  7. Click the Select Sites to Share tab.

    1. Select social sites to display as "share" icons.

      Note: Both Luminate Online and Janrain native widgets display in this window. Janrain widgets are called "native-social provider." Choose only one option for each social provider. Selecting two options for a social provider will cause two share icons to display. Due to a change in Facebook functionality, choose the native-facebook option for Facebook sharing.

      Tip: The difference between Email Tell A Friend and Email is that Email triggers an email provider, such as Gmail.

      Note: If you are in the Plain Text Editor, the inserted component string often displays on the bottom line of the file. You must scroll down, copy the line, and paste it in the correct place.
