Thanks for the tip for wordpress but I am also having some Blogger blog…does this code work for it?
Thanks for the code. The problem is that the button shares the whole website and not the separated posts. Due to this every post has the same number of shares. Which code do you need to get the relevant article shared? I’ve put the code in the loop of the Atahualpa Theme WordPress. Does anyone have an idea? Thanks in advance.
