  Hello,

  I decided to add LinkedIN to my various social bookmark that can be found on the bottom of each post. Found some help from airodyssey’s earlier post about adding an URL that would let visitors share the posts on LinkedIN.

  There is just one thing. How about the icon? I had used http://www.linkedin.com for the icon. When previewing, it didn’t look right. Right now, I got it in a Share drop box. Hopefully I got the most likely used visible. I’m not sure of how frequent LinkedIn will be used; hence the Share box.

  What did I miss? My site is http://www.inspiration-point.org. Thanks.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  I’m going to guess the invisible LinkedIN icon is a little true tricky. I’ve been trying to fix it and no success. It’s now in Share. It only appeared when I enable both icon & text. Why don’t I have it in the open? Because all those icons visually creates a mess! Just look for the Share button!

  Hi. Your link works, but you appear to have entered “http://www.linkedin.com” as the “Image URL“. You need to enter an actual URL for a 16 x 16 image. There are plenty of them on Google, and probably one on the LinkedIn website itself. Have fun finding one that you like :-)

  And of course, once you enter an actual image URL for the LinkedIn service, you can select to display the icons only, and you’ll do just fine.

  Got it!!

  Just had to get the direct link for the icon at photobucket. Now, I got two junk buttons. Too bad I can’t delete them. I’ll leave off the decision to either “Icon Only” or “Icon+ Text”.

  You can delete them, but you have to drag them to the Enabled Services area briefly, click on the little “down arrow” icon to be able to click on Delete (or edit the info you need next time, no need to redo “Add Service”).

  I just realized that perhaps what I just wrote wasn’t clear. See here for a better explanation:
