This means that your updates are likely to appear faster than waiting around for the Facebook Notes RSS reader to notice your update. It also means that you can make changes to your blog postings <em>after<\/em> initially publishing them.<\/p><\/li>\n<li><p>With Wordbook, your blog postings will have their own space in your Facebook profile, instead of having to compete for space with your other posted Facebook Notes.<\/p><\/li>\n<li><p>Your updates will show up with a nifty WordPress logo next to them instead of the normal \"Notes\" icon :).<\/p><\/li>\n<li><p>Your Facebook Notes' comments will not show up on your WordPress blog. Wordbook links everything back to your blog, so your comments will also stay on your blog (it does mean your readers will have to leave Facebook).<\/p><\/li>\n<\/ul><\/dd>\n<dt>How is this different from the WordPress application?<\/dt>\n<dd><p>The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/apps\/application.php?id=2373049596\">WordPress application<\/a> allows you to post to your <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wordpress.com\/\">wordpress.com<\/a> blog directly from within Facebook. You cannot use the Facebook app with a self-hosted WordPress blog.<\/p>\n\n<p>This Wordbook plugin works in the reverse direction. When you publish a new post or page, the plugin, in conjunction with the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/apps\/application.php?id=3353257731\">Wordbook<\/a> Facebook application, cross-posts your new blog entry to your Facebook account. You cannot use Wordbook with a blog hosted at wordpress.com.<\/p><\/dd>\n<dt>Why aren't my blog posts showing up in Facebook?<\/dt>\n<dd><ul>\n<li><p>Wordbook will not publish password-protected posts.<\/p><\/li>\n<li><p>Any errors Wordbook encounters while communicating with Facebook will be recorded in error logs; the error logs (if any) are viewable in the \"Wordbook\" panel of the \"Options\" WordPress admin page.<\/p><\/li>\n<li><p>To discourage spammy behavior, Wordbook only publishes a given post to Facebook once within a 24-hour period of time. There is currently no user interface for \"resetting\" this clock to enable a re-publish of recently-published posts. Those comfortable with MySQL may manipulate the <code>wordbook_postlogs<\/code> table (<code>TRUNCATE<\/code> the table to enable re-publishing for all posts).<\/p><\/li>\n<li><p>Facebook sometimes just doesn't work (other developers have also reported this problem with their Facebook apps; it's not just Wordbook); there is nothing the Wordbook plugin can do about this.<\/p><\/li>\n<\/ul><\/dd>\n<dt>My WordPress database doesn't use the default 'wp_' table prefix. Will this plugin still work?<\/dt>\n<dd><p>The plugin is aware of database table prefixes.
