Add share icons to blog posts for improved discoverability

[abhi1693]

Description:
Currently, blog posts do not include any sharing options. To improve visibility and engagement, we should add share icons (e.g., X, LinkedIn, Reddit) to each blog post.

Suggested Implementation:

• Add a share component at the bottom or side of each blog post.

• Include support for:

  • X (Twitter)
  • LinkedIn
  • Reddit
  • Facebook
  • Whatsapp
  • Copy Link

Optional Enhancements:

• Responsive layout for mobile devices.

Benefits:

• Increased content reach.
• Better user engagement.
• Easier content distribution.

You can already do this with services like Sharethis and use the custom HTML module.

This functionality is use by such a low percent of users it really wouldn't be worth the time to integrate it. I was the product owner on a tourism site with millions of view a month and we had about 150 shares via the Sharethis buttons yet 15% out our traffic was from shared social media links. Those links were done via copy/paste of the URL. It's how 99.9% of links are shared.

"Moovweb studied 61 million mobile sessions and discovered that 99.8 percent of mobile users never engage with social share buttons. In fact, mobile users are 11.5 times more likely to click ads than they are to click social share buttons." Source That was from 2019 and I haven't seen anything to indicate it's improved.
