Interfacing Blogger to Your Facebook Account

I know a number of class members have Facebook accounts. And, most of you now have (or soon will have) your own blog. I just ran across a way to have your blog posts automatically appear in your Facebook account. In other words, post once to your blog, and the post will show up on Facebook too.

How to Do It

Click Here to view the video that describes how to do this.

Here's my written explanation, which together with the video, may make this easier to follow...

Step 1: The Feed Address for Your Blog --

This is where your feeds are located. For Blogger, your feed address is:

http://[your blog address]/feeds/posts/default

Example: For my Old West blog (at http://myoldwest.blogspot.com) I would use:

http://myoldwest.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default

To test that you have the right address, type it into your browser and see if your blog posts come up. You'll only see the posts, not the full blog Webpage.

Step 2: Configure Facebook to Read Your Feeds --

Log in to your Facebook account and click on the applications bar at the very bottom of the screen. It looks like this:

... Then Select "Notes"

On the right you'll see Note Settings. It looks like this:

Click the "Import a blog" link.

For Web URL, enter your Feed Address (from Step 1).

Check the "permission" box under the address; then click "Start Importing."

Click "Continue" to verify you want to import from this blog.


You're Done

Now, whenever you make new posts from your blog, they will also appear as Facebook Notes... a Cool App for those with both blogs and Facebook accounts.
