How to Import a Blog to a Facebook Fan Page

I spent way too many hours trying to figure out how to import a blog to a Facebook Fan Page. (Different than a Facebook Profile page.)

I thought I was going crazy. All the tutorials I found included screen shots showing things that didn’t exist when I went to look at the page. Crazy-making, right?

I gave up. A friend assured me it was possible. I tried again. I gave up. 

Then, because I’ve spent fifteen years developing myself as a writer, I nudged myself to persist beyond what I thought was possible.  

And voila! I figured it out. I wasn’t crazy: the route I took was completely different than the other tutorials I’d found.  So, while my work isn’t to make technology easier to navigate, I’d be remiss if I didn’t share this with you.    

1. From your Facebook Fan Page, go to the bottom and click Applications.  
2. Click Ads and Pages, in the middle of the list of Apps.   You come to a page with a graph and info about making ads.  
3. Near top of page, click Pages.   This brings you to a page listing any Pages you have created.  
4. Find the Page you want to import a blog to.  
5. Click Edit Page.  
6. Find notes, about mid-way down.
7. Click Edit.  
8. Next page, near center to the right, is the box to import a blog.
9. Voi-frickin-la.

Spread the word and stop Facebook-induced insanity!

Blog Update & What's Where

My 2008 Design File

I’ve enjoyed plenty of travel this year (two five-week trips in Europe, phew!). I’m happy to store my suitcase and buckle down on my winter projects. I have a backlog (would that be a back-blog?) of posts about my recent trip that I’ll be posting soon.

Stay tuned to the Journey Juju blog for reports on shopping in Europe, the variety of European markets, best places to eat in Venice and the best overall food award…it’s probably not what you think!

And watch for news of my 2010 European creativity excursions. I'm developing the curriculum now!

My posts about how to make writing and creating easier are on the Original Impulse blog. Travel-related posts will be on the Journey Juju blog.

Be sure to subscribe to both blogs for tips and inspiration on how to be most creative at work, home, in the studio and on the road.
