WordPress announced that starting today your readers can share the posts on blogs hosted on wordpress.com in a new and easy way. This feature allows blog owners to add sharing functionality from a range of services to the bottom of their blog posts.
The following services are currently available:
- Press This
- Digg
- StumbleUpon
- Email to a friend
You can control these new options in your dashboard by going to Settings > Sharing.
You can choose which of these services you want to display and in a range of different formats. If you have the custom CSS upgrade you can go even further and choose your own icons and layout.
Stats for all activity around this feature is available so that you will be able to see what content people are sharing and on what services.
For self hosted blogs, they will be realizing this as a WordPress.org plugin by the end of next week.
