Show your blog’s RSS Feed in Facebook profile/ fans page

Yesterday, I was chatting with a friend of mine in Facebook. A question arose from him “Is there any way to connect RSS feed to our Facebook profile?”. Yes, sure we can. By using a Facebook app called “Social RSS”, it is possible to show your blog’s feed in your Facebook Profile/ Fans page.

First, log into Facebook. Go to “Social RSS” application page. There, click on the “Go to application” button below the application picture. Click on Allow button, if a page asking for you permission to allow the application appears.

Under the “Feed Settings” tab, enter blog’s title, feed URL as shown in image below. After done click on the “Update” button.

Feed URL: http://yourblogname.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default

Now click on the “Display Options” tab and set how your feed look like. For example, my settings look like this.

Items: 5
Description: No
Date : No

But, you can adjust the settings as you wish. But, don’t forget to click “Update” button. Now, go to “Application Settings” option under “Settings” menu. Scroll down until you see Social RSS application. Click on “Edit Settings” option near Social RSS application. An “Edit Social RSS Settings” pop-up window will appear.
