I’ve noticed that some people on FaceBook have their blog posts appear as Notes on their page. How do I do this?
Importing your blog posts into FaceBook is really easy .. once you know how. Here’s how to do it:
First of all you’ll need to log into FaceBook. Do this in the normal way, then have a look at the screen youare presented with. If you look on the left hand side of your screen you’ll see a menu list of different Applications you have associated with your account. This starts off as a simple list, but as you add more Applications the list will grow longer. Your application list can be quite long, but one of the options in the menu is called Notes and this is the one you’re after. Click on this to proceed to the next step.
Your Notes page will show you a number of different notes that your contacts might have added to their profile (or nothing if you don’t have many friends). This will include both Notes typed on FaceBook and also posts from their blogs if they are using this technique. Don’t worry about what’s on this page for now, just look on the right hand side of the page and you’ll see a section called Notes Settings. Look for a link that says Import a blog and click this to proceed to the next step. You will then be presented with the following form:
Enter the URL to your blog in the text box. It doesn’t need to be your RSS feed, as FaceBook will figure this out on it’s own. You’ll have to tick the disclaimer underneath the URL and then just click Start Importing.
You’re done! I told you it wasn’t hard!
Thanks! I just did it!
Excellent! Thanks for that tip! I hadn’t even thought about importing my feed to Facebook. Might pick up a few new readers that way.
Had no idea you could do that, Facebook really is becoming the standout social networking tool!

No worries, I just worked it out
Thanks very much-extremly useful information.
I wrote an article about this just yesterday. Looks like you found a different way to do it than I did.
Here’s mine:

wow, thank you so much…I always wanted to know how my friends did this and wasn’t sure how to do it…cheers!
Cool! Thanks to your posts on “Facebook less”and a cool cyber-friend, now I’ve integrated Twitter and my tumblelog (which in turns gets feeds from my other blogs!) into my Facebook. I think I’ve found a way to stay at Facebook without wasting hours! (that is, if I can refrain from clicking and clicking! :-P!!!!)
THANKS!
Gladys
PS: Facebook notifier on my Pageflakes has also helped me a lot!
This has been a god send, I have been looking to do this for ages and now following your information I have finally got it to work.
yipee!!!!
Hi Owen, do you know whether it’s possible to import your blog onto a facebook page rather than facebook profile?
Hi Owen, my question in similar to Caroline’s. Is it possible to import you blog onto a facebook group? Tks,
Thanks, you made this so easy to understand, I would have never figured it out!!
