 * The workarounds posted on the AddThis forum are not EASILY added to the AddThis
   plugins..
 * Unfortunately for WordPress users the only way to use the AddThis code to your
   site is to add it in manually (which is what I plan to do.. I will be using the
   tip I posted here: [http://support.addthis.com/customer/portal/questions/798770-html-validation-failed-using-encoding-as-an-alternate-solution-](http://support.addthis.com/customer/portal/questions/798770-html-validation-failed-using-encoding-as-an-alternate-solution-)
 * Thankfully I am using a theme framework so I can control where this code appears
   and what pages it appears on.. Which is probably a better solution than using
   a plugin anyway..
 * I WISH the AddThis team would FINALLY make their code validate!!!!
