facebook at school, through my website.

    Hey guys,

    Im trying to find a way to access social networking sites, such as facebook and myspace at school through my blog.

    I have had a bit of experience with WordPress, i am only a trainee webdeveloper however.

    I was wandering, what would be the best way to go about setting up my wordpress site, so that users at my school can individually log onto my site, (NO access to dashboard) so that they can view their facebook profile.

    I understand there are a few plugins and what not, but i am not sure if that would be the most secure. I do not want to make it easy for other people to gain access to their passwords and any jazz like that.

    My thought on this, would be to have a page where people at my school log on, and it takes them to their own profile on my website. Only when they are logged on to their profile, will they be able to view their facebook statuses, eg latest news, notifications, private messages etc etc. If they post a comment on their profile (on my website) It updates their facebook status. – Im not entirely sure on this but i think it can be done via RSS feeds and a Facebook API ??

    Any help with this would be wonderful. Thanks!
    Declan

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

    There is no FTP access to free hosted WordPress.COM blogs and we cannot install individual plugins or any themes into them. Those found on the internet are for WordPress.ORG installs which run on different software.
    http://en.support.wordpress.com/ftp-access/

    If you wish to have complete control over a blog, the ability to upload themes and plugins, and to edit themes and templates then your option is to hire a web host and get a free software install from WordPress.ORG and self host it.

    WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org
