Thanks for the feedback!
While Jetpack doesn’t offer a built-in option to move your sharing icons around, you can follow this tutorial to make the changes in your theme:

I hope this helps.
It does help, thanks. However, JP seems to be targeted at less technical authors. When non-tech types see PHP code, they often glaze over and ignore it. Plus, my theme is updated regularly. With every theme update, I need to reapply custom edits.
Is there a philosophical reason the share icons aren’t widgetized, or is it just not a feature at this time?

If you need help with some of the code snippets in that post, don’t hesitate to start a new thread in the support forums; we’re always here to help and guide you through the parts that might be a bit more difficult.

You can avoid this issue by creating a Child Theme with your changes.

It just hasn’t been suggested by many people. If, however, it becomes a popular request, we’ll consider adding an option to Jetpack itself!
