Why do you need it?

Almost all website have share widgets to let readers share posts on social networks. Most of these widgets are used by vendors for online tracking. These widgets are also visual which quite often become a distraction and negatively affect readers attention.

share_post creates old school URLs for some popular sites which your theme can use. These links do not have the ability to track the users. They can also be unobtrusive depending on how Pelican theme uses them.

Requirements

share_post requires BeautifulSoup

pip install beautifulsoup4
