I have one-to-one phone calls scheduled with my Stamping Update Newsletters (SUN) members. During this call a member recently asked me how to import her blog feeds to her new Facebook.  I thought that was a great idea.  So here is this week’s how to, compliments of Cynthia.

You want to leverage all the work you have been posting to your blog.  Great idea!  Let’s automatically load all your blog posts to Facebook.  Below, I have tried to do my best to give you as much detail as you need, however, you will need to experiment setting up your feeds.  As each of these options offer a different advantage over the other.  Which one you choose will depend on your circumstances.  We begin with the easiest method but it is also the least flexible.

1)    Using Facebook – This option will feed your blog into your Facebook Notes.

2)    Using HootSuite – I use this application to add content to my twitter and Facebook accounts.  It was convenient for me to keep the RSS feed in the same place.  Plus I like how the content is added as a Facebook Link instead of a Facebook Note.  But not everyone will want to setup HootSuite.  Although I highly recommend it and…it’s free.

3)    Using Networked Blog – Unless you already used Networked Blogs, this is the most complicated by far.  Once you get your blog setup in Networked Blogs, you have a lot more options on sharing your blogs content.  In the long run, this is probably the best bet but set some time aside to do this.

To follow these instructions you will need to understand how RSS feeds work.  For more details on RSS feeds, please see my blog posts: RSS For Beginners and How it Can Work For You and RSS: How to Find Your Blog’s Feed.

Using Facebook Method

Facebook allows you to quickly and easily import an external blog from another website.

1. Step 1: Go to the main Notes application page by finding the “Notes” tab at the top
2. Step 2: Select link on left side: Edit import settings or click here.
3. Step 3: Enter the URL (web address) of your blog into the text box, and check the box underneath that states that you agree to our Terms of Use.
4. Step 4: To complete the process, click on “Save Settings.” Once you do this, your previous posts will appear as notes and any new posts you make will automatically display.

As an example, I import the DBWS promotions into my Facebook Notes.

If you run into any problems visit the Facebook Help page for Importing Notes.

I’ve included the instructions for using HootSuite and NetworkedBlogs in a document that you can download and print.
