Adding your blog to Facebook

Clearly, this could NOT be really easy or why else would companies charge!

In my last blog I discussed setting up a business facebook page. Now I would like to also add that you could set up a group and not a page...if that suits. I will discuss how to do that later.

I think most people will not even notice the difference.

The main advantage of a page is that you can add a blog...which as of the posted date of this blog; you cannot do on a group.

I suggest that for a group you create a blog page and have that running at the same time, whilst manually (I know, sounds rubbish), updating your discussion board on your group with your blog.

Group or Page company profile...either way, you need a page if you want facebook to show your blog automatically.

Assuming you have created a blog (i use eblogger), then follow these steps:

1) Create a page using the text icon in the bottom left corner. If this is not visible (it does seem to disappear) go to http://www.facebook.com/pages/create.php

If this link fails then type 'facebook business page' into google.

You will be asked to complete a series of forms to get your business page up and running.

2) Next click on the tab to view/add notes

Now this may be a bit of a hash way of doing it...but it works.

In the top right hand corner there is a button called 'my page edit' click this.

Scroll down to 'NOTES'

Click 'EDIT'

On the right hand side you will see import blog.

Click and paste your blog URL here.

That's it - all done
