    Actually, I found a better solution, which is setting the post attribute to the content in the plugin, that gives me something not unlike a typical status message:

    http://i54.tinypic.com/e8tyiw.png

    A hack, but effective.

    Thanks for your help. What I ended up doing is replace the following bit of code in the plugin:

    $matches_ct[]=get_post_meta($post->ID, ‘image’, TRUE);
    $matches_ct[]=get_post_meta($post->ID, ‘thumb’, TRUE);
    $matches_ct[]=get_post_meta($post->ID, ‘Thumbnail’, TRUE);

    with

    $matches_ct[]=’blankimageurl’;

    so I wouldn’t have to deal with meta tags or featured images and it did the trick. Now I essentially have what I wanted, except the text is gray and not black like a status update, but I think I can live with that.

    Ahh, I see. To get around that, couldn’t I make a 1×1 px transparent .png and in the plugin set the picture for the link as static url for that image? If so, where would I set input the url in the plugin? Thanks again for your feedback on this.

    Is there any way I can get rid of the left-border that the plugin gives the excerpt:

    Another plugin I’ve used in the past would post the link to my wall without putting the border to the left of the excerpt:

    http://i51.tinypic.com/kb93is.jpg

    Seems like there would be a class or chunk of code I could modify in the plugin to achieve this. I ask this because it gets me close to what I described in my previous post.

    Thanks for your response. I’ve been looking for some way of posting small status updates from wordpress to facebook (as statuses) and having comments pulled from facebook into the wordpress database automatically (entering them in by hand is incredibly tedious) – that way I have a record of my statuses and comments in wordpress. I’m starting to think it can’t be done.
