I can certainly attest this is a great plugin for Wordpress, but I had a question about it’s appearance. I’m working with a dark theme and wanted the “share” button to use a white background, just like you’re using here. I was curious how you did that. Thanks and again, great plugin!

Jason and Wes, the positioning is controlled by the Wrapper Style field in the plugin settings. You will need to use some basic CSS to get it to work correctly on your own blogs, but here’s what we use on this one:
float: left; margin-bottom: 65px; margin-right: 10px; position:relative; bottom: -65px;

Hi Ted, the behavior you describe (i.e. the title, preview image, and excerpt not showing up) is actually the result of an outage on the Facebook side (see http://bugs.developers.facebook.com/show_bug.cgi?id=7137). When Facebook is working as expected, the button already does behave in the manner you’re requesting.

This is an incredibly awesome WP plugin. Love it. I’m going to work on adding it to all the newspaper staff blogs I administer soon.

Only one question: Is there a way to use the Facebook api to look at the link being posted and automatically populate the share window with some of that content — post title, excerpt, photo — so you’re sharing more than just a link and a comment?

Is there a way to edit the placement of this button under the backtype (or in my case tweetmeme), like you have here if using the wordpress plugin versions?

How do you get the fbshare.me button under the tweetmeme button? Mine keep popping up to the right of my tweetmeme button instead of under it.

Any help would be appreciated!
