 * My suggestion is support the shortcode so that you can insert these within the
   post with a simple shortcode: [rt_social_buttons]
 * example code:
 *     ```
       function register_shortcodes(){
          add_shortcode('rt_social_buttons', 'rtsocial');
       }
       add_action( 'init', 'register_shortcodes');
       ```
   
 * One other question is it possible to change the link included in the excerpt 
   or the auto populate shared text? For example I am using these on a “thanks for
   signing up share with your friends confirmation page” so I would rather direct
   new traffic to the start of the sign up process.

 * Hi,
 * The shortcode idea is good. We will consider it. The latter however is a request
   on the edge. It will complicate the plugin and take it away from being a simple,
   fast and efficient plugin.
 * Regards.

 * Ah understandable.
 * I actually just went through and replaced all the get_permalink with get_post_meta(
   $post->ID, ‘share’, true)
    and get_post_title with get_post_meta($post->ID, ‘
   share_title’, true)
 * So it is getting the info from the custom fields.
 * As it is only being used on a few pages have not noticed any speed differences.

 * Yes, a shortcode would be great. Otherwise, I am stuck with Sharethis.. :/
