> 3. One could also use the stand-alone FB Like button

>     E.g., this, a Tweet button, and the Google+ share button
>     could be combined in a short row for social sharing.

> C: Google+
> -----------------
> 1. Just a simple share button.

> D. Misc.

>     accounts.
> 2. Styling, and placement will probably need to change,
>     and we need to finalise which plugins to use.
