I'm having issues with my AddThis button on my blog.

I'm having issues with my AddThis button on my blog.

So I'm trying to add the AddThis button to the front page of my blog so that readers can email/save/send individual blog posts, though it continues to save my homepage and the AddThis.com website is very unclear as to how to adjust the code.

I know that other readers may have experienced the same issues... how did you solve it? How should I adjust my code? (I'm using WordPress by the way.)

I'm not familiar with the plugin, but the way the plugin author has it set up on his website, it only works in the sidebar, which obviously means it will only work on the main page.

If you could work out what code it injects into the page, you might be able to add it to your template.

I'm sorry I can't offer more help.

Actually, I might be able to. This Wordpress plugin will apparently let you do what you want. I've tested it on my blog, and it seems to carry the page over fine. The only thing it doesn't seem to do is create the little popup. I found I needed to click the icon bar to get another page that listed the available services.
