Genesis Simple Share Shortcode
<?php
// Adds a [social-icons] shortcode to output Genesis Simple Share icons in posts

// Add the code below to your active theme's functions.php file,
// or use in a site-specific plugin.
// The shortcode takes no attributes; change your icon settings via Genesis → Simple Share.

Sweet!

Thanks for this. I noticed that the shortcode won't fire more than once per page. Any adjustment possible to allow more shares? Thanks!

@lefthookdigitaltom I made an edit to allow it to be used multiple times per page. (It now generates a random location name for each instance.)

Just to let you know that the $Genesis_Simple_Share variable name has been updated to $genesis_simple_share (lower case). Using the capitalised version will no longer work.

I have tried to use this to shows icons on wigetized home page.. they don't show... source code shows them there but there's no visual output.
Any ideas?

@KramazGIT, it seems that it will only work if you are using static home page
