Your social media settings allow us to integrate with popular social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter. These integration's allow more automated updating to your social network when using features like the built in blog.
e.g. When you create a new blog post and save, the system will automatically create a Tweet and Facebook post.
In the settings, we need your app details for each network but the posting actions will be performed within the individual feature itself.
