Sharing WordPress.com Blog Articles

Suppose you want to customize your blog shares to add one more service (apart from Facebook, Twitter etc)

Here is an example on creating a new share service – We are creating a blog share button for Hacker News at http://news.ycombinator.com/

See screenshot below-

Navigate there – by logging onto your wordpress.com account,

left margin bottom (Settings- Sharing)

Now on Add Service-

We put Service Name as

Hacker News (or you can put it as Y Combinator)

on URL Dropdown

Put it as- Copy and Paste Exactly

http://news.ycombinator.com/submitlink=&t=%post_title%+&u=%post_url%

On Icon URL

http://ycombinator.com/images/yc500.gif

Note there is no need for an Excerpt if you adding URL to Hacker News -so we can put it as blank

And now share all you want, wordpress.com hackers 😉
