I have finally figured out how to add social sharing buttons to my website. I have added the following code to Page.ss which I am going to fine tune.

How do I move the sharing icons to show directly at the end of content added and not at the bottom of the page. If i put the code directly after:

$Layout

it shows in the right place but the first 2 icons are on the far right top as though on the end of the line before?

$MetaTags(false)

You should probably move the mark-up you've added to be within the Layout Div. If that doesn't fix it, you'll need to tweak the css.

If you haven't done anything with css before, there are some decent resources here: http://www.w3schools.com/css/default.asp

There's not really a generic css fix that will work for every website, but if it's live somewhere I can tell you what you need to add.

Have taken your advice and moved the mark-up up and that has put the share icons on the page properly. Have gone to css now but can't figure out how to get the icons to show directly under the content but will go and try and work on it :-)

Would greatly appreciate your help as there is always the next job waiting for me to try and muddle my way though lol It looks like it might be the static sidebar that is interfering?

Go into the CMS and delete the blank paragraph tags under the content that is pushing your icons down. Because this is not a SS issue you are not getting many replies.

You must promise in future that you will use Firebugs inspector and read the section "Find elements with the mouse" here. Then everything becomes easy:

Hi Johan

I am in the early stages of trying to teach myself. I have firebug and have used it but cannot understand it.

The share buttons are showing at the bottom of the page below the static sidebar. They are not being pushed down by the content?

To be fair this is a ss issue as in all my other websites I would just add the code to the page but ss strips it out.
