How to add a custom sharing service to Jetpack plugin

In this example I will show you how to add the bufferapp button for sharing posts with the jetpack sharing feature.

Create / find an icon

for the service that is a png file that is 16×16 pixels and upload to the website via media upload and use the link.

Locate the sharing code

The code you will need for the particular service in this case it was here: http://bufferapp.com/extras/button

Work out which part of the code to use

Add it in the right format as explained here (ignoring the [source] code which you don’t use at all: http://ryanmarkel.com/2010/08/26/adding-a-custom-sharing-service-to-wordpress-com/

Now go to the sharing settings and ‘add new service’

This is how it should look
