Hello,
I installed the Facebook widget on my site, but it only works when you click on categories.
When you click on individual posts or the home page there is only 'coupons on Facebook'.

I really want the widget to work on the individual posts because thats where I send all my
visitors.

Have you got any ideas?
Many thanks.
Barb

Thank you. You're the first person to make clear that wordpress.com blogs do not allow fan boxes. I have been trying in vain to install one but was unsure why I was having a problem.

I have a small workaround for the Facebook Fan Box not working on Wordpress.com. As earlier posters have stated, when the pasting the code, Wordpress automatically truncates the code and insert its own piece of code e.g FB.init(”23028c5017f5a6843a15ba1748895d0b”); What you can do is delete that piece of code. All you'll be left with now is a small link to Facebook. You can change the font size in the next line of code, e.g. font-size:12px;. The link still works, and still says Facebook.

i found that you can use a fan badge on wordpress.com … it'll link to your page but, sadly, doesn't allow for a fan button.
