Happy birthday mum! I hope you enjoyed your birthday weekend and bowling. It was great to see you and hope you enjoy your week at the seaside! Here's one from last year with your mates in NYC!

After finally adding the forgotten details page, it got me thinking about what else to improve. I started to look at the social networking side of things. There's been a few facebook sharing links around on the site for a while, but there's always been issues with them displaying correctly. Facebook uses a system called open graph which provides a bit of structure to the content you share. The open graph system relies on meta data on the website - for those that don't know, meta data is basically data about data. The meta data in this case, provides additional information about the thing you are trying to share. So after a bit of an update and lots of checking on the facebook scraper, blog posts and photo albums can now be shared from the site, and should provide some contextual information related to where you are clicking the share button. It's certainly not perfect right now, but it works! To complement this wonderful new sharing functionality I've also added some fancy new buttons with a little help from sharingbuttons.io/. That's about all for now, in the mean time, go mad, share something!

. . . sadly folks the end of the trip is fast approaching, much faster than we had infact anticipated and now we find ourselves with just Paris to go. This is only a short one as we still have packing and showers left to go and checkout is in an hour . . . oh we're in Bruges (Belgium) by the way - I'm sure you'd all like it here - its very nice. We have now uploaded the rest of our photos including Strasbourg, Amsterdam and here. Hope the sun is as shiny there as it is here. Catch you all very soon, xx
