It only posts a link to new posts to my wall and doesn’t display my feed in Boxes like the author said it’s supposed to. So I installed WPBook by John Eckman of Open Parenthesis instead.  This plugin mirrors the most recent posts of my blog to Facebook and comments can be left from within FB and they also post to my blog site. This is just what I was looking for! WPBook by default shows the last 5 posts in their entirety and links the 10 most recent posts.  I edited some of the plugin’s .php files to set my list of recent posts in WordPress to the max of 15.  I wish this plugin could show 50+ items like FB’s Notes does but WPBook is much better because users within FB can see my posts in their entirety and comment within FB and it’s like commenting on www.melodieshouse.com.  You can also link to related posts, even if they’re old, and WPBook shows them in FB.  I give WPBook a hearty thumbs up.

However, there’s a couple of things I’d like to see WPBook do in future updates.  1st, I’d like to see it post an update to the home page and wall whenever a new post is added.  2nd, I’d like to see the ability to view blog posts from a tab within my profile.  Mr. Eckman, did you get that?
