Blogger 'Share on Facebook' Code

If you have a blogger blog, and want your visitors to easily share your posts with their facebook friends, you can make blogger automatically place a 'share on facebook' link at the end of each post. Add this code after the body of the post:

for layouts (in the "Edit HTML" pane with the "Expand Widget Templates" check box checked):

<b:if cond='data:post.url'>
<br/>share <a expr:href='data:post.url' title='permanent link'>this</a>: <a expr:href='&quot;http://www.facebook.com/share.php?u=&quot; + data:post.url'>facebook</a>
</b:if>

for classic templates:

share <a href="<$BlogItemPermalinkURL$>" title="permanent link">this</a>: <a href="http://www.facebook.com/share.php?u=<$BlogItemPermalinkURL$>">facebook</a>

and you'll also have a permalink before the 'share on facebook' link. You can make facebook sharing look good: specify the picture, title and description facebook will use; apply the tips on your post pages.

Where to put the code: It depends where you want the share links to appear, probably below the post. Likely after the <$BlogItemBody$> for classic templates and somewhere in the <div id='main-wrapper'> code for layouts. The specifics depend on your template/layout and your preference.

You can also add a link for sharing and saving for other social networking and social bookmarking sites too. If you'd like the code for that, please read the comments.
