There are a couple things to consider before posting a blog post on Facebook:

  • You can only push blog entries that have been published on your site. Draft entries cannot be pushed.
  • There is a 350 character limit on this push. If you blog entry is larger than that, the first 350 characters will be shown as your Facebook posting. However, a link will automatically included which links DIRECTLY back to your blog entry.
