Social media sharing codes

Social media is becoming a very important traffic source to one website. We can see social media share buttons or links in most websites ranging from news website to personal blogs. It is also a very important optimization area where many SEO experts recommend. There are many social medias we can share our links to such as Facebook and Twitter. Most of these website provide share button for us to easily integrate them into our websites, but these buttons usually have default styles(fixed size, fixed images). If we want to customize these buttons so that they conform to our website design gracefully, we need to know the links these website use to share links on them. We summarize some of them here.
