Further Facebook Integration Share

January 19, 2010

I added three things to my site to integrate with Facebook:

1. The homepage, www.CraigGreenwood.com, now contains a link to my Facebook home page.
2. Each journal entry now has a link to enable you to share content on my site with your friends on Facebook (and channel traffic to my site).
3. The same link is on each comments page, again allowing my visitors to directly share my content on their Facebook page.

Convenient for my visitors? Yes! Do I expect them to use it in mass? No. But its one more feature that my self-built Website has that many pages that are nicer than mine do not have. This is a nice feature to brag about if I ever want to charge people money to build Websites (and I do)!

I'm proud because I figured out how to do it in about ten minutes. It's more complex than it seems because I had to make it work with my database, but frankly, I know my database and I know the code and I am proud I can manipulate it.
