If you would like to increase the exposure of your blog WordPress Connect 
it the perfect plugin for you. It comes with a unique set of tools through 
which you can reach the largest social networking community on the planet 
that would engage and then share and discuss your content. It will enable 
you to build up a fan base and to connect with a wider and a more relevant 
audience. Now your blog readers with a Facebook account can post comments, 
create discussions and like your posts and pages.
The plugin integrates Facebook Social plugins with WordPress. It provides 
tools to add the Facebook Like Button and Facebook Comments automatically 
to every post and page. Of course, the user has a full control over settings 
such as width, font, color scheme, etc.
WordPress Connect also provides fully customizable WordPress Widgets for the 
following Facebook Social Plugins
<ul>
<li>Activity Widget</li>
<li>Comments Widget</li>
<li>Facepile Widget</li>
<li>Like Box Widget</li>
<li>Like Button Widget</li>
<li>Live Stream Widget</li>
<li>Login Widget</li>
<li>Recommendation Widget</li>
<li>Send Button Widget</li>
</ul>
The widgets can be added to your blog just as easy as any other WordPress 
Widget, i.e. through the widgets page (under Appearance on your Dashboard).
Since 2.0, all WordPress Connect widgets are rendered in the XFBML mode (i.e 
no iframes) to provide full functionality the iframe versions may lack.
A big addition since 2.0 is a simple yet powerful <a href="http://wp-connect.tomasvorobjov.com/api/" title="WordPress Connect API" rel="nofollow ugc">API</a> 
for plugin and theme developers who can now specify default settings for WordPress 
Connect to reflect the needs of their plugin/theme. The API provides an easy 
way to include any widget (such as the Like Button of Comments) anywhere in 
the theme, e.g. to add the Like Button to the header or Comments to the 
footer.
Requirements
<ul>
<li>PHP 5.2.0 or newer</li>
<li>WordPress 3.0 or newer</li>
</ul>

This plugin adds a set of social buttons to your website, and includes craft-related social sites like Ravelry, Etsy, Craftsy and Pinterest as well as other major social networks, including WhatsApp. Support for sharing to WhatsApp is also provided on mobile devices. You can choose from nine different button styles to match your theme. You can have the share buttons automatically added to the top or bottom of each post, and can position the link buttons using either a widget, a shortcode or a template action hook.
You can use the share button and link button functions either separately, or together:
Share Button mode allows you to put a set of buttons at the top or bottom of each post. Each button will share that post with that particular service. I.e., clicking the facebook icon will open a window for the user to share your post on their Facebook page. Not all services support sharing, for instance, you can’t share via Etsy or Craftsy.
Link Button mode lets you configure the buttons to link directly you your profiles on the social networks. I.e. clicking the facebook icon will take the user to your facebook page, clicking the Etsy icon will take them to your Etsy shop. These are designed to be included in either your header, sidebars or footer, as they are not specific to a post. These can be easily included by adding the Social Link Button widget to the area where you want the buttons to appear.
Supported social services include:
<ul>
<li>Craftinoo (link only)</li>
<li>Craftsy (link only)</li>
<li>Dawanda (link only)</li>
<li>Digg</li>
<li>Ebay (link only)</li>
<li>Email (share only)</li>
<li>Etsy (link only)</li>
<li>Facebook</li>
<li>Flickr (link only)</li>
<li>Google+</li>
<li>Instagram (link only)</li>
<li>LinkedIn</li>
<li>Pinterest</li>
<li>Ravelry</li>
<li>Reddit</li>
<li>Specific Feeds (link only)</li>
<li>Stumble Upon</li>
<li>Tumblr</li>
<li>Twitter</li>
<li>Vimeo</li>
<li>VK</li>
<li>YouTube</li>
<li>WhatApp (share only, only on mobile)</li>
<li>Xing</li>
</ul>
You can also choose exactly which services you want separately for each mode, so you can can have Share Buttons for Ravelry, Pinterest, Facebook, Twitter and Email, but have Link Buttons for Google+, Craftsy, Pinterest and your Etsy shop.
