Social Media Buttons
I'm trying to add social networking buttons to an html page, following the directions here:
http://blog.hubspot.com/blog/tabid/6307/bid/29544/The-Ultimate-Cheat-Sheet-for-Creating-Social-Media-Buttons.aspx
I've attached the file I created based on that blog and links to developer tools on Facebook and Google Plus.
I don't have a website set up, so am just opening the HTML file in Internet Explorer.
The Twitter and Reddit buttons work, bringing up login pages for those sites, but the Facebook and Google Plus buttons don't work.
Questions:
1. Am I doing something wrong in the code?
2. Would those buttons work if they were on a real website rather than just my test HTML file?
3. Why do the Twitter and Reddit buttons work when the Facebook and Google Plus buttons don't?

Jason,
Thanks - great explanation (I couldn't have said it better myself ;-) )
<< (click your attachment above to see it work on EE's server) >>
Wow! I never would have thought of that.
<< if the Facebook script is testing for a header response from www.HERPDERP.INSERTURLHERE.com >>
Double wow! After my own failed attempts at this, I asked my son to take a stab at it. I didn't notice that he had put what he called LOL code in there.
As soon as I changed that to a real URL, it worked as an EE attachment -- see the attachment in my last comment. (herp derp.)
