  Your first sentence is so off-putting that I almost chose not to respond. I suggest you do not use such an opening line in the future because the member link under your username indicates this is the first time you have posted here for support.

  If you are trying to manually link to any post on your blog at Facebook then you need Facebook support, not WordPress.COM support.

  If you are trying to use the Publicize app provide by WordPress.COM to auto-post to Facebook then go the relevant support docs and use them please. Please consult Common Reasons Why a Post Failed to Publicize here http://en.support.wordpress.com/publicize/#common-reasons-why-a-post-failed-to-publicize

  Post the snippet and link manually To Facebook to save time first and then proceed as follows.

  1. Try flushing your FB cache but disconnect from FB first http://umairj.com/146/how-to-clear-facebook-shares-cache/

  2. Try the full reconnect procedure again detailed at http://en.support.wordpress.com/publicize/#reconnecting-services

  3. Another way to help Facebook update its cache faster is to enter the link in its debugger here: https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug

  Note: RSS Grafitti http://www.facebook.com/RSS.Graffiti can be used for posting to Facebook walls if you prefer. RSS Graffiti periodically checks the RSS/Atom feeds that you specify and posts any new entries it finds to the Facebook Walls that you specify. You can get any feed written on any wall (Facebook Profiles, Fan Pages, Groups, Events and Application Profile Pages). In fact, multiple feeds to multiple walls. You choose the combination.
