Embedding Entire Facebook Posts on Blog. Why?

I am experimenting with posting a Facebook post that included a video on my website blog. I had taken a photograph of an allium blossom that I’d paired with a rainbow carrot (they belong together, I think) and then did a wet photo transfer that wasn’t the greatest transfer ever in the history of transfers but I did rescue it with some encaustic paint, oil sticks and Photoshop.

I have tried three times to post it and three times it appeared in my post but when I checked on it a half hour later, only the text remained, no video. So, either there is a glich in their system or I’m not doing it correctly. I checked to see if the video was public, it is. I used “text” when I was adding the code. Although, it appears initially, it does not come up when I clink on the link.

So, I’ll just have to say why I was thinking it was a good idea.

#1- I wanted to see what it looked like. (I now know it is fleeting)

If you could see it, you could:

#2 You can “like” the page right from this blog post if you want to as long as you embed “post” and not just “video”.

But, I do like the “video” appearance if it showed up better.

You can “share” it and “like” the video but you can’t “like” the page from just the video embed.

I don’t know whether I’ll do this again. O, yes, I do. I won’t until they fix it or fix me. If you end up
“seeing” the post, you’ll know one or the other happened!

But, hypothetically, it’s interesting all the different ways you can use social media channels.

Now, here’s just the video embed. Fingers crossed. It didn’t work the last couple of times I tried to post it.
