I have a website I'm working on. I won't post the url. It's offline now anyway.

In the meantime, click on all the pretty buttons. Find out what they do. Social media sharing is the backbone of the viral phenomenon. If you’re like me, then you have no idea what that means or what any of the buttons are for... but you’ll press them anyway because they’re shiny.
So... in general, is it too long? Too unprofessional? Too...
