Posting from Facebook

July 18, 2007 aceman 2 comments

Hello! I’m posting this from Facebook to check out what it looks like.

If it’s the same as posting from YouTube, then it will be a bit b0rk3d, but if it works good, then I’ll have no complaints.

One thing I do have a little complaint about while I think about it, this theme on my blog puts too much border around images, I think I’m gonna have to change again soon.

(edit) It seems to work quite well, the only thing is, it puts 2 posts in your profile due to you posting from Facebook and then it counts the post again on here. It’s posted the subject, tags and post properly, I think it just needs to realise that you’ve only made one post and not two.

1000 views and Facebook

Ace added the WordPress application. 4:15pm

When this is posted, according to the WordPress announcement, it will appear in my Facebook profile. It’s still new, so there might be a few bugs or something, but hey, it’s worth trying out! The one little problem with Facebook is that the profile pages are so basic, is anyone really going to be that interested in everything you have in your profile to scroll down and read it all? I’m trying to keep things to a minimum, but my profile is still 2 and a bit scrollbar lengths.

Yesterday saw this blog get over 1000 views, what I can’t quite understand is why the majority of hits go to my R4DS skins page. I know that loads of hits come from people looking for info about the R4DS and I’m glad it’s helpful (which is why I did it), but the last few days have seen a massive influx of views to just that one page. :?

While I’m here, I’d like to moan a little about Google Toolbar. I decided to add it to Firefox to help get rid of the bookmarks toolbar and have a bit more functionality, so I imported all my Firefox bookmarks… or at least I thought I did. It seems that there are certain ‘bookmarks’ like the ‘Link This’ link for putting sites in your blogroll don’t work, so I still have to go through Bookmarks > Bookmarks Toolbar Folder to use those Javascript type links.
