 * I already know how to set up AddThis on a non-WordPress site to load asynchronously,
   but how do I do it using this plugin?

 * Check out [this discussion](http://www.addthis.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=35161)
   for a resolution. Note that you have to modify the plugin code as well as your
   theme code.

 * It would be nice if async loading could be built into this plugin. I’m on the
   verge of just coding this all up into my theme(s) and going without this plugin.

 * I ve followed these instructions…
    It works on pages & posts, but fotr some reasons
   I can’t get it to work on categories. The script does not load then… If I remove
   this async customizations, it does… I can’t get why. ARG

 * Actually, removing async does not change..
