Ah it appears the meta data is truncated after 150/160 so its recommended you keep it under that value for descriptions. Apologies, it is a valid point. Ok this implementation should be trivial, but then again it is a Friday, my brain may be starting to think of beer and snacks now but I’ll see if I can get it into build 10

That’s understandable…you did give Sunday tech support last week… Have a great weekend OFF.

@Norm, Thanks for your reply. I understand that most of the above mentioned things can be done through “CUSTOM CLASS” but it takes lot of time and effort.
It’s a suggestion that if you can implement these thing within the Option/Right-side panel it would be great for beginners!
I’ve also added “14.” and “15.” point check if that can be implemented.
Thanks
I would like social share buttons, like Tweet button.
For example: Pinterest, Facebook, Google+ …

@ac.afd the problem with trying to add more to the sidebar defeats the point of it, the sidebar is by nature supposed to be the bare essentials, the basics. It’s appeal right now is that it’s easy to understand, the more that is added to this area the more complex it will become and ultimatly the sidebar would just end up looking like the class editor which right now is more work to use in your opinion.
Getting the right balance is hard work, but it’s not impossible. That said Blocs will only ever do the basics in the sidebar, the class manager and editor offer vastly superior control of objects in a site and are well worth learning, they are basically like layer styles if you come from a graphic design world.
@Ben I was just about to say that Blocs already has social sharing options, but I see what you mean now. You can only navigate to your own social feed rather than allowing visitors to share what they found directly from your page.
I assume this can be done by some other means, inserting code from sites like Facebook, however it would be nice if this could be done with the existing Blocs and simply have a sharing option added in the side panel when you click on the image icon and define the interaction.
Hi Norm,
It would be great to improve the asset manager: being able to re-arrange assets and add custom groups/tabs for assets.
I am dealing with a 100+ product images website that needs updating frequently. Navigating the asset manager and finding the right image becomes very difficult.
Thank you.

@Flashman Thanks, but I think it is two different things.
Currently I’m using a social links.
I would like the premade social share buttons.
Pinterest, Facebook, Thumbler, Googel+ …
Social links, only link my social activity. Social share button is share things with your followers.
I’m only designer, not a programmer.
Could you explain me what code do I need?
I appreciate it the bloc sample file.
Yes I agree with you, but I thought we could also have the option of using built in icons for this purpose. The Blocs icons through font awesome etc are actually quite nice.
Yes, but we need a code. Like the “Tweet” button.
It should be distinguished from the icons. Which is only link, and what is the share.
Bird icon = link, Tweet icon = share. P icon link to Pintereset. “Pin it” icon share on Pinterest… This is a standard.
I think we are in agreement 
I wanted a further option added to the interactions section, so that when you click on an icon e.g Twitter, or indeed any image, it provides the opportunity to share without coding.
This is a two different method. Link is a simple thing.
This attachment shows a setup I have for a stack in Rapidweaver aimed at sharing. You simply select the social network you want and go with share mode. It writes all the code automatically. A simplified version could be created for Blocs and probably within the existing interactions section.
It would be nice like this or similar.
@Norm maybe adding a preference section with the option for beginner,intermediate,advanced be useful to the user so they can choose their own before blocs starts up ?
I would go one step further and say that there is no need for Asset Manager and images should just be linked in directly from a “get image” command. In a large site, no matter how they get organized in tabs and such it will get confusing.
2.3 is imminent, I don’t think a hefty amount is gonna make it now concerning new features.
I would agree concerning the asset manager, possibly needing some further thought or advancements.
If you have lots of images it can get confusing. Maybe it’s just me, but also the previews could be bigger to fill their transparent cells, or even have a larger magnified popover with the name as you roll over them or a corner area. I just noticed today also that animated gifs are animated in the asset manager and seem to perhaps have impact on the app - unless it’s just me, could be.
What would be nice is if the application kept all relative assets in an app support folder on the users system and used a getFileType to load the assets instead of being hard coded in the app bundle. I personally don’t need any pictures by default and would prefer to define my own defaults. This type of file system gathered by the app via a public folder would allow users to externally manage - comp assets, favicon, preloaders, patterns, logos, etc., either app wide or defined per project via a referenced project folder and structure. This seems like it would also work well with the missing asset feature.
Lastly it might be nice to allow CSS and JS assets, libraries to be dragged on the app and by doing so automatically reference these assets in the page settings, head, body, create the links, etc.,
Using CDN on export as an option would be nice also for the libraries that Blocs uses, Bootstrap, JQuery, Animate.css, FontAwesome, etc., to lessen server load calls and use instead user cache for these common libraries when available.
Sorry @norm, just dreaming and thinking aloud there a little, just some random thoughts, not sure any are applicable.

The asset manager is the oldest part of Blocs now, it’s refresh is on the cards for 2017.
Good idea about dragging JS files to attach to pages.
I’ve been meaning to add CDN links for ever, actualy thinking of using them by default with the option of using local copies too.
2.3 is finished now, the release candidate will be available today with last few fixes.
