 * I am using Sociable plugin on my home.php under my theme. I added this to the
   code <?php if( function_exists( do_sociable() ) ){ do_sociable(); } ?> and it
   works fine. The problem is what it sends to facebook is not the default url but
   instead it sends the first permalink from the first post in the list. Below is
   what it sends
    [http://www.cateringservicenj.com/catering-service-manalapan-nj-07726](http://www.cateringservicenj.com/catering-service-manalapan-nj-07726).
 * Does anyone know why it would not send the base url?

 * So, i know why know it is happening, just don’t know how to fix it. I am using
   the /%postname% for the permalink setting. Apparently the home.php just picks
   up the first post name to pass to facebook. Anyone know how to override that 
   just for the homepage? Is there any way to add a permalink to the home.php?
