In addition to all the new improvements are are already making, we are planning on rolling out several smaller updates with new features. Today we just updated the site with one of these new features. Everyone wants more integration with existing social networks so that's one of the things we are working on.You'll notice on this blog that at the top next to the comment count we have a "tweet" button and a "share" button for facebook. These and addition to the new AddThis button that you see at the bottom of this post are new plug-ins for the blog. You can enable these on your blog in the settings under the new "Plug-ins" tab. It's as simple as that. Just enable the plugin and it will automatically show up on your blog.We've also added a new "AddThis" block that you can add to any web page and it will add the same AddThis button that you see on this blog to any page on your site. You can even set what URL you want shared in case it's not the same as the page the button is on. You can find this block in the "widgets" section of your web blocks in the page editor.
