How to add social buttons to Google sites facebook, twitter and linkedin

I created a Google site www.bacnetusergroupne.com and needed to add social share buttons so site visitors can share site pages with their social media or with other people. It's not a straightforward process unfortunately.

Currently I integrated the following buttons: share/like on Facebook, twitter, Google+, LinkedIn

To add LinkedIn I used these instructions - worked like a charm. I reduced width from 250 to 150 so the gadget will be aligned left.

To add Google + - go to the page where you want to place the button. Click on Edit. Then go to Insert - More Gadgets - and in the open box type Share. You will see Google + button. Then specify an URL to your webiste in the button configuration, choose parameters you want and you are done.

To add Twitter - go to the page where you want to place the button. Click on Edit. Then go to Insert - More Gadgets - and in the open box type Twitter. Specify screen name of your twitter account, choose parameters you want and you are done.

To add Facebook share and like buttons - go to the page where you want to place the button. Click on Edit. Then go to Insert - More Gadgets - and in the open box type Facebook Share. Choose the share/like button you like, choose parameters you want and you are done.

Unfortunately didn't figure out how to add email button to the site - if you have any idea please let me know. Or if you know any good Google gadgets which have all the sharing buttons together let me know too.

    Here's a link to our share buttons: https://shareaholic.com/pub...
    You can add all the buttons you need, and have them appear on the top and/or bottom of posts.
    For example, The Social Media Hat uses our buttons above their content and at the end of their posts. See how our buttons look on their site:

    Of course, you can customize your buttons in a variety of ways in your Settings.
    If you have any technical issues, feel free to reference our support center (http://support.shareaholic.... but if you can't find what you're looking for, submit a request and we'll be glad to help.

How to export issues, backlog to file in Jira Next-Gen software project

Image
I am using Jira next-gen for my project and I created a backlog (roadmap) and the board. My developers found it is time-consuming to go thru each of the items, click on the issue, comment then click on another one.. They wanted to see all of them in the file. Apparently it is not very straightforward and I wish Jira developers simplified it by making an Export button at the top of the right corner. Here is how to do it.  When you are in the Next-Gen Project go to Filters - Advanced Issue Search Add caption Then filter for what you would like to export and then in the upper right corner click on Export button and choose what format you would like.
