Tumblr - Creating informative shares from the index page.

Tumblr lacks the relevant template tags to provide more information, when sharing a post on a social network site, when the share request is made on from the index page.

Currently there are variables {PostTitle} and {PostSummary}, but these only rendered on the Permalink page.

The Goal

The goal is to replicate the information Tumblr creates for the Facebook OG meta tags (which is rendered on the permalink page). Although it is possible to generate the correct OG tags on the index page, this only provides support for Facebook, and I want to cover more networks.

Breakdown

For each post type we should generate, and include if possible, the following {Post} information:

1. Title
2. URL
3. Description
4. Image

It is presumed your share urls will be inside the corresponding post type tag. For sanity utilise: {Plaintext} and {URLEncoded} for creating strings.

Afaik this is a complete working set, if there are any issue fork / comment and I will do my best to assist.
