Universe's Blog

I found an interesting plugin for this wordpress blog when I was going through my RSS feeds a couple of weeks ago. Simple Facebook Connect allows blog commenters to post using their Facebook accounts for authentication. Not only that, it leaves a link back to their profile as well as showing their avatar (depending on privacy settings). I’ve installed the plugin on this blog, which you can try out by going to a post, and selecting “Connect with Facebook” on the sidebar.

I did note, however, that the FB avatar wasn’t being displayed correctly (alignment was broken) with the current theme, Fluid Blue. Needed to edit “simple-facebook-connect/sfc-comments.php” and replace the two relevant blocks that generates the picture displaying HTML with:

$avatar = "";
