  I want to post a widget for facebook (and twitter) that when clicked on will take you to my pages. When I try to insert the html code for the “facebook share” button, it renders only text. I would like to retain the images for facebook, how can I do this? Thanks in advance.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  You can upload image(s), place it in a text and hyperlink to your pages from it.

  No, actually it didn’t. I had to use an offsite search to get those:

  You can also try GetSocial or it’s online version – GetSocial Live.

  Both are lightning fast, easy to use and absolutely free!

  I can confirm both of those things, and add that my hits went up 15-20% on my blogs when I added the GetSocial buttons. They’re a little more in your face than other buttons and thus more likely to be clicked on.
