A fast and JavaScript-free share widget for WordPress.
I am sick of social share widgets doubling the time it takes my site to load. These are pure HTML/CSS and will not slow down site load.
You lose tracking, but basic tracking will be added in the future (do you really look at your tracking, anyway?).
Install: Download the .zip file and install via WordPress admin.
