The problem is, if someone has the window sized or scrolled so that the whole ShareThis interface would not fit below the link, the whole inteface instead appears well above the link. But when it does that, itcover up (or gets covered) by other page elements. How do I get the widget to stay where I've specifically told it to appear?</p> <p>2) If I change it so that the Sharethis interface instead opens in a pop-up window, how do I define the pop-up window size? It's way too tall (twice the height it needs to be). also, how do you hide the URL, status bar, etc.?</p> <p>Bonus question:<br /> 3) Sorry, I do have one more question... how do you attach the ShareThis script to a regular old link? In other words, I don't want the either the standard icon or the rotating icon, I just want to attach the script to my own text and format the link using my own CSS.</p> <p>Thanks so much! </p> http://forums.sharethis.com/topic.php?id=2427#post-4246 Mon, 08 Feb 2010 22:12:33 +0000 Steve Ragan 4246@http://forums.sharethis.com/ <p>I'd have to look at the site, can you send me the URL?

All I know how to do is cut and paste. I'm getting super frustrated because all I want to do is be able to share my blog posts on Facebook. I want to be able to share the title of the posts as well as a little description as well as the video that is embedded in each post. I'm using a custom template I don't know if I have a footer or not. Right now all it does is post the title of the blog and the description of the blog. If anyone could provided me with the code to cut and paste and show me exactly where to put it I would greatly appreciate it.
