<p>This plugin adds Social Sharing buttons to the bottom of content in pages and posts.</p>
<p>We have purposely excluded the Home page for inclusion of the buttons. The script should work for custom post types as well.</p>
<p>Please keep in mind this is a very simple implementation. There are no Admin settings or configuration pages. If you wish to have any social networks added that are not shown, please send me a message and I will add these.</p>

InstaShare Social Sharing

This plugin adds Social Sharing buttons to the bottom of content in pages and posts, so your visitors can share your website's content.

<p>Simple social sharing plugin that loads the third-party scripts asynchronously<br />
and after the page loads to improve site performance.</p>
<p>The plugin provides settings to load any of the following sharing widgets:</p>
<ul>
<li>Twitter</li>
<li>Facebook</li>
<li>Google+</li>
<li>Linkedin</li>
<li>Hacker News</li>
</ul>
<p>Available display options include ability to display the sharing widgets on<br />
above or below content on pages, specific custom post types or blog and archive pages.</p>
<p>Why is Asynchronous script loading better?<br />
Asynchronous loading allows multiple files to load parallel to each other.<br />
Instead of having to wait for Twitter to respond with their script, the browser<br />
moves on and starts fetching the next request.</p>
