How to automatically add content to a post using a URL
When I add a link to a Facebook or LinkedIN post, content from the link is automatically added to the post. How do they decide what part of the page to display? I want to do something similar in my blogging tool that I am creating. I am using Coldfusion and javascript. I realize I can use CFHTTP to get the content of the entire page but that is not what I necessarily want to show on my blog post.
