  I can’t seem to publicize my new post on FB or LI, I’ve disconnected and reconnected, but it still doesn’t work!

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

  Hi!

  It looks like you disconnected and reconnected your Facebook Publicize option a few hours ago. Can we give this one more try with a new post created since you’ve reset the connection? Please let me know if this one fails as well!

  So should I delete the new post I put up last night and repost it?

  Ok–I just deleted it and then reposted it. It worked except on the Facebook page it launches right into the article rather than just giving 1-2 lines . Is there a way to specify I don’t want 2 paragraphs of the post on Facebook?

  The easiest way to do that would be to add a custom message in the box shown here:

  If you input a custom message, Facebook should only display the custom message, not the first few sentences of your post. Can you give that a try?

  That’s what I thought! It repeated everything. I deleted it on Facebook in horror! I’m will try again deleting the blog post and restoring it and post on FB.

  Sounds great! Let me know if that works.
