So, I want to make the comment form autofilled with a FB login. Is this possible?
If it is possible, Could I link this FB login to the FB login on my website such that if anyone logs into my website, they log into my 2 wordpress.com blogs as well.

I’m sorry if this is an idiotic question, I’m very new to this.

Not on WordPress.com. Simultaneous logins are not permitted for security reasons, as well as Facebook is not WordPress.com and they require separate logins.

Also, when someone logs into WordPress.com, they have access to all the blogs they are registered with. This has nothing to do with Facebook. They click their list of blogs and all blogs they are registered with appear in the list and they can jump around to each one.

I’m looking to have a publicize thing set up so that when I make a new post, twitter and facebook are updated automatically.

I have this set up on other blogs, but now that WordPress has been upgraded, the option to link with facebook and twitter accounts is no longer in Settings > Sharing (like the guide mentioned above in iphonist1’s comment).

Can anyone help?

WordPress has been upgraded

What are you talking about?

I just have a look on it once again and found “publicize on facebook” there where it mentioned in the link. Are you publicizing this blog or another?

On this page which you linked:

http://en.support.wordpress.com/publicize/#facebook

When I go to Settings > Sharing, I now see different options, which are outlined on this page:

Add Social Share Buttons

Not this blog, on a domain-installed one.

So you are asking question on a wrong forum. Go to http://wordpress.org/support/
and post about it there.

WordPress.com and WordPress.org are completely separate sites that run on different software and instructions that apply to one do not apply to the other.
The blog linked to your username is a free hosted WordPress.com blog and the instructions here http://en.support.wordpress.com/publicize/#facebook and here http://en.support.wordpress.com/sharing/ do apply to it.

You say:

Not this blog, on a domain-installed one.

and iphonist1has directed you to http://wordpress.org/support which the support forum for self hosted WordPress.org installs. On the top right hand corner of this page http://wordpress.org if your have not already done so you can register a username account there and then post to the WordPress.org support forum.

Thanks Timethief,

I run a few wordpress installs and am aware of the difference between the two websites – I came through a search and thought I was at .org, which obviously I am not.

It turns out that publicize isn’t available in this form on .org sites and requires a plugin or two.

I didn’t realise there were many differences between the types of installs..

Cheers

Thanks.

For anyone who is interested, I’m trying out the following plugins to have the same effect:
