Have you been wondering how to add the Facebook share button to each of your blog posts? Simple. It’s as easy as using this share button Javascript directly from Facebook’s site. I just Googled facebook share links and it was the first item on the search list.
It gives you options to make it a button or a link. With the button option you can display a counter above the button, to the side or have no counter at all.
For those of you using the WordPress platform, copy the code and paste it into the body of the single.php file within the loop. I recently stumbled upon the ease of editing the PHP code by accidentally clicking in the editing window of one of the files. That’s all you have to do. To add code click on Presentation > Theme Editor > Single Post and click in the editing window. It will change from gray to white. Then paste the script and click the Update File button.
Placing the code in the Single Post file is what automatically creates the share button on each post. Give it a shot and see if you don’t have those great posts you’re writing passed on to a wider audience.
Great tip! Happy New Year, Martin.
Thanks Deb. Same to you.
