Posted by admin in Having your blog posts show up on Facebook automatically saves time by keeping you from having to post your blog in two separate places. It’s also good because it brings relevant content to your Facebook in a snap (so long as you’re a regular blogger). Here are instructions for getting your blog to post automatically to your Facebook account.
1. Copy the Public URL for your Blog (See instructions below if you don’t know what it is)
2. Open your Facebook Account.
3. Click on “Settings” located under the Share Button. (Not the Settings on top)
4. Click the Orange Blog/RSS button.
5. Paste the URL in the open field
6. Hit “Import”
7. You will get notification there as to whether your Public URL for your Blog is correct or not.
8. It usually takes a few hours, or even a day to pick it
How to Determine the Public URL for your Blog
A Blog is an RSS feed. In order to read your blog in RSS format, you need the public URL for the feed, which is not always the actual blog URL that you see when you visit the page. (I know, confusing huh.)
Sometimes this is as easy as just plugging in the actual blog URL, and other times you actually have to find the URL for the RSS feed of your blog that looks like this this.
1. First try using your blog’s actual URL. If this doesn’t work, proceed to step 2.
2. Look for the orange RSS Feed icon on the home page of your blog. If this is not visible, go to step 3.
3. As a last resort, go to Feedburner.com.
Feedburner has been purchased by Google, so you will have to login to your Google account if you have one. If you don’t have a Google account, sign up because you’ll be needing it for other web marketing tasks and feeds later.
Once you get into Feedburner, insert the URL of your blog into the field. Click “Next.”
You will get a reading of your RSS Feed and your Atom. We need the RSS Feed URL for inserting into the Facebook settings.
Once you get the RSS Feed URL for your blog copy it and then go back and follow the instructions for adding it to your Facebook Profile.
I cannot believe this will work!
