Facebook is quickly becoming the most popular social network out there today.  With that said, many people are looking for ways to mix the interactivity of Facebook with their own web sites.  One easy way to get that done would be to add the Share Button they provide to your own layout.

The first thing you will want to do is point your browser towards the Facebook widgets page for the share button. Next, select the style of button you want – the button type or just the link.

Now, because we want to use the coolest one – let us continue to customize the button one (the one to your left, in the two pictures above).  Now you can select to include the counter (which tells you how many people shared this page)  and if you want the counter to be to the side (as seen above) or on top, like this:

Pretty nifty, right?  Now, all you have to do is copy and paste the code they give you into your web site layout.  When a user shares your content, they look at your page to find a relevant title and image, and media if you specify it. You should add <meta> tags to your page to help them find this information.

For more help on how to get it tweaked up or customized even more, check out the Facebook Share documentation.  Also, do not forget to meet up with all the Lunarpages clients, fans and staff on the Lunarpages Facebook group!
