Ask HN: For god's sake, how do I get custom social share buttons like this?
All the good implementations of share buttons on content sites come in vertical columns, like so:

So why the hell doesn't ShareThis.com or AddThis.com provide default vertical buttons like that? This pisses me off cause I've been wanting to integrate this into my site for a long time, but every time I start delving into it, I find that it's going to take me forever to customize them so they fit nicely in a vertical space.
Do any of you know of a simple script that will allow me to put these social share buttons on my site in vertical form without having to go through a bunch of tedious customizations?
- canatan01 14y agoThere are many Wordpress plugins that do this (eg http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/sharebar/ http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/sharebar/ or http://www.designchemical.com/lab/demo-wordpress-slick-social-share-buttons-plugin/ http://www.designchemical.com/lab/demo-wordpress-slick-socia... or many others ). Just copy the code and paste in your website.
