Facebook link
Kevin suggested I link my blog into facebook so that he could comment through there. Here’s a wordpress plugin that accomplishes this.
This post should test whether the plugin is working.
Update: When debugging wordpress plugins, it’s very convenient to have a friend who knows the developer personally. Thanks Adam Hupp!
Update: Unfortunately, facebook connect appears to be incompatible with an application/xhtml+xml content type. I need that content type for mathml use (facebook math), so no luck for now. Thanks again to Adam Hupp for tracking this down, and to Kevin Der for asking him.

I’ve (hopefully) fixed the problem in the dev version of the plugin. Could you try grabbing the “development version” from here:

It looks slightly different, but still no button. I’ll poke around a bit, and also leave the plugin on for a while in case you glance at it again. Might just be a css issue.
Thanks for the help!

A few more clues:
1. To check whether it was a css issue, I tried moving the link tag into head using wp_head, since this page seems to say that putting them in body is illegal: http://www.w3schools.com/TAGS/tag_link.asp. This had no noticeable effect.
2. A couple times, seemingly nondeterministically, firefox hung pulling information from facebook. The cpu usage went to 100% (presumably javascript) and I had to kill the browser to get it to stop. I turned off the plugin for now to avoid having this happen again.
