facebook

The new Facebook Share button is very cool and offers a new insightful information about your posts: the share count.
Alas, when no one has yet shared your post, the count balloon disappears in thin air. This give you layout headaches, because the widget doesn’t fill a fixed area in the page.
jQuery to the rescue! I wrote this simple code to fix the problem and show a neat “0” count beside the post. Thought I’d share for someone out there in need :)
