Shareaholic ‘Sexy Bookmarks’
I've been getting a number of questions about adding a Google +1 and/or Pinterest buttons to a WordPress site. And to tell you the truth, I've had to help several clients recover from plugins or script add on's that add these buttons as a standalone that end up conflicting with other plugins.
So, it got me to thinking how much I love and use SexyBookmarks on my Ustamp4fun blog and I actually use it myself to post my articles to Facebook and to Twitter. So in answer to people who are having trouble linking their articles from Facebook… this is also a solution for you.
The only drawback was that SexyBookmarks didn't have a Pinterest button… which got me to asking Uncle Google… and I found two things 1) WordPress.org Plugin Repository no longer carries SexyBookmarks by Shareaholic and 2) the latest version DOES have Pinterest, BUT can only be downloaded via www.shareaholic.com.
If you are reading this on my site, you can watch the video below on how to download and configure Shareaholic. I strongly suggest that you create an account from the beginning so that you can get more information about the information being shared.
By posting this video, I do not claim to be an expert and cannot help you with the plugin if it does not work for you… you will have to contact Shareaholic for that.

Actually, I think there is a sidebar widget plugin made by someone else that is available through WordPress.org’s download (or autodownload inside your WordPress). I’ve never tried it.

It's not on the WP.org depository because Sexy bookmarks has code in it that is tracking your site's visitors & providing your visitor's info to 3rd parties.
It's been a couple of months or more since sexy bookmarks re-submitted the plugin & WP.org still doesn't have it on their site.
Kinda dicey
