How to get your blog posts onto Facebook

by Heather Floyd November 11, 2008 00:06

So, I just figured out how to get the new version of Facebook to “import” my blog posts. The key will be to see if it will automatically update when I post a new one.
UPDATE: 11/25/2008: I have been watching this, and though there might be a slight delay, the posts do automatically show up on my Facebook “Wall” – with a nice little excerpt and a link to the whole post.

In case you want to know how to accomplish this with your own blog and your Facebook profile, here are the steps:

 

  1. You need to know the RSS Feed URL for your blog. If you don’t know this, go to your blog and look for an RSS icon:

    The link associated with this would be your RSS feed URL.
  2. Log into your FaceBook profile.
  3. On your main profile page, click on the “Settings” link above your “Wall”:

  4. Click on “other services”:

  5. Click on “Blog/RSS”:

  6. Put your RSS Feed URL in the box and click “Import”:

  7. Click on the “Wall” tab to see the results:

  8. You should see a list of your imported posts:

Who Is Arachne's Sister?

I consider myself a spiritual sister to Arachne, of ancient greek origin, who was a priestess of the Goddess Athene and  an exceptional weaver. Though I have an interest in the fabric arts, these days most of my weaving happens online - in the form of website development and online marketing, and in building connections and relationships.

My real name is Heather Floyd and for over a decade I have been involved in web and software design and development. Now I help solopreneurs/independent professionals and micro-businesses who are overwhelmed with website options and costs to have a website that gets traffic and generates business with less aggravation and expense.

I also have interests in environmentalism & sustainability issues, personal development, and productivty.
