The Lowdown:
This is a pretty nice sharing plugin allows ytou to easly setup the sharing button on your content. The only issue I found with this was in the limitations of where you can put the buttons. If you go pro you can use the additional fuinctionality for selecting more button styles and customizing the colour background.

Premium Plugin
Multi-Domains for Multisite
https://premium.wpmudev.org/project/multi-domains/
The Lowdown:
Well it seems I have embarked on a full blown WordPress Multi user website project so for a while you will see lots of MU plugins starting with this one. One of the great things with wordpress MU is that you have have lots of sites under one domain either as sub directories or as sub-domains if you have the right hosting. Now another part that was needed here was to have the ability to have several domains all in one spot and that the users signing up for the service could not oonly choose their sub domain name but can also choose their top level domain name from a selection.
This plugin handles that task beautifully and makes it easy when creating a new site to have the ability to choose from any of the 6 domains that are part of this group.
If you want to see this project as it evolves feel free to pop on oveer to https://thefityou.ca and have a look and even sign up for your own account.
