  I recently started blogging again and my blog didn’t link to my Facebook followers. What do I need to do?

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

  Hi there!

  I’m not 100% sure what you meant by “my blog didn’t link to my Facebook followers.”

  If you’re trying to have your blog posts auto-post to Facebook, that feature is known as Publicize. You can read more about it here:

  http://en.support.wordpress.com/publicize/

  It appears from your Settings > Sharing page:

  https://randomreasoning.wordpress.com/wp-admin/options-general.php?page=sharing

  … that you’ve already linked Facebook up to WordPress.com though, and that the connection is working normally.

  You may want to log in to Facebook and check that your privacy settings are not preventing your site’s posts from showing up. That can be done here:

  https://www.facebook.com/settings?tab=applications

  You’ll want to ensure the WordPress.com app has permissions to “Post on your behalf” and that it’s “Visibility of app and posts” setting is set to “Friends”.

  Let me know if there’s anything else I can help with. :) Thanks!
