Don't be shy - now share it on Facebook

[SweetPotato]

A little tip to get your members to share content just before they post it.

It looks like this on a blog post. My colours tie in with my site so stand out naturally but the idea is draw members' eyes to it:

Css:

.story_box {

     background : #E00B3B ;

     float :  right ;

     margin-right :  20px ;

     margin-top :  2em ;

     padding :  10px ;

     width :  300px ;

}

And I changed the wording the Language editor. Look for "Share on".

Clever idea lol thanks for sharing...

[SweetPotato]

one of the inconsistencies with Ning I'm afraid. you don't get it at the bottom of discussions :-(

great stuff. A super plus for me is the language change, "Don't be shy". Hadn't even thought about changing the language on the share prompt.

Thanks

Changing the colour on my site made it difficult to read the text so I jumped into the CSS deepend ;) and added a border (i've incuded the change below), which keeps the text clearly visible but still jumps out at you. Recommended for anyone who uses greys as their text colours.

.story_box {

    background: #000000;

    border:5px solid #fed037;

    float: right;

    margin-right: 20px;

    margin-top: 2em;

    padding: 10px;

    width: 300px;

}

P.S. I added this code for people who, like me, need to start with the basics. If I've done anything wrong or inefficient, let me know so I can change it. It seems to have worked on my site.

Famous last words..
