Adding Your Blog Feed to a Facebook Fan Page

Posted by Analisa, Tuesday, January 12th, 2010 at 12:38 pm, under Blogs, Facebook.

When I first searched for ways to feed my blog into my Facebook business/fan page, I was told to use a Twitter application, but this in fact can be avoided. Facebook has a built-in way to import each blog post you publish, so that it appears on your wall. The full posts can then be read within your Facebook page (in the Notes section), or readers can follow a link to the actual post on your blog.

Here are the step-by-step instructions for importing a blog feed:

  1. Prepare: Create the “Notes” tab on your Facebook page. This is where your blog feed will live in it’s entirety (posts will show up on the wall in abbreviated versions).

    2. Notes Tab

  2. Edit: Go to “Edit Page” (link is located directly under your page’s photo) and select “Edit” within the “Notes” section.

    3. Edit Notes

  3. Notes: You will now be shown an editing screen for the Notes tab. You can find an option to “Import a blog feed” on the right hand side:

    4. Import

  4. Finish: You will be shown a screen like this which allows you to enter your blog’s URL directly into Facebook. Click “Start Importing” and your blog will begin to feed into Facebook after you publish each new post.

    5. Start Importing
