Within the last few months, I have written several guest posts on Freelance Folder that focus on topics relating to web site design and development. As I spread my wings in the blogging world, I’ve recently been approached by Mashable about contributing a WordPress related post to their blog.
Mashable is the world’s largest blog focused exclusively on Web 2.0 and Social Media news. With more than 6 million monthly pageviews, Mashable is the most prolific blog reviewing new Web sites and services, publishing breaking news on what’s new on the web and offering social media resources and guides.

I like Slick social share button because It’s one of the best and easy to use plug-in to advertise websites in public networking. It contributes Facebook or myspace, Twitter and many more control buttons to your website, either in a sailing bar or moving board. You can see all the public analytics in the administration public research page.
Hi Selene. I read the full article & here is no doubt that WP is a great platform for bloggers & content marketers.
