I get asked this a lot.

However, although it is a plugin of my own, it’s not a “proper” released one, as it has my links hard-coded into it. For this to be viable I’d have to put an admin screen, etc, in it.

But, if anybody wants the plugin to modify themselves with their own site links, then let me know and I’ll happily email it to you.

Hi David,

What’s the “Find Me Online” widget at the top of your page? It’s Brilliant.

Thanks David for a simple plugin. It is so cool and I had no problem installing it especially considering I just started using Wordpress for my new Travelogue.

Hi Einar, thanks for the comments.

Yes, you’re right about the validation. It’s my intention in the next few weeks to go through all my plugins and give them a good “spring clean” – ensuring validation is one thing I’ll be doing. I’ve had a number of suggestions recently about various plugins that will be useful to implement with others too, so these are the kinds of things I’ll be doing.

First of all, thanks for this wonderful plugin. I am going to use it on the new version of my norwegian website about waterpolo, http://www.vannpolo.org.

However, when I validated my site after activating your plugin the Facebook link caused a validation error. This is because of the ampersand in the URL. I fixed it easily by changing “&” to “&”, which W3C recommends, on line 32.

Can you please implement this change in your plugin, so I don’t have to do this manually for every update?

You're right Iman. It appears that the share page has kept step with recent Facebook changes but sharer hasn't. I'm looking at a change in the code anyway, so may possibly implement a change to sharer.

Links Works, But Cancel button didnt work well, the windows still open after we push the Cancel Button. Now I have replaced the shares with share, and Cancel button did work well now.

Iman, that link works fine for me. Although producing slightly different screens, both share.php and sharer.php should work – sharer.php is the one that Facebook uses in its examples, and hence why I’ve used it.

Are you saying that this link does NOT work but does if you replace it with share.php?
