The button panel can be fully customised on the plugin settings page in Wordpress admin:

* Type - Select either a "floating" button or a "Sliding" tab
* Location - Select the position of the button panel.
* Offset - Position the panel by offsetting the location from the edge of the browser in pixels
* Direction - For sliding tabs select whether to list the buttons horizontally or vertically.
* Floating Speed - The speed for the floating animation (only applicable for the floating type)
* Animation Speed - The speed at which the panel will open/close
* Auto-Close - If checked, the panel will automatically slide closed when the user clicks anywhere in the browser window
* Load Open - If checked the sticky/floating panel will be in the open position when the page loads
* Default Skin - Uncheck if you wish to use your own CSS styles for the button tab and panel
* Tab Image URL - Enter URL if you wish to replace the current default tab image

= Twitter URL Shortening =

The plugin includes the option to select URL shortening for twitter from several services:

= The buttons appear on the page but the floating/slide out tab does not appear. Why? =

There are several reasons why this may occur:

1. The plugin adds the required jQuery code to your template footer. Make sure that your template files contain the wp_footer() function.

2. Other non-functioning plugins which have javascript errors may result in the plugin not being able to initialise the relevant jQuery code. Remove any unwanted plugins and try again. Checking with Firebug will show where these error are occuring.

3. If your theme files or another plugin incorrectly loads the jQuery library this may overwrite the plugin files - check your source code to see if jQuery is loaded a 2nd time after Wordpress has loaded the file.
