How can I create a text link with anchor text in a facebook fanpage post?
It works because I have seen many posts containing such links, even in comments.
I have tried this but it does not work:
Anchor Text
Two scenarios:
Posts: Not possible. Can only have very basic HTML formatting: bold, italic, strike, underline.
Notes: Possible. Quite a number of HTML allowed. Access by typing "My Notes" into the search field. Click. Edit your note and publish it as if it was a Post.

I want to have shortened blog posts on the front page only of my tumblr blog with a link to "Read More..."
What would be the best way to do that? Thx.
In the post text editor, type [[MORE]]. This indicates where you want the read more link to appear and works for all post types.
I have a small blog hosted on blogger.com
I don't understand why, when people like or share a blog post on Facebook, the real content is never fetched as a summary.
For example, for this post, the summary is the small "about me" that I placed on the sidebar, while on this other post, the summary is the first comment.
It's weird, what I can do? There is a way, for example a class, to indicate the main content div?
You need to implement the Open Graph tags for Facebook into your blog.
Implement opengraph protocol on Blogger. It marks the post title, description, image, author etc using its markup language. Refer this tutorial on Implement ogp on Blogger
I've put "Like" button to my web site.
In general it works fine, the only problem is when user add some text and publish it in the profile his post contains image. And the image chosen is not something meaningful, it is one of the menu items that doesn't really makes any sense.
Could you please advise how to tip to the facebook the better image? I didn't see any information about that in their documentation (http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like/), probably I've overlooked that?
Thank you.
P.S. Pretty similar question: is there any way to suggest for user text he wants to share (that will appear once user click "Like" button)?
You can specify image by adding Open Graph tags to head section each page containing the "Like" button.
You can specify an image URL in og:image tag, and Facebook will use this image in the user's profile entry.
The same goes with
og:title - this will be the title of the new entry on user's profile.
og:site_name (will be displayed as grey text under title) etc.
See http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like/ and
http://developers.facebook.com/docs/opengraphprotocol/
for detailed description.
You can use the Open Graph tags for both versions of the "like" button - iframe and XFBML.
Once you add the tags to your pages you can use http://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug to check if they are OK.
I need to make a post to my facebook wall from my windows application. The post must have multiple links embeded within the post content. I can do it using Grap API but the problem is that I cannot specify an anchor text for links. The links themselves are very long so it's absolutly necessary for us to have an anchor text. But it seems facebook does not understand anchor text tags.
I know there is a "link" object but it's not an option because it allows only one "link" object per post.
Is there any way to post multiple links with an anchor text within a single post via Graph API?
Thank you
In short, no.
You can use a Link object, in which case you can supply a Message, Title, Description and Caption, but you can't actually hide the link, or display different text on your link - Facebook will always control how your hyperlinks work.
Other messages and Posts are plain text, so you can't use HTML formatting elements either.
It's all done to reduce the potentially hideous display of messages posted to Facebook, and to protect users from disingenuous link texts.
You can use Facebook Notes feature instead. Facebook Notes fully support HTML.
See this. How spotify have done this if formatting html elements are not allowed.
Facebook notes really support HTML. So yo can post links like this:

When posting to the users wall can I include FBML? i.e. "Mick just scored the high score on {GAME}"?
I'm not sure if it's possible or not.
Thanks.
All the details about the allowed content of the various fields in a stream post are available in the documentation.
EDIT
description: Descriptive text about
the story. This field can contain
plain text only and should be no
longer than is necessary for a reader
to understand the story. The
description can contain up to 1,000
characters, but Facebook displays the
first 300 or so characters of text by
default; users can see the remaining
text by clicking a "See More" link
that we append automatically to long
stories, or attachments with more than
one image.
