Facebook send button for Blogger

It had been some time since Facebook released their new Send Button.The Send button is a social plugin that websites can use to let people send a link to a friend through Facebook Messages, post it to a Group, or email it to an individual. Follow this tutorial to add it to your Blogger Blog.

Configure how your Send button should look like, using the options below, and then continue following the instructions in this tutorial.

Color Scheme	LightDark
Font	arial lucida grandesegoe ui tahoma trebuchet ms verdana
Float	None LeftRight
Location of the Button	Below the Post Content Above the Post Content
Display	On Post pages only EverywhereEverywhere other than Static Pages

Demo

1. Login to your Blogger Dashboard, and navigate to Design > Edit HTML.

2. Click on the checkbox  which says “Expand Widget Templates”

3.  Look for <data:post.body/> and immediately below that paste the following code.

<div>
<b:if cond='data:post.isFirstPost'> 
<script>(function(d){
  var js, id = 'facebook-jssdk'; if (d.getElementById(id)) {return;}
  js = d.createElement('script'); js.id = id; js.async = true;
  js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js#xfbml=1";
  d.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(js);
}(document));</script>
</b:if> 
<fb:send expr:href="data:post.canonicalUrl" font="arial" colorscheme="light"></fb:send>
</div>

5.Next you have to add the fb namespace to your template tag.Your template should have the specification for the fb tag that you have used. The following namespace declaration will take care of that. To declare the namespace, find

<html

and change it to

<html xmlns:fb="https://www.facebook.com/2008/fbml"

The following screenshot will help you out.

This is necessary for all FBML widgets using the fb tag.  So if you have already added the namespace while adding some other FB plugin, then you can skip this.

6. Save your template, and now you should have the send button working on your  blog.

Hmmmm I want something more than the plain send button!!

In that case, you can use the Facebook like button which can accommodate a send  button along with it. To know more about the usage, refer the following post.
