How to modify the Facebook Share button

Tuesday, October 27th, 2009

The first thing I thought when I found out about the new Facebook Share button was: “Cool! I’m going to add it to my blog right away.”
The first thing I thought after I installed it was: “Why couldn’t they make the button height 15px like most of the other sharing buttons around???”

Yes, I was pretty annoyed by having buttons at the top of my blog posts with different heights, so I decided to try to modify the css of the button myself. Here’s the result:

.FBConnectButton {
height: 15px;
float: left;
background-position-y: -251px;
background-position-x: -1px;
border-bottom: 1px solid #1a356e;
}
.FBConnectButton_Text {
font-size: 8px ;
height: 9px;
}
.fb_share_count_inner {
height: 9px;
position: relative;
}
.fb_share_count .fb_share_count_right {
float: left;
}

Just copy and paste these few lines of code into your CSS file and your Facebook Share button should be the same size of your compact Tweetmeme button.

I may do more modifications in the future to improve the look of this reduced version, but for now this is usable enough for my blog.

Integrating Facebook Connect in your iPhone app

Saturday, June 20th, 2009

For the June South Florida iPhone Meetup Ben Bloch, gave a very interesting presentation about the integration of Facebook Connect and iPhone applications.

I personally believe that the integration between iPhone apps and existing social networks, like Facebook or Twitter, could really play an important role in your marketing strategy for your applications. Some of my applications already let you post your scores on your Facebook wall and I’m planning to integrate Facebook Connect on almost all the remaining ones.

A special thanks to Mobuilt for sponsoring again our meetup.
