Blog Content on Facebook

If you are active in the online social networking community, whether for business or personal use, and you have a Blog of your own, then you know how time-consuming it can be to repost the same information over and over again. Fortunately, Facebook solves that problem by allowing you to import Blog content to your Facebook page.

The following are a few easy steps to importing your Blog content to your Facebook page:

1. Before you begin importing, you will need a computer with internet access, your own Blog, and your own Facebook account.

2. Login to your Facebook account and go to your profile page.

3. Located in the bottom bar, you will find the ‘Applications’ page. Look for the ‘Notes’ section. It will be located near the top of your page on the right if you have previously used this section.  If you have not previously used this section, click on the small plus sign at the top of your profile page and select the ‘Notes’ category.

4. Under ‘Notes Settings,’ click on ‘Import a Blog.” A pop up window will appear. Read what is in the window and follow the prompts. The notes application only supports the importing of one RSS feed.

5. Click to agree to the terms and conditions.

6. Enter the main URL or RSS feed for your Blog.

7. Click to agree that you have the right to import the Blog and at the bottom of the preview, click on ‘Confirm Import’

You will now begin importing your external Blog.  If you are having difficulties with images not transferring to your notes or you have formatting problems, check the RSS feed you are importing to find out if your Blog is being displayed properly.

If you want to set the privacy of your Blog on Facebook, you first have to go to the ‘My Privacy’ page. You will then go to the section, ‘Friends, Notes, and Facebook Development Platform.’ In the Notes section, use the drop-down box to go to’ My Notes’ page and then ‘Edit Notes Privacy.’ Choose your preferred level of privacy. You will have the ability to choose who can comment and subscribe to your Blog using Facebook. When finished, save your changes.

Facebook will automatically add your new Blog posts as notes on your Facebook Wall and in your subscribers’ News Feeds. Importing Blog content to your Facebook page will make your social networking experience much easier, quicker, and bring more traffic to your Blog.
