Facebook’s Official WordPress Plugin Simplifies Social Sharing

Looking to integrate Facebook into your WordPress site?  Well, now no third party plugins are required as Facebook officially launched the “Facebook for WordPress plugin.”  Wordpress is the most popular publishing platform on the web to date, powering 16.6% of the web.
