Custom Styling the ShareThis Button Using CSS Without API Calls

I was just doing a ShareThis icon for a client I’m working with and found that how to properly style the button is poorly documented.  In order to replace the whole icon and text, you are supposed to use the developer API. I only wanted to style the text, so I was hunting for some… Continue reading Custom Styling the ShareThis Button Using CSS Without API Calls
