I have been playing around recently with the Drupal for Facebook module by Dave Cohen. This is one of my latest favorites and it harnesses the power of drupal with the facebook developer application and allows anyone access to the facebook api on their drupal site.
This is a very tough module to work with. While the Facebook Connect feature works pretty much out of the box I have yet to get it to publish to a facebook stream. The documentation for the module is currently lacking in some areas so as I figure out how to do somethings that are lacking in the documentation I plan on posting them here. This will help me to remember how I got there and hopefully will be a help to any others that are struggling with getting this to work.
Don't misunderstand me, Dave Cohen has done an excellent job with the documentation despite all the time he surely spends coding the Drupal for Facebook Module.
Why is Facebook Connect not on the RAWDesigners site? Only because I am testing it out on some other less frequented and Dev sites to make sure it is correctly configured. Thanks for checking out my blog. Hopefully you have found something to help you.
I finally got DFF to work after creating a module like Cohen noted in his documentation. The problem seemed to be conflicts with some other modules. Now that it is working I shall begin the process of determining the modules that were interfering. The Drupal for Facebook beta 6 offers a much more friendly UI and a noticeable difference in application creation.

There is a common trend amongst blogs to have all comments in blogs marked "nofollow" which means when search engines index sites they do not follow links. This was an attempt to reduce the amount of spam showing up in blogs. These no follow links let the authors of spam know that their spam to try to increase inbound links to their sites would not serve the purpose they were attempting to achieve. RAWDesigners has decided to allow links to sites as long as the comments are relevant to the topic and are not overly spammy. Those who abuse this will be banned.
