How to use:

• Create a custom Facebook button (e.g. btn.png)
• Put it into the images folder
• Now use the “<a>”  HTML tag

  <a href="#" target="_blank"></a>

• Add an image link now

  <a href="#" target="_blank"><img src="#" alt="Facebook" /></a>

• Now change the image path with your Facebook share button’s image path.

  <a href="#" target="_blank"><img src="images/btn.png" alt="Facebook" /></a>

• Then copy the Facebook share link

  http://www.facebook.com/share.php?u=[URL]&title=[TITLE]

• Replace [URL] with your page URL(http://www.cybernetikz.com/)

  e.g. http://www.facebook.com/share.php?u=http://www.cybernetikz.com/&title=[TITLE]

• Replace [TITTLE] with your page tittle or your custom message (e.g. Hello Facebook).

  e.g. http://www.facebook.com/share.php?u=http://www.cybernetikz.com/&title=Hello Facebook

  <a href="http://www.facebook.com/share.php?u=http://www.cybernetikz.com/&title=Hello Facebook" target="_blank"><img src="images/btn.png" alt="Facebook" /></a>
