Facebook announced on Sept.30 that adding the Facebook Connect widget to your blog just got a whole lot easier.
The popularity of Facebook never ceases to amaze and with that it is important to be able to connect it with every aspect of your social self. Email, Instant Messaging, Blog, Mobile etc… Until now… Blog was just too complicated for the masses of Facebook users.
excerpt from Techcrunch
Facebook Connect launched to the public less than a year ago, and already it’s seen an incredible amount of traction. Unfortunately, for those people with little to no coding experience, implementing Facebook Connect has seemed like more trouble that it was worth.
There has never been a more true statement!
I looked into Facebook Connect when it first arrived. I thought this would be an excellent blog post…but when I discovered how in depth it was just to implement the widget, I moved on.
Implementing Facebook Connect with the new Facebook Connect Wizard can be done in three simple steps.
1. Enter the name of your site and its URL.
2. Download and then upload a special file to your site’s main directory.
3. Playground — This is where you will find a list of code snippets you can embed on your site. Login buttons, profile photos, publishing items to News Feeds, and rendering photos of a user’s friends. All the great stuff you need for your blog and Facebook connection!
I almost forgot to mention…Facebook also announced that it has seen fit to make the implementation of Facebook Connect easy on a global front with a translation tool called “Translations for Facebook Connect”
