Easily share your sites content on Facebook and Twitter and show a live count of shares.
ShareMe will allow your sites visitors to easily share your sites content with their followers and the rest of the users of Facebook and Twitter. The buttons also have a live share counter that is updated at regular intervals.
The FB Share Button also has the added advantage of displaying on hover the total number of clicks for those shares from Facebook back to your page.
The placement of the buttons is by default to the upper right side of your articles text, but can be easily changed by adjusting the CSS to your liking from the Plugins parameter settings in the Joomla backend. See the screenshots for more. If you need help with adjusting the CSS to your own liking, post a request on our support forums.
