By default they are on, but you can disable them by adding the
following configuration value:
[params.sharingicons]
hide = true
If this parameter is undefined (or "false") then the icons will be
shown. Furthermore, you can disable specific icons by setting their
value to "false", ie:
[params.sharingicons]
facebook = false
Any icons not named will be shown. Currently there a four icons
configureg: facebook, googleplus, linkedin, and twitter.
Uses basic data like title, description, author, and date that we
are using with existing vanilla meta tags, but extends them to OG
and Twitter Card tags. See [0] and [1].
For the Twitter summary cards specifically, you can optionally add
attribution for your username by adding something like this to your
configuration:
[params.social]
twitter_username = "@mralanorth"
... and for posts with images, you can specify an "image" in the
post's front matter like so:
image = "/2016/09/IMG_20160916_174409.jpg"
And then the theme will opt to use Twitter's "large" summary card.

Still need to figure out how to determine which page we're on so we
can set the "active" class accordingly (for Home we have the IsHome
variable the we can check).
Both work effectively the same for my use case, but the "type" is
more obvious when looking at the code. See the documentation for
Hugo's page variables for more info[0].

Use the post's author from frontmatter, or else use the author from
the site's config. You MUST have one of these set or else you will
get an error during site generation. I think it's better to force
the user to define an author tag rather than only printing it if
it is defined because it is a good practice to help bots understand
content.
Use the post's meta description if it exists, otherwise use the
one from the site's config. Set them using the "description" key
in frontmatter or site config.
Note: this means there is no way to NOT have a description. You
must have *at least* a site-wide description and *optionally* a
description for each page/post's front matter.
The W3C's HTML5 documentation says that header strength (h1–h6) is
only important per section, but their validator[0] recommends only
using one h1.
