How To Add Your Blog To Your Facebook Page

More technology stuffy Mommy Bloggers.
You can add your blog to your Facebook Fan Pages to streamline things for your followers.
In order to do this your blog has to have an RSS feed. Most blogging platforms do, but to be sure you can usually look in your browser all the way to the right and it will say RSS.
There are several applications that can be used, but thus far I have found Social RSS to be the easiest to access and maintain.

Here are the steps to follow
1) While signed in to FB begin typing Social RSS in your search box at the top of your page and click on it to select.
2) Once there, click on the "add to my page" link under the picture. Next to your page click the "add to page" button.
3) Go to your Fan Page
4)Under your profile picture click "edit page."
5) Scroll down to Social RSS and click edit.
6) You will be taken to the Social RSS page. The first thing you need to do is hit the authorize Social RSS button. When the pop-up window appears hit "allow."
7) About half way down the page on the right you will see something that says quick select and it should have your Page in a drop down menu. If you have more then one page, they will all appear. Make sure the one you are looking to add the blog to is selected.
8)Under feed settings you need to add the exact URL where it says URL ( be sure you add the URL to your RSS feed not just your website URL) You can leave alternative link blank.
9)Under Tab Sections, add the title of your blog to the title box, a short description in the introduction box, a website link to your blog, and the number of posts you would like to show (max 10) at one time. You can customize the rest to your liking.
10) Click Update at the bottom and when the box comes up about a paid upgrade hit close.
11) To navigate back to your page look directly under the word Facebook at the top to find your page name and click it.
12) To make the tab visible click the + next to your tabs (wall, photo, etc) and highlight the RSS/Blog item.
13) Lastly, drag and drop this tab next to your info tab

Again pat yourself on the back for making your FB page even cooler!
