  Why is my blog not allowing me to set up a sharing connection with facebook? I have followed all the steps from your support page, but not getting the results (steps) needed to finish connection.

  It takes me straight to my facebook page in one step. No place for me to copy url????

  Please help… Thank you!

  Provided you read and follow the guide for Publicize you can accomplish this. See here please > http://en.support.wordpress.com/publicize/

  Yes…. exactly how I followed the steps. Settings, sharing, publicize (add new facebook connection), WordPress message appeared asking me to authorize the connection between my WordPress.com blog and my Facebook account, providing access to public profile and friend list (clicked ok)….

  Now, instead of taking me to the next step….

  (Finally, you will be prompted to allow WordPress.com to manage your pages. Click “Okay” for this dialog as well.)

  It opens my business page in facebook.

  Any further help would be appreciated :)

  Does this help?

  Connecting to pages
  You will need to use a Facebook account that has a Profile with administrative rights to the Page. A Page-only account can not be used with Publicize. See the Facebook Page-only Accounts section at the bottom of this page for complete steps on how to check for this and how to add a Profile to your Page.
