  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi James,

  You can find instructions on publishing your WordPress content to a Facebook page here:

  http://en.support.wordpress.com/publicize/#facebook-profiles-pages

  Follow those steps, but when you reach this dialog select your Page not your personal profile:

  

  LinkedIn currently does not allow us to established a Publicize connection with company pages, only Profiles.

  Best,

  Thanks Alex. It seems like I am only able to publicize to my Facebook profile or my Facebook page, and not both, which is a shame.

  Hi James,

  The way Facebook handles authentication for third-party applications only allows us to connect a personal Facebook account once. Given that, it is not possible to simultaneously connect to both a personal Facebook account and a Facebook page created by that account.

  If you have another user account that is an administrator for the Facebook page, you could create a 2nd Publicize connection to that user account, but select the Page instead.

  You could also explore options like If This Then That as a workaround:

  That won’t offer you as much control per each post like Publicize will, but if you want every post to share everytime, that might work.

  Best,
