Publishing Your Blogger Blog Post To FaceBook Fails

During the past weekend, we started seeing a number of reports in Blogger Help Forum: Something Is Broken, from blog owners who participate in FaceBook, and who can't publish their blog posts to their FaceBook Wall. The problem appears to be common to both publishing using the "Share to FaceBook" button in the blog post (within Blogger), as well as the Wall posting wizard (within FaceBook).

We have a problem rollup in Blogger Help Forum: Something Is Broken, where we are collecting details from the blog owners reporting.
  1. What's the URL of your Blogger blog?
  2. What's the URL of your FaceBook Wall?
  3. Were you posting from your blog post (using the "Share to Facebook" button), or directly to your Wall (within FaceBook)?
  4. Is the email address associated with your Blogger account GMail, or non GMail?
  5. Is the email address associated with your FaceBook account GMail, or non GMail?
  6. Is the email address associated with your Blogger account the same as the email address associated with your FaceBook account?
  7. Were you logged in, as the blog owner, to Blogger?
  8. Were you logged in, as the Wall owner, to FaceBook?
  9. What post did you try posting, to FaceBook?
  10. How recently were you able to, successfully, post to FaceBook?
  11. Does your Blogger account use a Blogger profile, a Google profile, or a Google+ profile?
  12. If you were posting to your Wall, did you solve the CAPTCHA successfully?
  13. What browser (name, and version) are you using?
If you are observing this problem, with your Blogger / FaceBook accounts, providing as many details as possible may help Blogger / FaceBook Support staff to focus on your problem, by identifying a pattern.


(Update 2012/01/94): It appears that most people are now able to post to FaceBook. Some people are now reporting a new annoyance
You are attempting to post a link that has been marked as abusive and/or spammy.

(Update 2012/01/01): After having examined the many diagnostic reports provided in the rollup discussion, and having done some testing, I am suspecting that the problem does not have a simple cause, that's solely the responsibility of Blogger. Blogger Support appears to support this conclusion.
