I am using Joomla 3.x with JFBConnect 6.0.3.

I used the configuration to have the Tweet and Like/Share buttons appear at the bottom of all content on this site:
sedinaz.org

I cannot figure out how to get it to appear on the homepage. It seems that in older versions of Joomla (or JFBConnect), the choice of Homepage was on the Content Plugin - Like Options page, but for the life of me, I don't see it there.

I searched and read documentation and found the EasyTags but when I use them in a Custom HTML module on grid16 (just after the Donate PayPal button) they Stack (not one line like for articles) and the Count appears next to the Tweet (not like the one for articles).

I reviewed the options for Facebook's tag (couldn't find that page for Twitter). used this (without spaces after/before the brackets):
{ SCTwitterShare }{ JFBCLike layout=button share=true }
[Note that setting a "size" for the Twitter to small or a width for either did not seem to have an effect, in the event that the three buttons would be too wide for my grid16 space.]
I've been at this for over an hour now. What am I missing?

There should be a "Show in Frontpage View:" setting in the JFBConnect -> Social configuration area. That is only for Joomla content "Front Page" views though, which is usually, but not always, your home page.

Other options are:
1) Use the JFBCSocialShare module and add it to your home page. That has options to enable each of the buttons with different parameters. It also has settings for vertical/horizontal and can even be set to 'float' in a corner of the page and stay there even when a user scrolls.
2) Add the following to your CSS file to make the {JFBCLike}, etc tags show horizontally:
.sc_twittershare, .jfbclike, .sc_gplusone, .jlinkedShare {float:left;}
I hope that helps,
Alex
