Can someone familiar with wordpress answer some of these questions.

Basically I'm trying configure my social sharing buttons on my blog
I've got the twitter feed configured correctly but not facebook
and the RSS Feed.

1. How do I find my RSS Feed for my wordpress blog also
would feedburner be better sense they can get my post
by email.

2. I've created a Facebook profile but not a fan page or group
this is going to be a coupon site for a major retailer should I
create a fan page or group & when I do should I link directly
to the fan page or group or my default facebook profile.

3.What plugins would be good to use to save time sense
I will be posting a lot on the blog.

    I use "Sexy Bookmarks" for putting sharing icons on my blogs - you can customise which buttons you want to show, and there are some options for a text+arrow image as well. Also includes a Facebook "Like" button,

    best wishes,

    Jon.

    I second the Sexy Bookmarks. Super easy and you can pick from a ton of different social media sites to have links at the bottom of your posts.

    If you are using pretty permalinks, your feed is usually something like:

    YourDomainName.com/feed

    feedburner can work pretty well, it automatically sends out your blog posts as emails, but you don't have a lot of control over the process.

    If you use a service like aweber, you can still send out your blogposts by email but you can also send out other emails that are not just blog posts.

    There may be a way to do that alos in Feedburner, but I have not bee able to find it.

    Give Sexy Bookmarks a go. Pretty easy and straight forward to use, and should provide you with what you need to do

    I've got three social sharing buttons already setup so far up on
    the top right corner RSS-Twitter-Facebook.

    Will I be able to replace those social sharing buttons up on the
    to right with Sexy Bookmarks or will I have to use a widget!

    JMichaelZ: I will most likely go with Aweber instead of feedburner.

    Also you said my feed is YourDomainName.com/feed I get it set up
    and the feed seems to be working ok.

      Excellent.

      I have some of each - feedburner and aweber, and I mostly prefer Aweber because of teh additional control I get with it. Good luck with your site. It sounds like you are getting things put together well.
