You are most welcome and I am glad you are happy with your decision. :)

Addtoany has a really cool "email a friend" option that lets the sharer choose email addresses from her/his Address book.

This way it appears like it floats at the very top of my sidebar. I liked the look of this compared to 'addthis', plus it's bigger and easier to read. (In my opinion)

@sanjidas I did see this blog post, thank you. It was helpful, but again, I liked the look and feel of 'addtoany' better. I realize I may not be able to have the analytics, but that wasn't a necessity for me. Thanks for your help!

Just upload it to wordpress, find the image link and use it in the code where it says "src=". You'll want to change the height and width attributes appropriately too.

When clicked the button redirects to a blank page that has Facebook Like button that shows live info when clicked. Because the page is blank, it kind of looks like the button is integrated within the blog, and not in some external third-party service.

The note on a tip: if someone has a method for doing something that would help other WordPress.com users - especially if a lot of threads have been posted on it - and it's included entirely within a post, I would think it's appropriate for the Support forum.

Otherwise, the thread Jennifer pointed to would seem to be a great place for it. Maybe you could start up a "Tips" thread in Off Topic like that other thread to try and concentrate those types of posts.

I find myself a bit confused why tips are appearing here rather than in the Showcase forum or Off Topic forum's "what did you post in your blog today" thread.

Although you and I may prefer getsocial live I can see the click throughs from my post which contains all the bookmarking choices we can make. The pattern I see indicates a significant number of bloggers do not make the same choice you and I do, so that's why I always post the link to the post that contains all of the choices. :)

We must individually generate the URL and title specific bookmarks for each post, and then switch to the HTML editor and paste them at the end of our posts before we publish them. It takes only moments and to do and works very well. :)
