  At this site: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/4076 I found all of these add-ons for putting into my blog or my posts so that they can be shared and hopefully improve traffic.

  But I know half of Zip about this. Is this a download that I put inside each post or that I put in a sidebar? I notice that these add ons are only for Firefox of a certain version, meaning that other other browsers don’t or cannot use these.

  Where can I go to get Add-Ons that WordPress experts believe to be the most useful ones? My ears perk up now when I read “digg“ or ”facebook“ on blogs, because apparently these things add a LOT of traffic.

  That’s only an add on for Firefox – you install it on your browser. You don’t use it on Wp.com.

  Although, you could use the author’s site of that one:

  There are several social bookmarking tools you can use. I use AddThis. I automatically add them into each post. I have them saved and just post them all myself into each post. Here are more from the forum you can look through.

  Also the addon you linked to is so you can share web pages you find on the net.

  I use the “AddtoAny” button on my posts. when you click on it at the bottom of a post to share or save, a window opens with more than 125 social networking sites!
  WP.com compatible button available @ http://www.addtoany.com/buttons/for/wordpress_com

  Dear everybody and to Electricia1 who recommended:
  I use the “AddtoAny” button on my posts. when you click on it at the bottom of a post to share or save, a window opens with more than 125 social networking sites!

  I just now went and put that Wp.com Share Button into my Firefox browser bookmarks toolbar. This was so very easy, and with just clicking that link on my toolbar, the icon for all those add-ons shows up, so people can choose their add-on.

  Thank you so much.
  I think you all helped me to get more traffic.
