Facebook share button doesnt include content.

    On my wordpress site I try to add the share button using this

    <a name="fb_share" type="button" href="http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php">Share</a><script src="http://static.ak.fbcdn.net/connect.php/js/FB.Share" type="text/javascript"></script>
    PHP:
    When I test the button it does not share the single post, just the main page of the blog. It also grabs the wrong image. At one point I had everything working but I broke it when I installed a facebook share plugin :mad:

    Also, if I go on my facebook profile and type in my domain it doesnt provide a description and content.

    Im sure these are very basic but Im having a lot of trouble and would appreciate some help :)

    Check out addthis.com
    Its the easiest way to place a share link and includes almost every social network available.

    Even if I use that it doesnt provide a description of the post. Is it possible that I am putting the share code in the wrong place? Do I need to edit some code somewhere else?

    If you are you putting the code in an iframe... probably this is the reason.
    Whats your url?

    I think the problem is something to do with my code. It doesnt matter if its facebooks share button or a plug in, it wont grab the content of the post. Any ideas :)
