Social sharing = public sharing<\/h2>\n

One key thing to keep in mind about your site is that you won’t be able to share content out to other locations if your network is private. This is great news if you desire a heightened level of privacy for your members. However, if you’re set on taking advantage of the viral effects that can come with sharing, you’ll need to open up your site to the public. You’ll want to think hard about this trade-off between privacy and openness. Of course, you can always change this at any time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
