Adding AddThis

We're happy to be adding features to this blog that will hopefully allow us to reach more people. One such feature we just recently added is AddThis. AddThis allows you, our loyal reader, to share our blog posts via e-mail, Twitter, facebook, and literally hundreds of other services. While this in itself isn't really blog worthy, the service we received from AddThis is.

We admit we're no experts when it comes to web development, blogging, CSS, etc. We do our best, but sometimes we just need a little extra help. Such was the case with AddThis. We were able to get the standard toolbar to work, but we really wanted the fancy pants version. Very simply, we contacted AddThis, and within a matter of minutes we had a response back from one of their tech guys, Rahf. We granted Rahf temporary access to the admin section of our blog, and a few email exchanges later, we had our fancy pants toolbar that you see now under each post. While it wasn't perfect at first (our blog sidebar mysteriously moved to the bottom of the page), Rahf worked hard to make sure it was just to our liking.

So thanks to Rahf and the entire AddThis team. Hopefully you'll use their product to share this post and many others to come. Give it a try!
