Unfortunately, Facebook has disabled this process as of September
2011 and it no longer works. We have to post a link to our blogs in the
status or copy and paste as a rich text note.
We apologize for not updating this post earlier, but things change
constantly on the Web, and Facebook is notorious for it’s constant
shifts. I no longer update any social media automatically, but am
posting manually (read why here, Say NO to Auto-Feeds: Your Blog & Facebook, Social Sites). This is time-consuming and may require a virtual assistant for some of you. I recommend SerenityVA.com.
Are your blog posts fed automatically into Facebook?
The other day I was horrified to learn that a dear client was
manually posting his blog articles to Facebook. Yikes! No wonder
blogging seems tiresome and time-consuming.
I took my pencil and rapped him on the knuckles, gave him a virtual
scowl and promised to write a post about how to do this. It had been so
long since I set this up myself, I was a bit rusty on the steps
required.
So, I tok time to write this myself
How to Automatically Link Blog Posts to Facebook
Automatically linking your blog posts to Facebook, Twitter, and
Linkedin can get you some great publicity and traffic but it can be
challenging to figure out how to make it all work. Fortunately you have a
couple of different options for each one.
Facebook
1. Use the networked blogs application. This is my personal favorite. To get started type in networked blogs into the search box and you will pull up the application.
Then you have to click on the ‘my notes‘ page which gives you this screen.\
Then you click on the ‘edit import settings‘ link that appears in blue under the subscribe text.
You can then enter in the RSS feed of your blog into
the box and every time you post a new blog post, it will be auto
imported into the notes on FB and appear as a new FB note.
