    Hello Michelle,

    Good shout over here :)

    Every body wants that there blogs should get number of social shares on all the various platforms. Its good to have social
    media floating icons, this helps the people to get connected with us and if one do not have these social shares options
    on their space then it do leaves a bad impression behind on the people who visit their blogs.

    The video you shared over here is og great help.

    Thanks for the share.

    Shantanu.
