Post Your FASO blog to Facebook the Right Way
UPDATE: Facebook Killed RSS Imports in November 2011. This entire blog post is now obsolete. FASO implemented a new blog sharing feature that is available to all FASO members. The new feature uses the Facebook API instead of RSS.
Special FASO Tool to Publish Your Blog to Facebook
For FASO customers we've created a special RSS feed for you to post your blog to Facebook, the right way.
Here's how you do it:
1. Login to your FASO account
2. Click the "Facebook Integration" link (in the left hand column)
3. Scroll to the section called "How to Import your FASO blog to Facebook"
4. Copy the link for the special blog feed. (It will look similar to this: http://feeds.faso.com/13722/blog2fb )
5. Login to Facebook
6. Click "Profile" (upper right) to see your profile
7. On the left hand side of your profile, click "Notes" (You might have to click "more" if you don't see it)
8. At the bottom of the left hand column, click "Edit Import Settings" (you may have to click on a note first if you already have some)
9. Post the blog feed url you copied in step for into the box for Web URL
10. Check the checkbox to indicate this feed is yours
11. Click the "Start Importing" button
12. Click the "Confirm"
At this point your blog feed should import to Facebook and you should be able to see the posts (if you have any recent ones) on your profile. Be aware that when you post to your blog (after the initial import), it can take Facebook several hours to notice that you've made a post and add it to your wall. Facebook says that they check every couple of hours. In practice I've seen it happen in as little as 1 hour and I've seen it take as long as 15 hours. So if you are posting something that is very timely, you might want to post it manually by clicking the "Like" button on your blog and forcing an immediate post.

ways! I’m extremely satisfied
with my new website. It’s a great
way to showcase my art, and my online
reputation has definitely improved.
"My art career has really been growing by leaps and bounds since I've been doing more with the website.
So thanks for dragging me into the high tech world kicking and screaming. Now all I need is a secretary"

FOr the "next step" I'm considering adding a Facebook app that when you publish the blog would give you the option to "push" to facebook.....although you could essentially do the same thing with a bit more work with the "Like" button.

I did a test blog post after I got it up and running. The test posted quickly, maybe 5 minutes after I published it. Maybe I just lucked out with the timing of things. Network blogs had a delay of anywhere from an hour to 12 hours. It also seems to break a lot.
It would be really nice to have a way to push the blog posts to FB when you publish them on the blog. Maybe have it as a check box option where all of the other blog information is located (Author, email, related topics, etc). It would be just one less thing we would need to do rather then go like the blog post afterwards.

I had recently imported my blog via Facebook, and will now redo it this way. You are right - it's much better to get people back to our sites where we run the show!
I really appreciate all your hard work making FASO great.

Also, I still don't understand how to do a partial feed.
Thanks for your help

Great article and you included info on what we're granting FB in terms of our images...things i didn't know.
How do we use this technique if we want to start this from now, instead of from earlier posts? (I want to start fresh)
Thanks again!

If you've written notes on your page before, it should appear as a tab on the left side. If not, if you click on "Edit Info" at the top, you should find the notes listed in the Apps section.

Hi Clint, this is great as it will save me a step once i do a blog post. I often forget to post a "like" to facebook, so this way I will not have to remember. Keep up the great work.
via faso.com
This will be so great if I can get it to work.
Clint I brag on how great the websites are to my friends every day. You make it easy to look professional.

Clint, should I ask the support team for help or just be patient?
Thanks again for everything that you do!

I have tried several times. I know the link is correct so I have no idea what the matter is.
perhaps tech support will come up with the answer soon.

I just tried it again and all I get is the following:
"Sorry, something went wrong.
We're working on getting this fixed as soon as we can.
Go Back

Not much to go on there, is there? I figured it was not a problem on your end, as my feed comes up below the "confirm" button, showing all my recent blog posts.
I appreciate what you do for us. I am very pleased with FASO service. Thanks for your help!

I am getting the exact same thing as Poppy. It's strange because the feed comes up with the confirm button as Poppy said and it looks fine. I have a facebook page (with a username) not a profile page maybe that is the problem ?
Thanks for working on this.

I still can't get my blog on to FB. Same as you, no indication as to why.
I have a FB page and a profile page. doesn't seem to make any difference. It did seem to want to download a lot of my blogs; maybe too many?
Maybe we will get an answer soon.

In short, it is still working - it doesn't work as well as I wanted because FAcebook doesn't poll the feed enough.
I have another solution in mind though.......
