The Local Wisdom Blog and Facebook
Our phase 1 integration with Facebook is in its testing phase. To help us test it out, we need your assistance!
After reading the Smashing Magazine’s article How to Integrate Facebook with WordPress, we decided to try this out ourselves. Not only can you read our blog straight from our localwisdom.com URL, you can also access it on Facebook from apps.facebook.com/localwisdomblog. Comments are shared between both locations. If you want, you can set up the blog feed right onto your profile using our blog application.
We also set up a Facebook login using Facebook Connector from Sociable (see image to the right) so that you can log into Facebook straight from our blog to comment as yourself (for now, the log-in is located as the last item on our sidebar).
Now this is where we need your help – we need Facebook users who do not currently have a username on the LW blog to make some comments so that we can fully test these plug-ins. No… I’m not trying to fish for comments here, just simply asking for a favor from some of our Facebook/blog readers so we can see if this thing really does work properly. If you do this, you get your very own Derrick-ism that you can use with no limits, no trademark symbols, given by the man himself (certain restrictions apply to the term itself – sorry folks, but I can’t give away words like Fridaying®, Friday-eye® Laterz®, etc that are already hard-coded into the Derrick-tionary).
If you run into issues with it, just leave a comment here and I’ll attempt to work it out.
