I want to add Social Media buttons to my website. So far most of the plug ins I have tried to do this have been disappointing and full of glitches and compatibility issues with
Jen: I changed to Shareaholic and comment luv. If you look at my primary site. http://notasingledimeonline.com you can see how they look. I use Instatheme a paid theme for my site. Hope this helps. As far as your question goes you may want to reload the page and see if that helps or look at it on another computer. Some times you cannot see the changes from your own computer I have found.
Thanks Shawn. Sociable set up for me fine which was an improvement over some of the other plug ins I tried. But no Google plus. I will take a look at your recommendation.
I use social sharing toolkit. You can set it up for share, follow and like and it covers all the popular sites.
Mark, I used Sociable for a long time, but it didn't have all the buttons I wanted. Now I use Twitter Facebook Social Share. This one has Facebook, Google Plus, Twitter, and a Pin It button for Pinterest. You can add Stumbleupon and Linked In as well, but I don't use those. So far this has worked best for me.

Hey Pat. Sociable has had extensive updates and does now include FB, G+, Twitter and Pinterest. :) Rich.
Thanks, Rich. I didn't get the word about the updates, and the version I have didn't have Google Plus. It also often overlapped the text in my artlcle. The placement on the page didn't work with my theme. But I'm glad to know they've added the other social media networks. I spend hours and hours trying different social media button plugins before I found one I liked.

No probs. If you've found one you like, definitely stick with it. The training here also needs updating, as it recommends a separate plugin for Pinterest, even though Sociable now includes it. :) Rich.
I wonder why I didn't get the notification that there was an update available for Sociable. I used it for a long time even though I wasn't pleased with the buttons offered or the placement on the page. My other plugins notify me when there's an upgrade.

Thanks Rich, I will check this out and also will go through Kyle's class. I've got to like you say follow the training step by step and also to check to see if someone has asked the same question and review those responses first.. My impatience at time is my worst enemy but I am getting better. Thank You for your prompt response!
The recommend plugin in the training is Sociable http://wordpress.org/plugins/sociable/ :) Rich.
