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!

This is just a quick note to wish mum a very happy 60th birthday. We're sorry we can't be there to spend the day with you but hope you enjoyed last weekend and have a great time at the seaside
