Facebook provides several services called social plugins. These plugins are Comments, Facepile, Like, and Send. Each plugin performs its own unique function in relation to Facebook integration and each has been incorporated into either their own widget or combined into a single widget.
The Comment widget encapsulates the Comment plugin which allows users who are logged into their Facebook, Yahoo, Hotmail, or AOL accounts to post comments on the page. An example of this would be placing a Comment widget at the bottom of a news story to elicit opinions and discussion from readers.
To create a new Comment widget you must first select the parent folder (We recommend adding it to facebook the widgets folder). Then head to the "New" dropdown menu in the upper left and select Widgets>>Facebook. This will create a new Comment widget in the selected parent folder. Select your new Comment widget page and select "edit", you may now configure your new widget.
