If you are a wordpress.com blogger looking for a way update your  Facebook fan page automatically whenever you publish a blog entry there are several methods you can use. Here are five of them, and if I have not included an method that you use then  please comment and provide details.

Method 1

Log into Facebook and go to your fan page. Then click on the edit page button below the pic box in the top left corner. Scroll down to the Facebook applications and look for notes and click edit. Then click on the import blog and put in your info. It’s the exact same as doing it for your personal profile, just under the fan page editing area.

Method 2

The Facebook  application RSS Graffiti automatically posts snippets of your WP posts to your wall, and friends have to click the link and go to your blog to view the whole article.

Update:

Thank you for mentioning RSS Graffiti on your list. It’s been just 4 months since its launch and we are aways glad to discover so many people adopting it and mentioning it.

Since I am here allow me to add that RSS Graffiti will embed video and audio in the stories posted on the Facebook stream if any are available in your feeds as media enclosures.

RSS Graffiti is also -possibly- the only application that can write from RSS feeds to the news stream (wall) of Facebook Groups which I think is important for the administrators of the recently upgraded Facebook Groups.

Thanks again for the mention!
We’ll be glad to hear your (and your reader’s) feedback.
