Detail

Social media is the best way to get your content spread across the net quickly and easily.

You want to make it as simple as possible for your visitors to share your content with their friends and followers.

The Floating Social plugin lets you do just that. It hugs your content, scrolling with your articles – no matter where your visitor is on the page they can always share with just one click!

Check out these features:

  • Share content on Twitter, Facebook, StumbleUpon, Google +, Reddit and Del.icio.us
  • Style your social media box to fit in with your theme
  • Position it to work with your layout
  • Watch it glide smoothly alongside your content
  • Resize your window and see it act responsively, moving inline

This powerful plugin is a great way to supercharge your social media engagement.

We love it so much that we use it on WPMU.org.
