I like how this video walked me through this step by step, verbally and visually. So many how-to videos on youtube have bad audio, video quality or presentation speed. Good job guys and / or gals.

@itzmeinstpete thanks for the encouragement

thinking the share buttons shouldn't be on the sidebar block, since i assume they share just the current article and not the whole page.

so maybe a block below the content, or find a way to embed it into the contents title section.

also the default size is quite large for all these buttons, especially considering that it isn't a very important feature to a lot of users that would be on a site.

@passerby500 all of that is configurable. You can actually attached the sharing icons two ways, either by a block or as node image links. You can change the size of the icons also. You can even install different sets of icons.

Excellent tutorial and module. A one stop social media module. Simple to install and manage. Thanks for this I will definitely implement on a test site ASAP. Best social module I've come across so far.

Good. This is really helpful. I have checked the drupal project pages. All modules are in beta stage. I will surely try in my drupal site vision4life.in.

Thanks for sharing!

This is great module but too bad that I can use only drupal 6.

It could be very helpful to me if the drupal 6 version is available.
