Wednesday Rewind: The 10 Levels of Intimacy in Today’s Communication

Dec 05. 2012

Once in a while, when I get bored, I like to look through the archives of this blog and reflect upon (and laugh at!) all the things I have shared with the web over the years. Because, heck, after 1,801 posts, even I don't remember everything. There's also the braggart in me who likes to shout, "Hey! I once wrote this years ago!

Not sure what I'm talking about? This is what they look like: (I should also note that when you mouseover each button, it will change colors via a nifty transition effect. Go see for yourself! ;-) ) Now, I know that there exist tons of WordPress plugins for sharing posts. But I also know that oftentimes, these plugins can slow down a site, and/or not have enough customization options for you to display exactly what you want and how you want it. And this is precisely why I chose to create my...
