 * Hi Danny and wordpress users,
 * Great plugin, thanks.
 * I’ve managed to figure changing the text before icons but would love to swap 
   permalink for shortlink in the pop up box. When using the popup for twitter I’d
   like to append @twitterhandle but with the full url it’s too many characters 
   so users are likely to delete the @twitterhandle.
 * I’m no coder. I tried swapping
    `$url = urlencode( get_permalink() );` with `
   $url = urlencode( wp_get_shortlink() );`
 * in template-functions.php
 * which almost works! the popup opens complete with shortlink and @twitterhandle
   BUT – then pops up a full sized new window with the same content.
 * Anyone else managed to do what I’m attempting?
 * Thanks.

 * Just to add. If I disable the .js popup I no longer get the shortlink, only the
   permalink.
 * Curious.
