I am looking to add a Facebook icon that I see on sites all over the place... I would like my site visitors to be able to link my articles to their facebook accounts. I am wondering if you guys can point me in the right direction... I've seen a few facebook modules but they are either old and unsupported or they are not what I'm looking for.

Thanks

I think I found what I'm looking for... It's located here: http://www.addthis.com/

Does Drupal have something like this that is easy to add to my website? I guess if it's good enough for Sports Illustrated it's good enough for my site.

If you look over to the right, there is a block that says "Search Downloads". It's not perfect but for something as distinct as "addthis" it works very well.

Hi Michelle,

Thank you for the link... Would you happen to know the benefit to using this module as opposed to just using the html snippet that I am already using from addthis' website? If anyone else knows I would love to hear from you.

Currently, I have the addthis supplied HTML in a block and that block is assigned to desired pages.

Thanks

I forget the module name, but there is a module around here that adds the shiny facebook digg, etc.. icons. Just do the search, i thought it "official" like the facebook, digg etc.. you see on so many websites.

It's just easier because it's automatic. It gets added to your links section and you don't need to think about it. If you already have something working, then it probably doesn't matter much unless there's more features that I haven't noticed.
