+Why do you need it?
+===================
+
+Almost all website have share widgets to let readers share posts on social
+networks. Most of these widgets are used by vendors for online tracking. These
+widgets are also visual which quite often become a distraction and negatively
+affect readers attention.
+
+`share_post` creates old school URLs for some popular sites which your theme
+can use. These links do not have the ability to track the users. They can also
+be unobtrusive depending on how Pelican theme uses them.
+
+Requirements
+============
+
+`share_post` requires BeautifulSoup
+
+```bash
+pip install beautifulsoup4
+```
+
+How to Use
+==========
+
+`share_post` adds a dictionary attribute to `article` which can be accessed via
+`article.share_post`. Keys of the dictionary are as follows,
+
+1. `facebook`
+1. `google-plus`
+1. `email`
+1. `twitter`
+
+Template Example
+================
+
+```python
+{% if article.share_post and article.status != 'draft' %}
+<section>
+    <p id="post-share-links">
+        Share on:
+        <a href="{{article.share_post['twitter']}}" target="_blank" title="Share on Twitter">Twitter</a>
+        ❄
+        <a href="{{article.share_post['facebook']}}" target="_blank" title="Share on Facebook">Facebook</a>
+        ❄
+        <a href="{{article.share_post['google-plus']}}" target="_blank" title="Share on Google Plus">Google+</a>
+        ❄
+        <a href="{{article.share_post['email']}}" target="_blank" title="Share via Email">Email</a>
+    </p>
+</section>
+{% endif %}
+```
