    Hello Ben,

    I am happy to announce you that I’ve upgraded my website to a premium layout for the Tracks theme and I am overjoyed with how freaking awesome it looks!

    However, I have a quick question, if you don’t mind: is there something that I need to change in order to be able to share my posts individually? I am currently using the AddThis (link) plugin to share my posts and no matter which post I try to share, it appears to share the website link, not the individual post link (plus the website logo). Do you know of a way/plugin compatible with Tracks that I can use in order to share posts individually (preferably with the featured image as preview image)?

    Hey I’m glad to hear it!

    The Simple Share Buttons Adder plugin can do this. For the display settings, check off the “Homepage” and “Excerpt” option to show them on each post excerpt.

    As for the featured image getting shared, I don’t think this will happen automatically. You’ll need to add some meta data to the page that tells Twitter/Facebook/etc what image to use. The WordPress SEO by Yoast plugin has options (checkboxes) to add this code to your site. It also lets you define an image specifically for Twitter, Facebook, and Google Plus which is pretty cool.
