Social media icons
It is a good idea to have social media buttons at the bottom of every blog post. Make it easy for visitors to share your blog post with their social media connections.
The buttons on the right are from the bottom of this page. If a visitor clicks on the Twitter logo, they can share a link to this page on Twitter and so on. Click on the grey icon and they can print the page. Click on the plus sign and they have access to around 200 different social media.
