There are four main ways to link external content to your profile:

• Click "Share Link" in the Publisher, which is located on your home page and on your profile. Enter a URL from an external site into the bar, and select the "Preview" link. Make changes if necessary and click "Post."
• Go to the Links page, enter a URL from an external site into the box in the right sidebar, and click "Post." Make changes if necessary, and select "Post."
• Find "Share on Facebook" links on partner websites. Clicking on those links will generate a Share Box in a pop up window, where you can select "Post to Profile" and click "Post."
• Go to the Links page and drag the "Share on Facebook" bookmarlet to your browser’s bookmarks bar. Whenever you are on a site and find something you'd like to share, click on the bookmarklet, select "Post to Profile, and click "Post."

To edit the title or description of a link you're posting, simply click on the preview of the title or description that you see after you click on "Preview" and before you click on "Post."

If a preview is not displaying correctly for your URL, you may need to contact the webmaster of the site you are trying to share to check whether it meets Facebook's requirements.

In order to generate a Share preview successfully, a website must include the following three meta tags in its source HTML:

<meta name="title" content="Article headline here" />
<meta name="description" content="Article summary here" />
<link rel="image_src" href="http://www.example.com" />

Please make sure that this site includes these tags in the section of its HTML. Also, note that these tags are case-sensitive and URLs must be absolute. For more information, click the "How do I make sure the Share Preview works?" link at the bottom of http://www.facebook.com/share_partners.php.

If you have determined that this site includes all of the necessary metatags but it is still not generating the correct preview, please submit a report here.
