However, over the past 6 months or so i&#8217;ve encountered more and more problems with the plugins available for these share buttons. Their cross browser support is poor, semantically a lot are incorrect (they won&#8217;t validate with W3C) and sometimes they just simply won&#8217;t work. Instead of moaning about it, I decided to develop my own super-lightweight, javascript-free share buttons. These can be found at the bottom of any blog post, including this one.<\/p>\n<p>On top of that, I was regularly encountering an issue regarding sharing urls on twitter and facebook. I could obviously have used something like bit.ly but I wanted to personalise the experience for my own site. So i&#8217;ve gone ahead and developed my own short url system, with a custom url (for those that know me, they&#8217;ll understand the relevance of the url). Again, this can be viewed at the bottom of the page under the share buttons. Each url is automatically generated when a new blog post is created.<\/p>\n<p>If custom share buttons or a\u00a0short url system unique to your business is something that you would like to discuss, please <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jonathonmills.com\/contact\" target=\"_blank\">get in touch<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Share buttons are something that are pretty common place on sites these days, varying in all shapes, sizes and colours.
