<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == &quot;item&quot;'>
<div class='share-box'>
 
          <h8 class='share-title'>Share This:</h8>
               <div class='share-art'> 
<a class='fac-art' expr:href='&quot;http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=&quot; + data:post.url + &quot;&amp;title=&quot;+ data:post.title' onclick='window.open(this.href, &apos;windowName&apos;, &apos;width=600, height=400, left=24, top=24, scrollbars, resizable&apos;); return false;' rel='nofollow' target='_blank'><i class='fa fa-facebook'/><span class='resp_del'> Facebook</span></a>

      <div style='clear:both'/> 
</b:if>
