Facebook recently updated it's Share Button, which now includes a share count and analytics. The button is fairly easy to integrate, as long as you don't specify the base URL (meaning that it will not work for the main page of a blog - it will only submit the blog URL, not a post URL), or you manually enter the URL.
Configuring the Facebook Share button for Blogger blogs is a bit tricky but achievable. Read on.
The first thing you need to do is decide over what format you want to use for the button. You can find info on this, on the Facebook Wiki. After you decide on this, remember the 'type=', as that will define the type of Facebook share button.

You can see a live preview of the button, right here on Web Upd8. Test it on a post page and on the main page (it's different).
