Does anybody have any recommendations for a good, lightweight social sharing plugin that works well with GD?

Mashable. I am going to log a support ticket with them as it allows me to put a share button on both the blog posts and GD listings but on the GD listings the button is duplicated.

Ah, yes, that plugin has a lot of options.

Does it have a shortcode for the details page or sidebar? Or is it more complicated than that?

I think a big part of choosing is if you want/need analytics with them. If not then the plugin can be lighter.

They do have shortcodes. Where would I apply them?

Hi justmark,

Thanks for your reply. I do see some shortcodes listed here https://wordpress.org/plugins/mashsharer/ . You can insert it into a sidebar to display it on your details listing page.

Would I use a Custom HTML Widget in the right sidebar for this?

Hi justmark,

Yes, you can use that or a text widget.
