Updated April 2010 by PennyButler.com
1.) Login to Facebook
Head over to http://www.facebook.com
and login.
Since Facebook’s most recent change, “New” fan pages (those that do not contain any existing “Notes”), have to try and ‘hunt down’ the right place to find the import RSS Feed. This document shows you how to find the tricky little bugger and is accurate as of April 2010.
2.) Ads and Pages
Once logged in…
Click on “Ads and Pages”
in your left-menu
(NB: Left-menu in ‘Home’ not ‘Profile’)
3.) Edit Page
It should now give you a list of pages where you are an admin.
Click on "Edit Page" under the Fan page where you wish to import your RSS feed.
4.) Notes
Scroll down to the “Notes” applicationand click on Edit.
5.) Write a Note
Click on the "Write a New Note" button.
NB: If you have written notes or imported a blog in the past, you will already see the option to Import a blog. (Like the image to the right). If this is you, skip to Slide #8But if you have a new Fan Page, continue as you won’t see this option yet.
6.) Notes icon
Click on the little ‘Notes’ icon as per image below:
7.) Import a blog
• You will now see the Import a blog option• Click on Import a Blog
8.) Start Importing
N.B. If you have a self-hosted Wordpress blog, you can also import a specific category of your blog, as I have done in the example above.
• Type in your RSS Feed URL e.g: http://yourdomain.com/feed
• Agree to Facebook’s terms
• Click ‘Start Importing’.
9.) Confirm Import
You should see a preview listing of all your blog posts - and if all looks well, click on
Confirm Import
10.) Finished
• You've now finished setting it up.
Final Result: Notes tab
Visit your Fan Page and go to your ‘Notes’ tab.
The notes tab will now display all your imported posts and automatically import future posts from your blog (or category)
Final Result: Wall tab
• The home page (Wall tab) of your Fan Page will also get a copy of the new notes. Sweet hey! :)
