Social interaction is really an essential part of your blogging career. Who doesn’t love social sites? Especially Facebook! Today I am going to show you one simple but powerful tutorial which can make your blog or website more popular on Facebook. If you are a regular Facebook user then you must be knowing the “shared via” posts. Usually it is used by Facebook applications and games. Now you can also use this to share any posts or any status using “shared via” posts. It will look like “shared via yoursite.com” or anything you want. It is really easy and I will show you step by step how you can create similar application which will share your blog’s name. Have a look.
To accomplish this task you must have Facebook developer account. To get this account you just have to verify your account by mobile number or credit card. Mobile number is best to do this.
