I posted a several links to some blog entries (which I copied and pasted from the address bar) on my Facebook wall, but instead of leading to the posts, they just gives me the Error 404 message. What's going on? I'd really appreciate your help.

Do you want us to guess what the link is or do you want to post it?

I haven't posted these anywhere else, so I dunno if the problem's just with facebook or everywhere. Thanks.

It might be your use of -- in the url. Try converting those to a tinyurl and post it on facebook. Once as the original and once as a tinyurl. See what happens. If it is the url, avoid using special characters in the link. You can edit your url link when you post. Or you can change your permalink to dates.

Take a look at http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/add-to-any/
It will let you or anyone else cross post to fb, twitter, etc and it will automatically shorten the url. You can see it in action on my site.

Posted 1 year ago #That looks interesting! I don't think wordpress.com, which I'm using, supports plug-ins, though. But I'm sure this tip'll be helpful to the .org users who read this question. :)

Thanks so much!

Well not all along.. Since WP 3.0 release :)

Posted 1 year ago #Yeah, but since I've discovered the existence of tinyurls only less than a month ago (I know. Yikes.), this is a pretty big deal. lol
