Hello Facebook, This is Wordpress Calling. Come in Facebook.
I wanted to post up photos from my mid week head shot session with Sean on Wednesday but before I do I’ve been trying to get my Wordpress and Facebook to play nice together. Maybe, just maybe I beat them both into submission. If you’re reading this on Facebook then it has been a success!
You’d think it would be dead simple adding a RSS feed to a Facebook page. Actually it did turn out to be quite easy but I took the long difficult road to success, for no reason other than I was a little lost.
After trying a few RSS reader apps that didn’t work or threw errors, one that, after getting it to work, didn’t do what I wanted and one that might actually have worked after all; I discovered Facebook notes. However even that wasn’t a simple task. If you’re a Facebook regular, then you’ll laugh at my feeble attempts but as a Facebook irregular I found it a little confusing moving from my profile page to my admire and trying not to post the blog to the profile. Fortunately I came upon some simple instructions on insidefacebook.com, buried deep in the comments for the article how to import your blog into facebook. David Patrick, you’re a star!
However You might have noticed I said one of my earlier attempts might have worked. I came back to my profile after adding the note’s feed and there were 2 posts.
Hope the technical issues are not annoying you too much and thank you for becoming a fan of the admire photography page.
I promise some photographs will be added very soon. No really…
End of test post! (fingers crossed)
