The Best Way to Link Your Blog Posts to Facebook

I keep seeing this all over Facebook and I simply have to publish about this travesty.  The “import notes” function on FB sucks for automatically publishing your new blog posts to your FB profile because:

1. It doesn’t provide a link directly to the post on your blog
2. Videos do not show up

So what should you do instead? I’m so glad you asked because I’ve got an opinion!

The best way to automatically publish your blog posts to your Facebook profile is to use the FB application called Networked Blogs.  This application allows you to pick 3 categories for your blog and then your blog is also listed and searchable on their site under the categories you choose.  How cool is that?

Plus, when people click through the blog post from their newsfeed they are taken directly to the post on your blog.  Woohoo!  This encourages them to leave a comment on your blog, which in the blog-o-sphere is golden.

PLUS!  There is a FB toolbar across the top of the page so they can “like” your blog post on FB directly from your blog.

PLUS PLUS!! The app only publishes a teaser so when people click through to read the “full article” again they are taken directly to your blog.

Have I convinced you to stop importing notes and start using networked blogs?! I hope so.  Here is a link to their site:

Oh, and no I’m not an affiliate or anything like that.  I simply love the tool!  So go now and start using this fabulous app.
