Importing Blog Articles Into Your Facebook Fan Page Wall Using Notes

I’ve really been frustrated with Facebook lately because their business fan pages are so difficult to set up with the various applications. Because they are all built by 3rd parties, they are spotty at best. All I want to do is integrate my blog posts, publish my Flickr photos, and share YouTube videos. Well, I’ve found a way to make integrating your blog posts a lot easier. Sorry, I haven’t had much luck with the Flickr and YouTube integration. 

Yes, there are 2 applications out there that seem to work okay - Simply RSS and Social RSS. Currently I’m using Social RSS on the fan page for my husband’s startup Car Overload. Honestly, the only reason is that I was using Simply RSS for another page I was the administrator of and when I tried to add it to the Car Overload page too everything just broke. I spent hours trying to fix it and finally just gave up. The problem though with these apps is that they don’t publish the blog articles to your wall, a feature that a lot of companies want.

Here’s how you can use the Notes function to publish your blog articles to your Facebook fan page Wall and add it as an additional tab too. 

  1. Go to your Facebook Fan page
  2. Click on “Edit Page”
  3. Scroll down to the “Notes” section, click the pencil and select “Edit”
  4. On the right you’ll see a box at the top that says “Import Notes from an External Blog”
  5. Select this option and paste the URL from your blog feed
  6. You’re all set! Your blog posts will now appear on your Wall
  7. To add a tab at the top of the navigation for the Notes, go back to the Fan page and click on the “+” in the menu and select “Notes” from the drop-down
  8. Now the Notes page will appear as a tab in your page’s top navigation
