    You need to create an application on facebook.

    When you create the app, it creates a tab for that wall page. You add the application in.

    From there you can decide if you want that page to display first to visitors who come to your facebook page.

          This looks pretty strait forward thanks alniches. I've actually got a WSO from Peter Maxwell that does much of the Word Press formatting but feel that I have to do a bit of learning the basics before I can come to grips with it all.

          I'm sure I'll get there in the end

          cheers

    I think firstly you would have to format your WP blog to FB's allowable width that is 520px max.

    Then in FB, create an app as mentioned in a previous reply (you will need to add credit card details or so to get approved sometimes), then get another iframe app to show your FB page. There are quite a few around.

    Then in the iframe editor of that app, insert your iframe codes without any borders or scroll. You have to set your FB fanpage iframe to a given height which should be more than your wordpress blog. This is to give it a more professional clean look without having your visitor scroll up and down.

    But come October, you might need your blogs or any connections to FB to have SSL- FB's new guideline requirements for sites that intend to use FB connect API...there is something called Optauth out there but I am not sure if this would help.

    Then that's about all.

    Hope that helps.

      Hello,

      Actually I think it is easier than creating an app.

      1. You have a RSS feed link for your blog - usually it is pretty standard.
      2. Login to your FB account.
      3. In the Search field type Notes
      4. In the menu on the left click on the link Edit import settings
      5. Put the link to your RSS feed there and press Start importing.

      I think this is it - your blog will be automatically connected to Facebook account. Hope this will help.

      No resizing. It is based on RSS feed, images and links will show up as well.

    If you have a war room membership, I giveaway a WP Theme and Video instructions Here... http://www.warriorforum.com/war-room...-fan-page.html

    It was a 4th of July Theme, but the video Instructions will still work to help you learn how to use a WP blog as a fanpage.
