Thank you,

You can use plugin to do that just search for "wordpress social buttons plugin" in google or you will have to edit more than one file to change the desing of the posts and will have to go to every social network so i guess is better to use a plugin :)
Actually - single.php is the page that renders blog posts. loop.php will be template specific, and wont appear in all templates and Evan's answer doesn't technically answer what you asked.
So anyone searching - single.php in your template folder is the file that renders your single blog post page. to add something after the blog post add it directly after the_content()
Some posts will reference loop.php (including the default template) - in there you'll find the_content()
loop.php I think is what you're looking for

can anyone share on how to go about adding article effects such as the ones being showed here http://tympanus.net/codrops/2014/05/22/inspiration-for-article-intro-effects/ ; I'm planning to incorporate them on a wordpress platform, particularly on a single post template.
thanks in advance :)
Use Single.php for Display your single post
single.php is the single post page, the theme page for displaying just one post
Usually it in the theme folder /wp-content/themes/your-theme-name/
And Use Required Css / Jscript on Header.php or Footer.php for that article

I have recently started working with Wordpress, and I use the HTML Snippets plug-in to fill in the contents of each page. This works well until I hit the blog page. My blog page does not take anything from the page editor, so I can neither paste code snippets nor write anything in the WP page editor field. It only responds to posts. As a result, I am unable to add anything static to my blog page. Also, editing the template post_list file also leads to damaging the template.
How do I go about adding static elements to my blog page?
Essentially it sounds like you're wanting to add a page template to your theme, which you can then assign as your 'Posts' page through the Wordpress admin.
The question itself is rather too broad to answer without an attempt at coding it yourself, but you can read more about it on the codex: http://codex.wordpress.org/Page_Templates#Creating_a_Page_Template
I am using wordpress for my blog.
I used the some pluging to add meta data for each post.
Whenever I add the new post, the home page displaying entire article. Instead of that I want to display only description or small portion of the article in the home page.
Could anyone help me how to display description of the post only in home page.
Thanks in advance.
Use the more tag, as simple as that. Read more: http://en.support.wordpress.com/splitting-content/more-tag/
In your index.php (also could be in a separate file like, loop-content or so if your template used get_template_part function), there is a function call, like
the_content()
just change it to
the_excerpt();
and you are done. Read more on Codex.
I am new to Wordpress. I got this template that I want to use for my site. The template link is here. By default this template allows you to put all sorts of plugins on the homepage. Problem is I don't really want to style my blog the way the template comes. What I just want is to have the full details of my blog posts showing on the homepage and then the categories by the side. Does any know of any plugin that I can use to display blog posts full details instead of just lists (with or without thumbnails)
Your homepage should use the file index.php from the theme (located in wp-content/themes/name_of_your_theme). Open it and search for the_excerpt. It should be located in the Loop, as many things related to Posts in Wordpress.
If what you want to display in the homepage is the same thing than when a single post is displayed, then open single.php in the same directory. That's the theme file used when displaying a single post. Search for the_content inside the Loop and see how it's done. You want to do the same in index.php, more or less copypasting or replacing carefully the_excerpt by the_content. Well, it'll be a little harder than that (you've to understand what you remove, replace or copy) but that's the idea.
Relevant documentation in Codex: the_excerpt (esp. the 2nd paragraph) and Template Hierarchy (answers the questions related to which file is called for Homepage, single post, a category, a page, etc)
Is it possible to make a wordpress page have posts and static content on it? Like have the latest posts but also have some content from the page on it too?
look here: http://codex.wordpress.org/Creating_a_Static_Front_Page
and here : http://wordpress.org/support/topic/387710
But seriously, I just google'd for "wordpress static content posts".
Yes, it's definitely possible. You need to create a custom page template, however, so that you can edit the page content and also pull in the posts. (You can make them posts in just one category, if you want, and use some other tricks to hide those posts from the main blog page.)
