By the way,

The way this list is being used recently is just like a forum. This
isn't a forum.

I Don't Like This Game System Administrator/Web Developer

Social Media Widget
http://forums.precisionwebdev.com

P.S. Coding the Social Media Widget takes up a lot of my already
limited free time, and I don't see a dime from it unless people
donate. It is donations that keep this widget up to date and the most
popular social media bookmarking plugin since Sexy Bookmarks. If
you're capable, please consider a donation. Any size donation is
greatly appreciated! Thanks!
