Hey gang,

Phenomenal template. Seriously elegant and robust. I have one practical question I've been unable to crack. I searched the documentation and the support forum to no avail.

**How do I activate the SHARE THIS POST social media icons that appear on several of the pages? ** Apologies if I'm being obtuse, but I'm wanting visitors to be able to click those share buttons for whichever social media platform and set up the share for their relevant stream with appropriate tagging.

Thank you in advance for any information you can provide.

DS
