 * Hi Syed & team. First of all, thanks for this great plugin. I couldn’t agree 
   more that all the other available social plugins are bloated, over-complicated
   and slow. (When I run page speed analyses and tests for clients, the top offender
   is almost always a social plugin.) So it’s great that people who care about things
   like that now have a better option.
 * I just wanted to ask about a few differences that I noticed between the social
   bar that this great plugin produces — and the one on your site, which has:
 * -a “comments” module (icon + # of comments) that appears on the far right side
   of the bar
 * -vertical line separators between the modules
 * -text style & formatting (the title’s font, size, line height, margins, padding,
   color, etc are all different than the default styling applied by the plugin)
 * My questions are:
    1. Do you plan on adding the ability to include a comments
   module? And vertical line separators?
 * 2. I assume you styled the text to be consistent with the rest of your site’s
   heading elements (i.e. Oswald). For brand & consistency purposes, 16pt Arial 
   may not work well on many sites — so do you think you might add the ability for
   users to customize the plugin’s title element from within the settings? (I don’t
   have a problem tweaking CSS files, but I imagine many users won’t be comfortable
   with it.)

 * First of all, thanks for the very kind words.
 * Yes, there are some stylistic differences between this plugin and WPBeginner 
   mainly because we customized the bar for our needs on WPBeginner.
 * 1. Let’s start out with the separator. You can add this on your site by simply
   overriding the plugin CSS through your style.css file.
 * 2. To keep the plugin light-weight, we will not be adding any “style” options
   right within the plugin at least not for the foreseeable future. Because that
   is something that has a potential of bloating the plugin. If you want to customize
   the style, then again override the CSS from your theme’s style.css file.
 * 3. Lastly lets come to the comments button. Not everyone wants that which is 
   why we took it off. I can say right now that it is further down the list. We 
   might add email this // print this option because that is something I have had
   more requests for. However, we will give developers an option to filter through
   the output of the sharebar to add whatever they like. So yes expect more documentations
   from us 🙂
