* A note about Sociable

To make sociable look great, you may have to edit the CSS file it comes with.

1. div.sociable { clear: both; /* <= This rule has been added */ margin: 16px 0 !important; }
2.  
3. span.sociable_tagline { position: relative; }
4. span.sociable_tagline span { display: none; width: 14em; }
5. span.sociable_tagline:hover span {
6. position: absolute;
7. display: block;
8. top: -5em;
9. background: #ffe;
10. border: 1px solid #ccc;
11. color: black;
12. line-height: 1.25em;
13. }
14.  
15. .sociable span {
16. display: block;
17. }
18. .sociable ul {
19. display: inline;
20. /*margin: 0 !important;
21. padding: 0 !important;*/
22. }
23. .sociable li {
24. background: none;
25. display: inline;
26. list-style-type: none;
27. margin: 0;
28. padding: 2px;
29. }
30. .sociable ul li:before { content: ""; }
31. .sociable img {
32. float: none;
33. width: 16px;
34. height: 16px;
35. border: 0;
36. margin: 0;
37. padding: 0;
38. }

1. div.sociable { clear: both; /* <= This rule has been added */ margin: 16px 0 !important; }
