In the last post<\/a>, I talked about using text widgets to add links to services like Tumblr & Overdrive to your website.\u00a0 This time, we’ll see how to use some of the widgets built into Jetpack to add Facebook, Twitter, and other social networks to your site.\u00a0 First, you need to make sure that your Jetpack plugin is connected.\u00a0 If you log onto your Dashboard and see this\u2014<\/p>\n
