  I’m sure at some point it has been suggested, but I’m sure it would be a huge hit, if WordPress added Facebook, to the publicize feature, so post go straight to, our Facebook profile.

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

  You can add the RSS Graffitii app to your Facebook profile. Your posts will automatically post to Facebook each time you publish.

  Since Facebook now registers on Google, there is a huge disadvantage in putting your entire post on Facebook: search engines will see the duplicate content and mark BOTH sites as spam, so your blog loses a huge amount of googlejuice. I always recommend only posting a snippet and a link to Facebook.

  Hi,

  Sorry to jump in here, but I have two related questions:

  1. Is it okay to have my WordPress.com blog listed as a Networked Blog on Facebook? Or will search engines also consider that to be a duplicate post?

  2. My WordPress.com blog is also listed in my profile under the links section. I had put my blog there initially, before I made it a FB networked blog. Should I remove it from links since this is overkill?

  Thanks for any insights.

  PS Please let me know if this is not the appropriate place to ask this question. I’m new to all this :)

  I’m answering the title question so when others find this thread they will know there are at least 5 different methods of posting links and snippets See > http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2010/01/12/importing-wordpress-com-post-snippets-into-a-facebook-fan-page/

  If you want to converse about your experiences with your wordpress.org blog then it’s important that you post to the correct forum, lest you inadvertently mislead others there at wordpress.com as wordpress.org blogs and wordpress.com blogs run on different software. http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  I set up my blog to publicize to Facebook and it worked perfectly, showing up on FB almost immediately. The problem is that each of my blogs has a photo at the top and those are important. But the photo is not sent to FB. Is there a way I can set it to show a photo also?
  Thanks!
