Workin’ the AddThis

Sites like to be shared lately. Since its so cool, they also like to have a thumbnail, title and description.  All this can be controlled (when using AddThis) by adding a link and some meta tags.

Here’s an example.

Paste the following in the <head>

<meta name="title" content="U.S. Cellular Snowman Game" /> <meta name="description" content="U.S. Cellular snowman game description." />

<link rel="image_src" href="<%= Request.Url.GetLeftPart(UriPartial.Path).Replace("/Public/PhotoView.aspx", "") %>/Content/Images/thumbnail.jpg" />

The great part about this is you can independently control the output to your social media outlets.

 

Happy Coding
