  Hi,

  Is there a way to upload individual posts to facebook? I have about 15 posts on my blog, not keen to upload them all in one dump.

  Thanks,
  Chris

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

  Sure. Use the Share button and post them one by one. Or you can just add them as Links.

  raincoaster has answered your question. Would you like to link your username to your blog at http://portageartist.com/ ? Dashboard -> Users -> Personal Settings -> then scroll down to Account Details. Then scroll down to where it says ‘Website‘ select the URL for your primary wordpress.com blog and then save changes.

  Now every time you sign into the forum we can all click on your username and your blog will be linked to it. And every time you leave a comment on a blog your username can be likewise clicked and your blog can be instantly located.

  Here is some additional information that may be helpful:

  1. You can post a Facebook badge in your sidebar. http://en.support.wordpress.com/facebook-badge/
  2. You can also enable sharing buttons on your posts, pages and index pages.

  thanks for all that info. the facebook share button does not show up when you first land on the site. it appears after you click on a post’s title and scroll down to the end of the post. otherwise, it’s not visible. strange. basically, it looks like their is no share option.

  Did you choose to enable “posts, pages, and index pages”? See here > http://en.support.wordpress.com/sharing/#troubleshooting

  thank you.

  just noticed wordpress uploaded my most recent post to facebook. i don’t want that to happen. i’d like to share posts sometimes, but not automatically.

  another concern: has wordpress been uploading the post each time I edit/update it? i hope not, as that would just get annoying for friends reading their news feeds.

  Your post is pushed to Facebook only on publication. Updating it won’t send it to Facebook again.

  i jumped the gun a bit there. under settings, then sharing, i disconnected from the automatic facebook update, but still have the option to share posts via facebook, if that separate feature is enabled, right?

  i’m still concerned that my post (updated numerous times) may have been uploading to facebook numerous times?
