 * Looks like the [sociable] shortcode does not work.
 * Any way to make it work?
    I like to manually put the shortcode in my page so 
   it can display anywhere I like.

 * Fixed this by doing a simple tweak. Seems as though he didn’t register the shortcode
   in his code…
 * Under the line **add_filter( ‘the_excerpt’, ‘auto_sociable’ );** in the sociable.
   php file (found under wp-content/plugins/sociable/), put this line:
 * **add_shortcode( ‘sociable’, ‘sociable_shortcode’ );**
 * Shortcodes should work like a dream now 🙂
