This article will cover how to add, remove, and rearrange the Social Media icons in both the In-Page Share Buttons and the Floated Share Buttons. The process is very similar, but the settings are found in slightly different locations depending on which app you're looking to edit.
WordPress Users: Floated Share Buttons are currently only configurable from the Shareaholic.com dashboard, so you will need to sign into your Shareaholic.com account to make changes to the Floated Share Buttons. If you haven't done so already, you can link your WordPress site to your Shareaholic.com account by following these instructions here.
