Have You Considered Facebook Connect for Your Blog?
| by Sandi Villarreal | ||||
A recent upgrade of our php has enabled us to play around with WordPress plugins for our blog. If you found this post on Twitter, Google, Facebook, or another external site, you might notice the greeting above the text that welcomes you specifically from that site. (Get that plugin here.)
Another great tool we’ve installed is Facebook Connect. Considering the rate at which people are signing up for Facebook, it’s a pretty strong possibility that a large number of your readers are on the social networking site. Facebook Connect gives your readers the option to comment on your blog posts by logging into their Facebook accounts instead of giving you their name and email (something that could be a detractor from commenting).
As an added bonus, commenters have the option to post their comments (and thus your blog post) to their profiles and news feeds, giving your blog more exposure.
Pop-up to Post to News Feed
Check out the Facebook Developers Wiki for information on how to install the plugin and troubleshoot if you have any problems.
(Note: If you moderate your company blog comments, you will first have to approve new commenters. On their second comments, they will have the ability to publish to their news feeds.)
