New Plug-in For Facebook users of Wordpress

November 14th, 2008 · 4 Comments · 561 views

Or Wordpress users of Facebook…however you want to roll.

Here’s the plugin page: Status-Press Widget – this is the widget version.

This is the non-widget version.

I’m using the widget version over there on the right.

Basically it rips the status off an RSS feed from Facebook and let’s you display it on your website. Pretty cool, pretty amazing.

I didn’t have any problems installing it and using it. It did take me a while to figure out how to change the text size and margin on the widget. Here’s the simple version – look at the sidebar of Brian’s post on the widget and pay careful attention to the stylized format lines.

Then go here and use all the fun CSS you can imagine to make it look like you want.

Now I can annoy Amy in two places.

    Brian – works great. I got it like I like it.

    As far as the “Is” comment – right now I’ve got there on purpose to annoy my wife…and other readers who are more grammatically correcter than I am.

    So when are you going to start using twitter to update Facebook?

    Hey, if you do use other Social Networks, I am updating the Status Press Widget to include Twitter, Last.FM and Pownce as well as Facebook. I need beta testers to iron out any bugs. Any takers should email me at bdgoad at gmail dot com
