Simple Instructions on Importing Your Blog into Facebook
January 13, 2009 by Cassandra Rae · View Comments
If you have a cool blog with content that your Facebook friends would like, then import your blog entries into your Facebook profile using notes. Here are the instructions copied & pasted from the Facebook help library:
Facebook allows you to quickly and easily import an external blog from another website.
1. On the Notes page, select the Import a blog link on the right side of the page.
2. 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.
3. To complete the process, click on “Save Settings.” Once you do this, your past posts will be in notes and any new posts you make will automatically display.
I have found that FB instructions tend to be vague and not give you all the information you need. So here are step-by-step instructions for how I did it:
- From my FB home page, I clicked on “notes” in the “Applications” box on the right hand side of the screen. {note: I had to click “more” in order to see “notes”}
- On the right hand sidebar, there is a section titled “Notes Settings” and there is an option to “Import a blog”. Click it.
- Read the text, then enter the RSS feed in the Web URL box {this is NOT your blog URL. It is the RSS or feed URL – click here to learn about RSS}
- Check the box to give FB permission
- Click “Start Importing”
- You will see a preview of what it will look like – check it out and make sure you like it.
- Click “Confirm Import”
- You should see “Your notes have been imported.” on the top of the next page.
