Hi, I’m just starting my first blog and I was wondering how you got the buttons for email, twitter, etc. Did you have to get each one separately as a plug in or does it come all together? I can’t seem to find one that looks clean like this. Thanks so much for your help
Hi Debbie — if you use WordPress.com, you can follow these instructions for adding share buttons to your blog.
If you use self-hosted WordPress, you can install the Jetpack plugin, then follow the instructions above to start using the share buttons on your site.
If you’re not using WordPress, it’s time to switch. :)
thank you Matt, I really appreciate the help. My blog is through my website which enabled me to install WordPress in 2 minutes and will be a link on my website. It’s a little overwhelming at first, but once I figure it out I’m sure I will LOVE being an official blogger :)) PS I followed the instructions for adding and it said go to settings-share, but I don’t have share under my settings…so I’m going to try the Jetpack and see if that works.. I love the look of your blog!!! Thanks again
You should be the first to show where you stand! Get that head start.
Alright fine, we went for it. :)

No problem Debbie, glad I could help. It sounds like you’ve got self-hosted WordPress, in which case Jetpack is the way to go. Happy blogging!
