Active Sharing box. Note that the counters are inaccurate. That’s simply the nature of the beast.

I’ve done this but the share buttons are only showing up on my posts – not my main blog page. Is this because of the theme I’m using? I’ve tried to find the Plugins area to create the share button but that seems to be missing as well!

Sharing – 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 “Front Page, Archive Pages, and Search Results” for “Show buttons on” setting. -

@Timethief – I have that option chosen but thanks anyway! I even tried putting some HTML in the Text widget but when I click on the link that the HTML created, it takes me to an external share page instead of just bringing up share options on my blog. :(

You are using a theme that truncates the post on the front page. In my understanding this will NEVER show your share buttons on the front page, because they go at the bottom of the posts.

@raincoaster
You’re right. This theme is not designed to display full posts on the front page.@cyberchica702
Please read the theme description here > http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/ideation-and-intent/ and then choose another theme. -

So…bottom line – with the .COM site I will ONLY be able to have the share buttons at the bottom of my posts and not anywhere else on my blog? I guess I have to decide if it’s worth it to upgrade…
-
It depends on the theme you choose to use. I deliberately choose not to display any sharing buttons on the front pages post entries on my blogs. I want people to actually read the full posts and even comment prior to clicking any buttons.
-
I’ll give it a try for a while. I’ve found a theme I like that displays full posts, I’ll check that out.
