 * I have configured the app properly and gotten my open graph action approved but
   when I create a new post and publish it, it still doesn’t go to my timeline (
   and I don’t see where any errors are generated).
 * Is there some magic trick to telling wordpress “I want to publish this to my 
   Facebook timeline” or how do I even start troubleshooting?

 * Do you see a Facebook Status on Your Timelime post meta box in your WordPress
   administrative interface’s add new post screen (`wp-admin/post-new.php`)?

 * Negative. The post screen looks exactly the same as before I installed the plugin.

 * Check your WordPress user profile for the site, typically located at `wp-admin/
   profile.php`, for the “Post an article to my Facebook Timeline” checkbox under
   personal options assuming you have granted your Facebook application permission
   to post to your Timeline in the “Facebook Account” section of the same profile
   page.

 * DOH! I see the option you mentioned…. I was looking in the wrong place. That 
   was my problem… Much thanks.

 * I don’t think this is “DOH” at all… I’m seeing the same thing you are. Where 
   exactly should I be looking? Another screenshot perhaps?
