[Hidden-tech] Crazy Facebook behavior/another permissions issue

[Shel Horowitz, Ethical/Green Marketing Expert]

Thanks for all the help this week. I know I've been asking a lot 
lately. I need to ask about two more technical weirdities.

1) This morning, i wrote a letter to the Gazette that cited my most 
recent blog post. When I attempted to paste the letter from Eudora 
into Facebook, I got


Could Not Post to Timeline
The privacy settings for this attachment prevent you from posting it 
to this Timeline.


At first I thought it was something with my blog, so I tried 
modifying and eventually deleting the link. No go. So then I thought 
maybe it was something about Eudora--yeah, I know, there are only 
five users left on the planet--so I copied the letter into a text 
editor, recopied and pasted to FB. That worked. I was even able to 
paste the full URL into a comment on that post.

But then Dina tried to share something with me that one of her 
friends had posted, from my computer but in a different browser 
(Safari, and I use Chrome--we can't use Firefox with FB because it 
opens a gazillion windows and generates lots of error messages)--and 
she got the same error message.

2. Meanwhile, I have a personal link shortener on shelhorowitz.com, 
and since the blog filename ( 
http://greenandprofitable.com/chemical-weapons-and-propaganda-ap-reporter-is-misguided-cheerleader-for-war-against-syria/ 
) is wicked long, I wanted to shorten it before sending my 
letter--but even though I was on the site over the weekend, which is 
after Hostagator migrated it to a new server, and even though I'm 
able to access e-mail through the server panel, the wp-admin login 
page didn't recognize my PW. I used the shortener built into 
Hootsuite instead, but would have liked to use one at my own domain.
