Use Facebook’s “Notes” to Post Blog Updates

There are a lot of “How To Install an RSS Reader on Your Facebook Wall” instructional posts out there, but most have become irrelevant since Facebook redesigned their look and feel in late 2010. This post is relevant as of June 2011.

Update 6/6/2012:

This post has been outdated for some time. Now to automatically post clippings and other stuff from the web to your Facebook wall, try using a Tumblr account. There is a setting in the Tumblr admin which allows you to link to Facebook and Twitter accounts, and have your postings to Tumblr also auto-post to your FB Wall or Twitter feed. This of course means you will have to post the stuff you want to show up on your FB Wall to Tumblr first, but that’s not so bad, is it?

This post just shows how to get started on a Facebook “Fan Page.”

After that, go to this page to see how to do the rest of the RSS setup, and start on Step #5.

1.) Go to your Facebook Fan Page, click on “Profile”.

2.) If you don’t have a “Notes” link on the left side of your screen (under the profile picture), click “Edit Page” button.
