Donate
While I don't maintain stripShow for a living, I wouldn't say no to a little donation, if you think the plugin is worth it...

When I share a StripShow comic on Facebook, it doesn't pull in the comic as a thumbnail into the post. That could really be a great benefit, if it's possible to change, because people can then see something more than a link.

That's definitely on the to-do list. I have been trying to figure out how the hell to make it happen, and picking apart the code used to share to Facebook to make it happen.
What plugin are you using for sharing? What I need to do might end up being plugin-specific.

Oh, that's great. I either use the Facebook "Add a Note" function, or their bookmarklet. Sounds like you're already exploring it, but I dug around a little and found this in their developer's documentation:
FB.Connect.streamPublish

and

Well, I see what you're talking about. I see that you can add an RSS feed to your Notes application, and that does indeed bring in all your stripShow comics, complete with images! Yay!
But the images don't appear when the notes are viewed on your Wall. Boooo.
I've been exploring ways around this. One idea is to hook into an existing application like WordBook… I see that with one extra line of code hacked into WordBook, my development version of stripShow can now successfully post comics to Facebook. It's interesting, this looks like a Note but goes through the WordBook application… So it doesn't show anything but a tiny thumbnail on the Facebook site. All links go back to your blog. So that's OK, I guess. But those tiny little thumbs probably aren't any good. And I haven't been able to get it to work consistently.
Maybe a stripShow app would need to be created, to receive posts and display them in a useful manner on Facebook.

Oh yeah, here's what a comic looks like on Facebook if posted via WordBook:

Oh I agree about this being a big one, it took me forever to figure out how to get my strips on Facebook. Right now I'm using Network Blogs to load the RSS to my Fan Page and RSS Graffiti to load on my personal Facebook account. I like the auto posting feature of the RSS, but getting the comic thumb to load for people who want to share would be super great.
