you don’t hold on that include javascript in a readable font size before you cut to small where it is illegible. I’m trying to find it in your page source.

Vimeo? Why not a Facebook video?

Is there an instructions page with all these steps explained in detail? Especially all the urls and scripts to be linked, edited, etc.

Ken, Earlier in the week i heard of Sociable.es that has ‘Facebook Connect Wordpress Plugin 0.9.5′ (http://www.sociable.es/2008/12/13/facebook-connect-wordpress-plugin-095/) the developer is spanish – if you updated to WP2.7 it may or may not work as it could be possible wordpress developers may have changed ‘accesspaths’ inside of the wordpress 2.6 -> 2.7 API for plugins.
NB: seems to be in constant development as was 0.5 earlier in the week so expect often updates

Where my Blogger blog isn’t self hosted I can’t create the xd_receiver.html page required so this doesn’t work for me!

Really helpful video thanks! Are there any others online for doing the other things you mentioned, like publishing to feeds? Watching is much easier than reading.

Anyone know how to do this for Wordpress? I’m running Thesis on it and I have a version of Wordpress where I can edit code, but the video doesn’t seem to help me understand where to add the pieces of code necessary.
Let me know if anyone can help.

i’ve managed to use the sociable fbconnect plugin in wordpress, but instead of the avatar in the posted comment, i keep seeing the damn stupid blue and white gravatar icon.
i tried deactivating the gravatar plugin, but then there was no icon at all…
how i can see the fb avatars, or at least the white-gray icon for anonynmous like some comments here (that is the DEFAULT avatar as per my wp installation default)?
