Ok so I was checking out some articles at Entrepreneur.com and I really like how they've put the site together. I don't think it's wordpress but I want to do something just like they do on my wordpress site where they have those social buttons right above their articles/posts all lined up and loading fast as ever. Quick link for easy viewing: http://www.entrepreneur.com/article/225514

They got the facebook, twittier, linkedin, google+ and that's all I would really want to do (though I don't know the difference between Recommend and Like. Maybe Recommend is better for certain business types?)

How can I do something like that in Wordpress? Do I need to individually grab the embed codes from each site or something? I don't want to rely on plugins if that's okay. Thanks!
 


addthis is good as well but for sites I really care about, I just add a few lines of image code into the header.php, its really simple to do and you remain in total control
 
Addthis isn't really working like I want it to. So looks like I'm going to have to code it myself. I have individually grabbed the <script> codes from facebook,twitter,etc. so now I'm looking for a way to post them into my posts/pages manually. Copying the scripts into the text editor in wordpress doesn't seem to work.

Is there a way I can create my own custom.php file or something, add the scripts into that, and then call them using a simple <div id or whatever on my post/pages?

Thanks

Put in functions.php in your child theme folder

What is it you want the social buttons to do? With AddThis you can style buttons and place them wherever on the page. As far as the site you posted you can place them at the top also with lots of customizations.
 
AddThis is very customizable so you can work it into your theme any way you want to, and it also has a plugin version for WordPress. I also posted another script there ^^ that will let you make the buttons look any way you want them to look.
