These days almost everyone has their own blog. Some people like to post the same thing on their blog and then again on sits like Myspace and Facebook. Using the notes application on Facebook you can have it automatically post your latest blog post as a note using your blog’s RSS feed. It saves you a lot of time.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • a computer
  • an internet connection
  • a Facebook account
  • a RSS feed to use
  1. Step 1

    Using the web browser of your choice go onto Facebook and log into your account.

  2. Step 2

    Click the link on the bottom of the screen that says Applications and then scroll down the list and select Notes.

  3. Step 3

    In the Notes Setting section you will see a link that either says "Import Blog" or "Edit Import Settings", select that link. You are only allowed to import from one RSS feed at a time. Simply "Stop Importing" if you want to change to an RSS feed.

  4. Step 4

    Enter the URL for the RSS feed of your blog in the box. You can really import any RSS feed, it doesn’t have to be a blog. Check the box next to the statement about you actually owning the content you are importing. You are prohibited from importing a RSS feed from a web site that you do not own or have permission to reproduce.

  5. Step 5

    Select the "Start Importing" button. Facebook will import the content of the RSS feed for you to preview. If everything looks correct, then go ahead and select the "Continue" button.

  6. Step 6

    Your RSS feed will now automatically post notes on your Facebook. In my experience, when you post to your feed there is usually a delay before it is posted as a note on your profile.

Tips & Warnings
  • Make sure you're importing a feed that is your own. I you do not own the content you are posting then you're stealing content and violating Facebook's Terms of Use.
  • You can only import one RSS feed to you account.
  • You cannot edit notes that were posted by your RSS feed
