Good Facebook plugin with no need for Facebook App?

    Hey folks,

    I was looking for some advice. I have been wanting to connect my personal site to my Facebook profile. I’m not exactly sure what functionality I would like to see, because I have never done this before, but I absolutely want to be able to post something and send it to my Facebook page’s feed. Stuff on top of that is just bonus cool features but not “must haves”.

    Setup:
    1 personal WP site
    2 users (my wife and I)
    2 different Facebook profiles I would like to post to if possible (again, my wife and I)

    What I don’t want to do:
    Set up a Facebook App page – it simply seems completely unnecessary for a personal web site where my wife and I just want to create some visibility for our personal site by having posts there show up on Facebook.

    Cool stuff that would be nice to have:
    Like Button for articles
    Share Button for articles
    Ability for other people to comment on an article with their FB profile

    Basically, I wanted to try out the official Facebook plugin, but it really seems geared to professional web sites rather than personal ones. I don’t want a FB App page just for posts from WP. The overview of the functionality seems impressive, but I really don’t *need* all of that stuff. If there was a way to use the official FB plugin without the need for an App page I would love to give that a try. Otherwise, I am looking for good alternatives.

    Thanks for any advice!

    I use simple facebook connect, which works like the official FB plugin

    Just to clarify in case its needed, the FB app page isn’t really used for anything.

    I use the plugin on each of my sites, to integrate with my personal profile, or with various pages. The app page is unused….

    But, I believe this one:
    http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/social/

    Does not require you to make the apps… and still gives you choices for linking various profiles. I’ve only dabbled with it… so I’m not 100% on the functionality any more

    Thank you very much for the good info! I may end up trying out the official FB one. If that doesn’t quite work the way I was hoping, I will give the other one you mentioned a try.

    Thanks again!
