  I can see how to do it but not a description of what actually happens. What ends up on your Facebook page?

  – A small image and a link to the post on the blog?
  – The title of the post and a link to post on the blog?
  – The full contents of the post?
  – Are all the images in the post published as Facebook images?

  Regards,
  Murray

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

  You’ll always have the post title and link back published on your Facebook wall, you will almost always have a small excerpt published with that, and you’ll sometimes get an image with it too (it depends on if you included an image in the post and how Facebook is feeling at the time).

  Usually it also includes the tags/categories you use.

  Does it count in my sharing stats if I press the FB link from the actual article? It’s must ore convenient that way versus copying and pasting the link

  I believe it doesn’t. That’s what I’ve always done, but then when I refresh the page it isn’t there anymore (ie the number is zero).

  I use a mac and maybe it’s different. I don’t know, but I’ve only been blogging two weeks and the number of shares in my stats I’m sure have been mine. Thank you for responding.
