Adding an RSS feed to your Facebook Page

As a Hubber, I found that I wanted to share my hubs with my friends on Facebook.  But how to do it easily?  I'm a very busy person and did not want the tedious task of remembering to post a separate link to each HUB I write.  Well, I searched high and low through the forums and help text on Facebook and HubPages.  Two hours later and I found one tiny little link someone had posted in a forum that answered all my questions.

If you would like each HUB you write to automatically appear with a short description and link on your Wall in Facebook, click on "My Profile" at the top of HubPages.  Under your photo you will see a little orange button that says "Subscribe to RSS Feed."  Right click on it and select "Copy Shortcut" from the menu.  Then go to:

http://www.facebook.com/editnotes.php?import

Place your cursor in the block on that Facebook page.  Hold the Ctrl button and press the letter "V".  This will paste the shortcut you just copied into the block.  Click import. 

That's it, your done.  Now every time your create and publish a new HUB, your Facebook Wall will automatically be updated.

By the way, this process will work with your blog too.  Just copy the URL of your blog feed instead of the URL for your HubPages feeds and insert it on the Facebook page above.

The only drawback is that Facebook will only allow you to import one feed, so if you write a blog and on HubPages, you will need to choose.

Finally, this is not permanent.  If at some point in the future you no longer want to import that RSS feed to Facebook, go to your Notes page in Facebook.  Toward the right you will see a box titled "Notes Settings".  Click "Edit Import Settings"  On the next page, you will see a button that says "Stop Importing".  Click it and Facebook will stop importing that RSS feed.  You can then leave it empty or insert a new feed to import.

Thanks, Happy Hubber. I, too, spent loads of time trying to find out how to share my hubs on Facebook. I'm going to add my RSS feed right now. Great hub!

I actually was searching on how to turn this feature off because when you click on any links in Facebook using this, you stay in Facebook. I wasn't getting any traffic to my blog. Thanks so much for this info. I've bookmarked in case FB decides to make a change later on.
