This is something I've been wanting too.
Hopefully WordPress incorporates it!

Personally... the only reason why im stuck with using the Networked Blogs app in FB is that, so far, its the best way to get your blog noticed among your friends on FB. Plus there's Follower option... with this option people who subscribe / follow your blog get a notice on the notice are (bottom right corner of your screen) whenever you have a new post...

only downside is that... it seems that no one is managing the app now...

@ishin09 I totally agree! I would rather log into FB than WP account! I am really interested in a specific wordpress application, with a dashboard on facebook!

I would like to have this feature too..

@ Gruebler..

Personally i've been using the Networked Blogs app on FB and its kinda great.. but what i really want is better integration with regards to making posts...

Why not have a WP DASHBOARD on FB?
but the only downside i could see is that people would RATHER LOGON TO THEIR FB accounts rather than their WP ACCOUNTS... ahaha

Another workaround:

1. Create a page on Facebook for your Blog.
2. Register your wp.com Blog with the facebook application "networked blogs"
3. Allow "networked blogs" to publish your blog's feed as status updates on the blog's facebook page.
4. All fans of your blog will see the new blog posts as short teasers with pictures and a "more" link to your blog in their facebook timeline.

I saw some questions about getting your blog to post on FB. Here's how you do that:

1. Under Applications, Choose Notes.
2. On the right hand side of the screen, choose “Import a
blog”.
3. Enter your URL (the full web address) of your blog.

Now when you post on your blog, it will also post on Facebook.

Also, using text widgets will do just about anything you need. If you need to use code, you can create your text in a post and then turn on the "code" option. It turns your text into the needed code. Copy and paste where you need it.

For me facebook connect, i.e. enabling fb users to comment with their fb account, isn't a high priority. It's a nice thing to have of course. But I rather prefer comments showing the Gravatar and being authorized the traditional way.

But some kind of social network integration would be great. Something like addtoany, addthis or a similar service. Using a badge somewhere in the sidebar just is less efficient than having this functionality directly below each post.

Concerning facebook integration my current favorite would be "networked blogs" (networkedblogs.com). It's a facebook app with a nice interactive "Followers Badge" (which of course isn't of any use now on wordpress.com as it uses javascript). But it pulls your blogs rss feed and publishes it on you facebook wall.

Adam appears to advocate cutting-edge technology like telephones.

howardho — Sat, 25 Jul 2009 05:53:12 +0000

Why not adam? blogs are about connections and networking so it only stands to reason to collaborate and have them integrated and working together. It'd be really cool and easy instead of always posting oh check my blog out or oh check my facebook

You do not appear to have a WordPress.com blog at all. The site linked to your name is not a WordPress.com blog. We will be unable to help you with that.

That last suggestion, from krapo, is easily done using a text widget and a link to your Fan page.

Facebook provides a script when you click "Add a fanspace to your website" (roughly translated from french) from an artist page, or product page, etc. Wouldn't it be possible to WordPress programmers to include this script in a widget? This would easily secure the whole process of getting this nice plugin on our blogs.

Thanks!

If facebook would use Open ID (open source) then it might have a chance. They however, are currently using their own proprietary client to connect and it is more difficult. I am a little torn personally on this functionality without using Open ID which wp.com already has.

I don't think it's meant to have people add or not to your friend thingy on FB. The badge is another thing but I believe they're talking about something different, especially since you can add the badge already to your blog. I like to keep friends and family out of my FB & blogging realm, I only have a select few online friends for FB since I'm not on there a lot anyways.
