For every piece of content that you have on Sosauce, such as a trip, album, photo, or journal/blog entry, there are a variety of ways to share it with those outside of Sosauce.  Almost all of which are available together through "Share" link. The Share icon looks like this:     ...and is present wherever you can view a particular piece of content. For instance:   Trip   Photo     Journal   Once you open the Share link, you have a number of methods to share your content:   Post it to the Facebook feed , so your friends on Facebook can see it. ( For all Privacy Settings ) Post this link to other websites. ( For all Privacy Settings ) Email it to your friends by typing in their email addresses or by importing their addresses from web mail addressbooks. ( For all Privacy Settings ) Embed it ( For Privacy Public Only ) Post link and embed for the entire Jounal or blog ( This applies to the Journal app only, and it is for Prviacy Public Only )   This is what you'll see for posting to Facebook, post linking, or embed:     And this is what you'll see for emailing to friends:     What do these functions do? 1. Posting to Facebook Posting to Facebook is quite straight forward.  It is basically posting the content to the Facebook news feed, so your friends on Facebook and see it when they check their feeds.  If you click on the Post entry to Facebook button when you share, you'll see a window that appears, and all you have to do is to hit Post at the bottom, and you're done!      2. Post this link to other websites Posting links to other websites is becoming an increasingly popular way to share interesting content on the internet. Popular sites for this type of activity are Digg (a social news site, where users suggest interesting stories) or Facebook. Using the links in the share panel will automatically take you to the right place to finish the sharing process to these sites!       3.  Email Emailing is also straight forward.  Just type in your friends' email addresses and/or insert them from your web addressbooks (such as Gmail, Yahoo, Hotmail, AOL, and MSN).  You can write in a subject or message before you send.  Your friends will receive a nice post card like design in their email, and they can then get to what you wanted to share.     4.  Embed this piece of content For the layman, an embed is merely a method of taking a piece of content and inserting it as a self-contained unit on another website.   To embed, for instance, a journal entry, simply copy and paste the provided code wherever you are able to access or edit html on an outside webpage. Given the diversity of site behavior in this regard, we recommend you consult their help directories should you have trouble.   Have fun with these features, and if you have any questions, please check out our Help section at the top or bottom of the page.   If that's not sufficient, use our Send Feedback link at the bottom of the screen and shoot us a question.
