• 2). Locate the code where you want to insert the share button.
  
  
• 3). Type the following code, replacing "link.html" with the URL and file name for where you want the button to go (for example, a Twitter or Facebook URL), and replace "share.jpg" with the URL and file name of your shared image:
  
  <a href="link.html"><img src="share.jpg"></a>
