 - If you want an image to be shown when you share a post on social media, specify at least one image in the post's front matter, for example: `images: ["/2016/10/screenshot.png"]`
 - Use the `<!--more-->` tag in posts to control how much of a post is shown on summary pages
 - Disable comments on a post by setting `comments = false` in its frontmatter
+- Disable social sharing icons site wide (or on individual pages/posts) by setting `sharingicons = false`
