Description
### Why do we need this improvement?
Currently, the website lacks a mechanism for users to easily share blog posts on social media platforms. This limits the reach and visibility of the content, making it harder for readers to promote the blogs organically to a broader audience.
### How will this change help?
This change will ease the sharing of blog amongst social platforms.
### Screenshots

### How could it be implemented/designed?
Add social sharing buttons to each blog post. These buttons should allow users to share the post on popular platforms such as:
Twitter
LinkedIn
Each button should generate a pre-filled sharing link, including the blog post title, URL, and possibly hashtags. For example:
```Twitter: https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?text=Check+out+this+blog!&url=https://www.asyncapi.com/blog/2024-annual-summary#social-media```
The buttons should be visually appealing, lightweight, and non-intrusive. They can be displayed at the top or bottom of each blog post.

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating the blog post template and existing button or link styling, then determine how post titles and URLs are exposed there. Done means each blog post has lightweight Twitter and LinkedIn sharing buttons with pre-filled title and URL links, and the layout remains non-intrusive.
