FB tip: How to auto-post your blog entries to Facebook


Like all things internet/computer-related, it's always so much more confusing than it needs to be.  You can see that others have their blog entries posted on your wall, yet trying to figure out the trick is an exercise in frustration. 

Here's the trick, wrapped in a bow.  Just for you. 

  1. Start a blog.  Why?  Because it's the cool thing to do, of course.  
  2. On your FB page, go to the upper right-hand corner and click on the Settings tab
  3. Click on Applications Settings in the drop-down menu
  4. Click on Notes
  5. Go to the rectangular box on the right side of the page that says Notes Settings
  6. Click on Import an External Blog
  7. Enter the address of your blog and Voila!  FB will check every couple hours and import the first couple lines of your entry like a status update.  It will also allow your readers to click on a link to go to your website and read the entire blog entry.  
You're welcome.
