Thanks a million! I’m impressed how they manage to hide stuff so well…

I had trouble at first so I’d like to point out (and maybe help someone) that you need to use Facebook _as yourself_ to be able to do this. If you have switched to use facebook as your page, it doesn’t work. For what reason, ask the mysterious facebook gods…

Thanks again.

The first import from RSS feed works fine. All the posts appeared on the Fb page. But the page is not updated with the recent blog posts even after 48 hours. The RSS feed is validated using a feed validator .Could you Please let me know how to get the posts on fan page atleast after 3-4 hours of blog update as claimed by FB.

Thank you! This worked great! I saw it on another fan page and was hoping to add it to mine, but I thought it would end up taking me hours to figure out…thanks again!

I’ve tried importing the RSS feeds of several blogs to several different fan pages and it always says:

“Import Failed
We couldn’t find a feed using the URL you provided.”

I’ve tried using the RSS URL and feedburner. ie:
http://feeds.feedburner.com/PushonlineMarketing

Any ideas?

I think a lot of problems have cropped up since the major redesign to Facebook pages on March 11th. I was fiddling around with this and temporarily removed my blog feed – big mistake! Now Facebook won’t let me re-enter it. Says that it cannot find a proper feed, although I’ve tried URL’s for RSS, Atom, Feedburner, and even the Validator that FB recommends.

I ended up trying the RSS Graffiti app mentioned by Mike on October 4th. Rated as 4 stars. Seems pretty functional so far, so I’d recommend giving it a shot. Here’s the link:

Hello,
I try to get RSS code to my page, but I’m lost at step 4 – I can’t see the icons in notes – see screen picture: http://www.bastleni.eu/upload/soubory/fb-screen-page.jpg

What’s wrong?

Hi,
We followed your steps, and we get the following error when putting: http://www.inhim.wordpress.com/feed.xml in to the edit box:
Import Failed

We couldn’t find a feed using the URL you provided

We validated the above URL with the 2 validation sites you mentioned in comment 94 on April 22, and they both said it is valid.
Any ideas?
Thanks, and have a great week!

Facebook has changed this and now requires you to post 1 blog first before giving the option to “Import.”

I have a similar problem like Camilla Saulsbury.
After importing the blog, the feed posts to my profile on facebook, but not to my fan page.

Help.

Hi,
I’m having a bit of trouble with this tutorial. After clicking ‘edit import settings,’ inserting the url, and clicking ‘start importing,’ I am prompted to create a personal profile. I don’t understand why its asking me to do this, because I want to import a blog into a public profile. Please help!

When I followed your directions, I found I was able to get my blog and Twitter feeds to post of my Facebook page, which was great. But the blogs and Tweets are also appearing on my personal page, which I’d rather it not do. Can you provide more details on how to get this done? Thanks!

Thanks so much for posting this — so much more convenient than using one of the RSS import apps! It would be nice if FB made this a bit easier, y’know?

Excellent info Jean. However I just had a question.

Is there anyway to import an RSS feed onto a Facebook page, so that when the user clicks on it, they are redirected back to a website, instead of a note?

Also, when you import an RSS feed onto a page, does it show up on a Fans news feed?

By: Katie

Katie — Tue, 22 Jun 2010 05:50:05 +0000

Thank you very much. I always have trouble finding things in Facebook but your post is bang on target. Wanted to fetch my site RSS in facebook fan page.

By: Alex

Alex — Tue, 01 Jun 2010 09:48:28 +0000

thanks for the good tutorial! worked first time – just a note if you have more than one fan page per account – make sure you access the notes tab directly from the fan page you want to import to. Else it will import to wrong page (if you have more than one)

Just an FYI, ping.fm has an option to feed into facebook pages. It’s really simple, and while you are there, you can have it feed into over 30 other social networks.

I suggest using Networked Blogs. I have used it to post to my personal page for some time and just added the setting to post to my Facebook Fanpage as well.

I have a problem where I have 1 facebook account, but 2 fan pages for 2 different blogs, I can’t seem to make 1 feed go to each fanpage, as your “notes” only ties to your personal account not to a specific fanpage.

_Networked Blogs_ apps works with my rss feed.

I uploaded a RSS feed to my Fan page – but its been almost over 24 hours and no additional content has been transferred to the page from my blog? Why?

By: Lina

Lina — Tue, 27 Apr 2010 07:59:08 +0000

i found what the problem was!
Facebook changed something when they did some updates and thats whu its not working and a lot of people if not all have this problem. So for now you have two choises… update manually or use an app but i haven’t found anyone that makes your blog feed look good… just text and it doent appear in the page wall… i hope that they will solve this problem

By: Lina

Lina — Fri, 23 Apr 2010 08:37:23 +0000

Thank you Jean!

The feed is valid but facebook fan page will not update it automaticlly.
I can’t find anyone who has had a similar problem and facebook doesn’t respond to my mails. I hope someone here can help me
