 * I upgraded via the automatic upgrader from within my WordPress install but it
   will not activate. It’s giving me a “fatal error” warning. Happy to provide any
   more information as you need it. (I’ve dialed down to the old plugin for now.)

 * You likely need to ask your webhost to upgrade PHP. Older versions of PHP do 
   not support error handling. The Facebook PHP library requires it.

 * I’m on Bluehost and it’s using PHP 5.2 so I’m guessing 5.3, eh?
