Version 1.0.5 | By John Tindell | Visit plugin site No settings, creates a button in the post area to post to facefook, then sends you to facebook to login to post, not a very pretty post, and after I posted to facebook it doesn’t appear to send you back to wp admin area, didn’t' like this one very much   Publish To Facebook Publishes posts, pages or both to your Facebook Mini-Feed directly from WordPress. Version 1.0 | By David Goldstein | Visit plugin site Similar to post to facebook, sends you to facebook when you publish your post for you to share, doesn’t send you right back to wp   Simple Facebook Connect - Base Makes it easy for your site to use Facebook Connect, in a wholly modular way.
