I'm having issues posting links to our sermons on Facebook. Ideally I'd like to do so automatically (how would I do that?) but I can't even seem to get it working by manually entering the link on Facebook.

Here's the issue: I can see the link to the sermon but not the title. Instead I see the title and subtitle for the sermons page. Ideally I'd like to see the sermon title, a picture of the preacher, and even some text (either from the passage or from the description for the sermon). It would be great if these would post auto-magically.

Here is a link to a recent sermon:

Thanks!

I've got the podcast automatically posting to our church's Facebook page working pretty effectively. Our church's Sermon Browser page is here:
http://www.pathwayschurch.us/podcast/
And our Facebook page is here:
http://www.facebook.com/pathwa…..schurch.us
Scroll down to October 16 to see our latest sermon. (Unfortunately, this is our latest due to unrelated sermon recording difficulties.) The sermon pops into Facebook shortly after posting to Sermon Browser and is playable right from the Facebook page.

The secret is a Facebook application called RSS Graffiti:
http://apps.facebook.com/rssgraffiti/
After you install RSS Graffiti, give it your podcast link as the RSS feed. For your page, this is:
http://pasadena-ep.org/sermons/?podcast

RSS Graffiti should do the rest. It works quite well. In addition to the sermons, we use it to automatically publish blog posts from our webpage as well. Let me know if you have any questions about it.
