  Hi there, I installed WordPress on my site….. http://www.edrhonemusic.com

  When I paste a link from one of my pages to someones wall in facebook I get all kinds of varied and unwanted results. I tested this by making a test facebook page and made various wall post to see what I would get.

  Here are the results I got….
  just has a link to the page and title of the page, none of the text I typed into that pages post shows up..
  sometimes it posts the entries text I typed in but only with that text clickable. Sometimes the text on another page is not clickable
  on one page, the link to it shows a few sentences of the text but then it shows some of the actual code lol.
  Another post when the page is pasted into facebook, bypassed all the text and typed in and just says: “this entry was posted on XX,XX,XXXX at XX:XXam and is filed under blah blah blah”

  I compared the entries on the blog side to see if there were different coding used but i don’t anything that is obvious.

  Is there some kind of rule to make these pages link properly? I am totally confused and don’t know the proper terminolgy to search for the correct answer. anyone that can help and point me in the right direction I would really appreciate it. Thanks.
