i guess your tutorial won't work properly as in your tutorial all the images as redirected to images/TechnologxShop/ not in any static link.
Please provide images download link too,

Regards.

very helpful tutorial sir!

Morevoer, is there any way to show the total share count?
I mean the summation of share through all social media we provided in our forum

[Technologx]

There is but it clumps the social icons up and they look bad like that.

You can also use addthis which can do this easily with tracking of stats.

That is true but this is for those coding freaks or the ones who like to learn.

Yes but with you can't get exact stats which really helps in SMO.
