Setting up share functions

Media Factory has many options to share posts and submissions to other platforms such as Facebook Share, Facebook Like, Twitter, Google+, Send an email to friend and Stumbleupon. This increases the potential for a wider marketing campaign.  These share functions are found on a website’s entry page.
