Which Plugin is the best for Social Media?
Recently, I asked our wonderful community, which social plugin I should use and I had a terrific response and thought I would share the information in a post for all the newbies.
My dilemma started with the assignment in Level 4, adding icons to my website and sharing some content on Pinterest. As I have no experience with any of this, I went stampeding into research and became even more confused. The community had the answers as always.
The Short list for if you just want Free Social Icons on your website but are not interested at the moment in collecting email addresses for a newsletter or offer. (Some of these have a paid version to collect email addresses)
- Social Pug
- Sharaholic
- Sassy Social Share
- Quickshare
Here is my Free Top Pick, if you want Social Icons and are thinking of making an email list as people visit. Top of the list is;
- Ultimate Social Media - Free and has Icons and email collection

I do use Ultimate myself and find it to be very good they do give you a lot of options in placing your icons which is good. Wishing you continued success
Hey, Lily-

I've got Sassy Social Share, maybe that Ultimate Social Media would be better.
As to mailing, I've got MailChimp and find it really good.
Thanks for putting it all together, Lily!
