How To Add Facebook Social Plugins To Your WordPress Blog

Facebook Social Plugins

After seeing the latest Social Plugins from Facebook I was testing out a few ways to integrate them on my wordpress blog. As a result of these investigations I would like to share a couple of useful resources to save you the time and effort of hunting this stuff down.

Simple Facebook Connect

This is a great wordpress plugin created by Otto. It basically consists of a Base plugin that configures you blog to interact with Facebook and then has a series of single plugins that you can activate as you need them.

HyperArts

Another really useful resource that I stumbled upon is on HyperArts a blog written by Tim Ware

this is more for coders and people who want to get down and dirty with FBML and hacking up your wordpress theme.

Like Buttons

As you can see if you are reading this post on my blog that I have configured the like button to show up at the top and bottom of every post. This is a great way for people to share your content directly to Facebooks newsfeed.

  3. Hey just stumbled upon your blog from Google after I entered in, “A TO Z WEBSITE CREATION” or something similar (can’t quite remember exactly). In any case, I’m grateful I found it because your subject material is exactly what I’m searching for (writing a university paper) and I hope you don’t mind if I collect some information from here and I will of course credit you as the reference. Thank you very much. If you want to see more about How to build a Website visit 4buildwebsite.blogspot.com.

  4. You really make it seem really easy along with your presentation however I find
    this topic to be really something that I feel I might never understand.
    It sort of feels too complex and very extensive for me.
    I’m looking ahead in your next publish, I’ll attempt to get the grasp of it!
