Facebook on Tuesday rolled out a new plugin that allows users to easily integrate their Facebook accounts with the WordPress.org and WordPress.com VIP platforms.

The new plugin allows users to share their blog content on Facebook with one click and the plugin can be downloaded through Wordress under the name Facebook for WordPress.

The plugin allows both bloggers and administrators of WordPress-based sites to cross-publish content to WordPress and their own Facebook Timelines, it also allows Facebook page administrators to cross post to Facebook Pages they administer.

In a blog post introducing the tool Facebook engineer Matt Kelly wrote:

“The plugin was built by Facebook engineers in collaboration with open source partners, and makes it simple for anyone to make their WordPress site more social – no coding required.”

With WordPress powering more than 16% of the internet’s websites it should not come as a surprise that Facebook would integrate even closer with the platform and WordPress may soon benefit from increased traffic at 901+ million active Facebook users gain better access to WordPress powered posts.

Here is an example of how the new WordPress to Facebook integration will easily occur:
