    Add This Social Media

    Hi Anthony.

     

    Not really a bug but more of a peformance issue.

     

    You had commented out the addthis JS from the showpost script and put the js in the masterpage head section. I noticed that the rendered links took an age to load.

     

    Not sure why this would be. So I reversed this and performance seems to have been improved.

    I think the addthis is generally slow and might ditch it.

    What are your thoughts?

     

    The blog I am working though is coming together.

    blog.promulgate.co.uk

    I have spotted some CSS bugs and might post them on it.

    Thanks again for sharing the project.

    That is a sweet looking blog! Nice skinning!

    Not sure about addthis. I like the fact that the links are there but I have no idea bout their performance. I'll have to look into it.

    Hi Anthony,

    I need to show Addthis social links on landing page but the issue that I am facing is that when someone tries to like a post, It increases the number of count for each of the posts at that page(Infact its not liking the post but the page). How can I overcome this issue. Please suggest. Thanks

    So you're talking about having multiple AddThis panels on the same page but all referencing different pages.

    You'll probably have to look into the AddThis API

    I don't know if it's possible, but if you figure it out, please let me know how ;)

    I am not that impressed with Addthis. On single pages the JS seems to take an age to parse. I recon you will take a performance hit getting status for multiple posts.

    i'm open to suggestions about a viable replacement to addthis.
