<p>If you would like to increase the exposure of your blog WordPress Connect<br />
it the perfect plugin for you. It comes with a unique set of tools through<br />
which you can reach the largest social networking community on the planet<br />
that would engage and then share and discuss your content. It will enable<br />
you to build up a fan base and to connect with a wider and a more relevant<br />
audience. Now your blog readers with a Facebook account can post comments,<br />
create discussions and like your posts and pages.</p>
<p>The plugin integrates Facebook Social plugins with WordPress. It provides<br />
tools to add the Facebook Like Button and Facebook Comments automatically<br />
to every post and page. Of course, the user has a full control over settings<br />
such as width, font, color scheme, etc.</p>
<p>WordPress Connect also provides fully customizable WordPress Widgets for the<br />
following Facebook Social Plugins</p>
<ul>
<li>Activity Widget</li>
<li>Comments Widget</li>
<li>Facepile Widget</li>
<li>Like Box Widget</li>
<li>Like Button Widget</li>
<li>Live Stream Widget</li>
<li>Login Widget</li>
<li>Recommendation Widget</li>
<li>Send Button Widget</li>
</ul>
<p>The widgets can be added to your blog just as easy as any other WordPress<br />
Widget, i.e. through the widgets page (under Appearance on your Dashboard).</p>
<p>Since 2.0, all WordPress Connect widgets are rendered in the XFBML mode (i.e<br />
no iframes) to provide full functionality the iframe versions may lack.</p>
<p>A big addition since 2.0 is a simple yet powerful <a href="http://wp-connect.tomasvorobjov.com/api/" title="WordPress Connect API" rel="nofollow ugc">API</a><br />
for plugin and theme developers who can now specify default settings for WordPress<br />
Connect to reflect the needs of their plugin/theme. The API provides an easy<br />
way to include any widget (such as the Like Button of Comments) anywhere in<br />
the theme, e.g. to add the Like Button to the header or Comments to the<br />
footer.</p>
<p><strong>Requirements</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>PHP 5.2.0 or newer</li>
<li>WordPress 3.0 or newer</li>
</ul>

This plugin integrates the Facebook Social Plugins with Wordpress.
