Two Ways To Import Your Blog Into Your Facebook Profile

Posted by on Jun 6, 2008 in Articles, Internet Tools | 8 comments

Please Note: Since Facebook has been updated so much since 2008, this post is now outdated; however, it is nice to see how things used to be back in the day.

Import your blog RSS into your mini-feed.

First go to your Facebook profile & click “import” on your mini-feed widget (as pictured to the left). A box will pop up title “Import Stories into Mini-Feed” with various sites for you to choose from. Choose blog/rss & go from there.

Now, every time you make a new blog post, a summary will show in your mini-feed for your network to see.

If you have an image in the blog post, a small thumbnail of the image will be included as well!

While you’re at it, you might as well take advantage of all the other sites it lets you import as well.

Import your blog into you Notes.

First of all, you’ll need to have the Facebook “Notes” application installed & showing on your profile.

Then, make sure you’re signed into Facebook & click here. At the top left of the page you’ll see 2 links: my notes & notes about me. Click on the “my notes” link.

Then, in the right column under Note Settings (as pictured to the left), click on “import a blog”. Enter your RSS URL & go from there.

Every time you post a new blog, it will show in your notes with the title & first 2 lines of the post. Images will not be included though.

Sadekhm has also suggested the use of the Flog Blog application to quickly and easily integrate an existing blog into your Facebook profile!

    Yea, I know there’s a lot of other ways, I just think these are the easiest since they use pre-installed profile apps! No need of adding more apps. But I’ll add your suggestion!

    I’ve developed blogging application for Facebook:

    It allows you to import posts from external blogs and display them at your profile (both profile box and profile tab are supported).

    I think this application may be useful when you’re not satisfied with Notes.
