I've been wanting to add Follow Buttons to my site for months now and was glad to find this simple to use plugin. These days ones social networks really are keeping a brand in play so it was nice to see the big options of Twitter and Facebook but I wondered when and if we can count on Instagram being added to the mix of options. So many websites have official accounts to entertain their visitors and a button to direct those people to the account would be excellent.
