Thank you, but you forgot to include the "windowpop" function :)
I'd love it if I can replace both the Facebook button and GA on my site with something static, thanks.
EDIT: Done, the URL is:

Ah, quite right, sorry...
<script type='text/javascript'>
function windowpop(url, width, height) {
var leftPosition, topPosition;
//Allow for borders.
leftPosition = (window.screen.width / 2) - ((width / 2) + 10);
//Allow for title and status bars.
topPosition = (window.screen.height / 2) - ((height / 2) + 50);
//Open the window.
window.open(url+document.URL, "Window2", "status=no,height=" + height + ",width=" + width + ",resizable=yes,left=" + leftPosition + ",top=" + topPosition + ",screenX=" + leftPosition + ",screenY=" + topPosition + ",toolbar=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=no,location=no,directories=no");

Thanks, updated.
Thank you, unfortunately HN eats that. Here it is, better formatted: https://www.pastery.net/fwytsv/

Genuine question since you mentioned probably removing StumbleUpon. Does anyone share with Google+?

It depends on your audience. There are more tech communities on Google+ than any other in my experience.

Ah yeah for sure. I guess I was specifically asking for you. That's why I didn't want it sounding like I'm just dismissing Google+. If you don't want to share, that's fine.
The code for Share on Facebook is (hoping HN doesn't mangle this):
<a href="https://www.facebook.com/" onclick="windowpop('https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=', 500, 500); return false;" style="padding-right:15px;"><img src="/path/to/your/FacebookShareButton.png" width="57" height="20" alt="Share on Facebook" title="Share on Facebook"></a>
I've been using static social buttons for a while now on my personal site as well as PortableApps.com to improve page load speed and user privacy. I've been building web apps for 20 years since the original Active Server Pages 1.0 and 2.0, so there are few people more qualified than me to post this comment :)
