You may have noticed, or not, that there is a floaty box in the upper right corner of the Web Savvy Mama blog now. This is the status window for the Facebook Connect plugin I’m trying out on this blog. What is Facebook Connect? Its a plugin that you can add to your wordpress blog to allow your readers to login and comment using their Facebook profiles. Not only with they use the same login, but their avatar will be the one from their Facebook profile as well.

The good part is that if you use Facebook as a marketing tool and login as your business, it can be a great way to promote. It also keeps the various logins to a minimum and makes it easier for your readers to post.

The bad part is that, so far, I haven’t found a way to implement a nickname instead of displaying your full name as it does on Facebook. Crossing my fingers that they fix that in a future release.

Brave enough to post from your Facebook? Give it a try and let me know what you think!
