Publicise Your Blog on Facebook

Did you know that you can stream your blog feed so that it shows up on your Facebook profile automatically?

This is a great way to share your blog posts on Facebook without any extra effort.

In your Facebook page:

1. Go to the Applications section on the left margin
2. In the list of Applications, click on Notes
3. You will be taken to the Notes page. On the right margin of the Notes page, you will see the option to Import an external Blog - click on that.
4. On the Import a Blog page, insert the URL of your blog.

• If you have a domain name that points to an underlying blog eg “www.mysite.com” that points to “www.mysite.wordpress.com”, you should insert the URL for the underlying blog ie “www.mysite.wordpress.com”

• This only works if you have a “real” blog ie one that has an RSS feed

• If you are not sure what your blog URL is (eg if your blog is part of a larger business website), open another browser window, go to your blog page and copy the address in the URL address bar at the top of the screen.

5. Click Import

It should now import posts from your blog.

For an example, visit my Facebook profile and you should see my imported notes in my mini-feed.
