• How would you go about sharing specific content within your pages/posts? For example, media within a post.

    thissongissick.com is an example, they post music and have the share buttons for every post they make and the share buttons are connected directly to the specific content.

    Specifically, I want to post a youtube video. I also want to have a facebook like button just below that embedded video. How would I link the like button to the youtube video?

    I want to do this with the sharing options if possible. Do i need to write a plug-in? Doing this with the facebook developers info is pretty easy. But, of course, that wont give me the other share button options like twitter or email.

    See this on Facebook Open Graph

    Sweet, thanks! Just found it. I’ll check out the open graphs now.

    Why doesn’t Shareaholic send the post image when I share articles on Facebook?
    This is NOT a Shareaholic problem. Facebook does link sharing a little differently than most other services. Facebook expects the Title, Description, and Thumbnail of a shared page to be defined in the actual HTML code of a shared page. Unlike other services, Facebook does not accept the values you have set for your Shareaholic sharing widget. To change the title, description or image on Facebook, you will need to modify your theme.

    Try running Facebook’s URL Debugger tool on your pages to see how Facebook is reading your site.

    To change the title, description and/or image on Facebook, you will need to modify your theme’s header file according to Facebook’s Open Graph specification. With WordPress, this can be accomplished with plugins like the All in One SEO Pack plugin. Please see that plugin for details, and post in the WordPress or plugin author’s forums for more support

    HOLY COW! I owe you an apology! I changed my permalinks settings to custom structure and left it blank when I was initially setting up my website. I just changed it back to default and its working like i expected. I knew it couldnt be that hard!
