There is a lot of value in cross promoting your blog posts on Facebook. Below is a list of useful Facebook wordpress plugins and applications that integrate your blog with Facebook.

Facebook share button.

Although there are many sharing plugins available for WordPress, nothing beats the Facebook share button for its ease of use. Once you embed the html and javascript it creates a share button which can be customized according to your preference. If  a user clicks on that button, the number of shares is shown. Additionally, it can be configured to show likes, user-comments, shares, etc. for your WordPress blog-posts. If you prefer hacking things yourself, you can also grab the share button directly from Facebook.

Facebook Fan box.

If you are running a Facebook fan page and want to get some extra traction through WordPress blog this is a very handy plug-in. You can add the fan box to your blog-sidebar and choose to display your page updates, no. of fans, their profile pictures etc. We highly recommend positioning this box is an area which is obvious as new fan conversion can dramatically increase overall engagement on your site.

WP Facebook Connect

You can power your wordpress blogs by integrating Facebook Connect and make it easy for the visitors to sign-in through their Facebook account & comment on the blog posts. Your blog visitors do not need to fill their details for writing comments on the blog, in addition they can also publish the blog comments to their Facebook profile feed. Whenever a user writes a comment, they can be easily distinguished through their Facebook profile icon.

Images undoubtedly make up a large percentage of data, reportedly up to 65% of the total bytes that makes up the data on the Web.

In its efforts to make the Web faster, Google has come up with a new file format, known as WebP to further compress the file size of these image files.

What is WebP?

WebP is a method of lossy compression that can be used on photographic images. WebP offers compression that has shown 39.8% more byte-size efficiency than JPEG for the same quality in a large scale study of 900,000 images on the Web. The degree of compression is adjustable so a user can choose the trade-off between file size and image quality.

A WebP file consists of VP8 image data, and a container based on RIFF. Webmasters, web developers and browser developers can use the WebP format to create smaller, better looking images that can help make the web faster.

Why should you use WebP?

By using WebP, you can:

• Provide a faster user experience on your site.
• Reduce your bandwidth and hosting costs.
• Improve the web!

The smaller file sizes would also make the transfer of images much faster, as well as enable storage of more images for a smaller amount of disk space.

Samples of the converted files can be viewed on this page (in a PNG container as browsers do not yet support the WebP file format)
