Automatically publish blog to Facebook page

Posted on November 18, 2010

This is something you will find very useful when it comes to sharing links to blog & news entries on your website, via your Facebook ‘like’ page.

Sharing blog/ news post links from your website, via Facebook (Automatically!)

Just think; normally, each time you add a new blog post to your website, the usual thing to do would be to login to Facebook and post a link on your ‘Like’ page, so that people are notified of the new entry. There’s no need for that- it can be done automatically and it only takes a couple of minutes to setup.

Simply follow these easy steps to import your blog/ news posts to Facebook via RSS Feed

  1. Login to your Facebook account, then go to your ‘like’ page.
  2. Click on the ‘Notes’ tab. If it’s not there, click on the little + sign to the right of the tabs that are there… choose ‘Notes’ from the drop-down menu, and the tab will be added.
  3. Whilst on the Notes tab, click on the link at the bottom left that says ‘edit import settings’.
  4. Now simply enter the link to the RSS feed from your website, like so:

Add your RSS feed link to Facebook

5. Tick the box agreeing to Facebook’s terms.

6. Click ‘Start importing’. (This may take a minute or so- be patient).

7. You should now see something like this:

Confirm import

Click ‘Confirm import’ and within 5 minutes, your blog entries will be imported to your Facebook notes. Now each time you create a new article on your website, It’ll be published to Facebook automatically (It can sometimes take up to 12hrs to appear, but it works well).
