  My blog is not showing up on Facebook. It used to. Today I added a blog post. Wasn’t showing on Facebook. So I discovered I needed to renew my link to Facebook. Did that, but without success.

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

  Hi there!

  Did you recently change your password at Facebook? It looks like the connection between WordPress.com and Facebook was interrupted. Could you try resetting the connection following the instructions here?

  That will walk you through how to remove the connection from Facebook and then re-add it.

  Let me know if you run into any trouble!

  ok. I’ve followed all the instructions. No problem. But the blog I wrote earlier today still isn’t on FaceBook. Is that because I wrote and published the blog _before_ I reconnected to FB?

  Yep – the connection to Facebook needs to be established before the blog post is published. The only thing that triggers a blog post to get sent to Facebook is the initial publish. Updating a blog post or saving it as a draft and republishing it will not re-trigger the “send to Facebook” action.

  This should work for your next blog post though!

  Thanks. I re-posted my blog entry, and it immediately appeared on FaceBook.
