I have created website to display BLOGS. I want to share the blog stories over Facebook and other social networking site like twitter, Gmail etc. When I click on Facebook Icon to share. A Facebook popup appears.

I want to display my Blog Story Title, a Description and an image But this popup only display my webpage URL.

I have been searching over the internet from last couple of hours and I couldn't find the solution till now.

I have pasted the html code on my .aspx page. I got this html code from https://www.addthis.com/get-addthis#.TnSXPuyqKuI[^]

XML

<!-- AddThis Button BEGIN -->
<a class="addthis_button" href="http://www.addthis.com/bookmark.php?v=250&amp;pubid=xa-4e7497424a0cf7de"><img src="http://s7.addthis.com/static/btn/v2/lg-share-en.gif" width="125" height="16" alt="Bookmark and Share" style="border:0"/></a>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://s7.addthis.com/js/250/addthis_widget.js#pubid=xa-4e7497424a0cf7de"></script>
<!-- AddThis Button END -->

My ASP.Net webpage Head section is as follows:

XML

<head runat="server">
<meta name="title" content="This is the Title" />
<meta name="description" content="This is a short summary of the page." />
<link rel="image_src" href="http://www.murrayhilltech.com/images/LogoColorNoText.jpg" />

Please help me how to set the Title, Description and image for the story to share on Facebook.

Thanks in advance.
