How to add this "Facebook Share" button - Please help

    If you open this blog post you will see a Tweet button and Facebook share button on the top right of the blog post.

    See the image below if you are not understanding

    I searched about such facebook share button and reached on this page

    http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like/

    But there is a problem,

    1. If I generate code from this page it asks to enter a URL - but my blog posts will have different URLs, I want the button to detect the URL automatically.

    2. Even after creating button from this page when I put it on my blog and hit the LIKE button it just shows in my facebook profile that "Jahangir likes xxx page" - I want it similar to this blog where you hit the button and it takes you to the facebook share page where you can "Share" the post by posting it to your profile.

    May be I am generating button from wrong plugin?

    Please help me?

    Wow, I'd like to be able to create a "share" button on my site as well, right now all I've got is the addthis button, which does serve this purpose but it'd be cool to have a FB Share button, especially one where it displays the number of shares to date.

    if you are using Word press blog then go to Plugins and find Face book plugin or make a widget from face book and add that HTML code on your site.

    Google "sociable facebook plugin". I think this might be what you're looking for.
    Hope this helps.

    My clients have started using one called sharebar. See businessblogs.co.nz for an example.

    Always glad to help!
    May you make a $1,000,000 this year (unless you made that and more last year, so this
    might be a bit of a letdown-:)
