The ParentShack Blog

Responding to some user feedback from our good friend Josh, yesterday we added the ability for site owners to share their photos, videos and birth announcements on their Facebook profile.

To share a photo or video from ParentShack, log into your ParentShack account and view your site. Go to the photo or video that you would like to share and click the “Share on Facebook” link above it.

If you are not already logged into your Facebook account, you will be asked to. After that, just add an optional message and click the “Share” button.

The post will then appear in your Facebook profile with a link back to the photo on your ParentShack website.

Notes on this feature:

• Only site owners who are logged in and viewing their site can share content on Facebook. Your visitors can not see the “Share on Facebook” link when browsing your site.
• Your photo or video is not uploaded to Facebook, it remains on ParentShack. All that’s posted on Facebook is a message and a link back to your photo or video on ParentShack.
• Sharing your content on Facebook makes your site visible to all of your Facebook friends. Some of you may like this, others of you won’t and shouldn’t use this feature.

We’re working on sharing your ParentShack content via Twitter next. Check back for updates!

UPDATE: Read our related posts “Share on MySpace“, “Post to Twitter” and “UPDATED: Share on Facebook, MySpace & Twitter“.
