  Yo,

  Anyone recommend a relatively bug-free social media counter plugin / script for a website? I've been trying a few jquery ones available on the internet and have been met with varying degrees of success.

  I'd simply like a few social media buttons with their respective counters to hide in a footer.

  Any suggestions? Thanks!

  The site is not a blog btw. Just a small microsite for promotional purposes. So please, no WP or blogging plug-ins.

  ...so you want something you fully control? Not like http://sharethis.com/ or http://www.addthis.com/ ?

  Something I can control is preferable, but i'm not opposed to using a service like those above so long as they don't affect analytics / social sharing in a negative way.

  I came across Sharrre.com which is jquery, but it's kind of buggy and poorly documented.

  The best and easiest solution i've found:

  1) Visit developer section of social site you want a button from
  2) Grab the code / generate your button from an official developers site
  3) works like a charm!

  For facebook, twitter and g+ respectively:

  https://developers.google.com/+/…
  https://twitter.com/about/resour…
  http://developers.facebook.com/d…
