How to Add your RSS Feed to Your Facebook Page
By Happy Hubber
UPDATE 12-3-11 RSS Feature Removed
I am sorry to announce that Facebook has removed the RSS Feed feature. I recommend you contact Facebook to complain and request that it be restored.
Here is the Facebook Help page that confirms the removal of this feature.
http://www.facebook.com/help/?page=220304164665476
I am leaving the rest of this article in tact and will periodically check with Facebook to see if the feature is restored.
In the meantime you will need to manually post links to your blog posts or Hubpages articles on your Facebook wall or notes section. Alternately, Hubpages does have a Share feature that makes it easy to share your articles on your Facebook account however it is still a manual process. Many blogging platforms also have easy to add Facebook share features.

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
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.
Subdomain Migration and your Facebook Feed
August 2011, Hubpages and decided to move all hubs to a user based subdomain. If you currently have your RSS Feed imported by Facebook you should do your migration manually rather than waiting for the automated migration planned by Hubpages. If you take no action, when your subdomain is migrated Facebook will re-import your entire feed. This import will flood your Facebook wall with a separate post for each Hub you have. In addition, it will duplicate posts on your Notes page with links to the old and new URLS.
At minimum, I recommend you manually transfer your Hubs to the subdomain late at night. This will have your posts flood Facebook overnight and hopefully make a minimal impact on your wall and the news feeds of your friends. After the migration, you should probably consider cleaning up your notes page and removing the links to old URLS.
For a more involved solution, you can remove your RSS feed from Facebook by clicking on the link above. Then transfer your to your subdomain in Hubpages. Then come back here and re-add your feed to Facebook. I think this will avoid Facebook from re-importing the entire feed. It should just pick up the feed from that point forward. (If anyone tries this, please comment below with your results.) This solution will leave your old notes with links to the old URLS. Since all URLS will be automatically redirected, this is ok.

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.
Great Tip! Thank you
Nice way to share content. thanks!
That is helpful i will check it out later.
thanx
TAKE Care

Great tips and you can also connect RSS application to your page profile and share RSS feeds with your fans. Great website
Thanks for the informative hub. Always learning something new.
There's an application that allows you to put a feed anywhere in your profile :) Just search apps for RSS
This is really good. I have never used the notes before on Facebook and have now imported my wordpress blog !
Fantastic tip. Thanks :o)
Now this was really useful! Great information. - Carol

Antoher great article

Very good advice thankyou, i will look into this, great Hub.
very helpful to help us promote Ontario Bruce County. Thanks so much!
Thank you very much for this information!
Great hub!
I tried this hoping everyone would be able to link to my hubs from doing it. All it does is post it as a note. People can't link to my hubpages with it. So what's the point of this?
It obviously tells them a hub has been created, but most people are lazy, if they can't link from it directly they will just move on to the next thing on their list.
Any suggestions? did I do something wrong?
I have the same problem as the last commentator in that when a user clicks on the blog entry which has been posted on my wall they go to my facebook note page. I would like them when they click on the link to go straight to my website. I know that once you are on the notes page there is a link to the original item, but nobody (well, very few people) is going to click on this after they've read the article.
Any ideas how to fix this. Perhaps there is another facebook app which would work better. If anyone has any ideas I'd be very grateful!
What a unique and extremely useful set of information. I can see how automating your hubs to show up on Facebok would be a benefit and time saver.
Great post. Thanks for sharing!
Wow, been looking for this info all over. I needed step by step instructions and you've accomplished the mission. KUDOS!
It sounds so easy, but I am having a malfunction... Everytime I paste in my shortcut facebook says it is a URL that is not recognized.
Figured out how to do it when I logged out of Hubpages. Thanks for letting me know a new way to share my hubs!
Worked perfectly! Thanks for the tip. You saved everyone else the two hours to find it, so we appreciate it.
Going to try it and bookmarked this hub. Great! Especially when I forget to connect to facebook BEFORE I publish. Didn't know how to after, so I found YOU!
Thanks
Thanks!!...Now I can add my blog to my facebook page
Got it! I think. Looks like it works. Thank you, thank you thank you! Great hub n book marked it!
Thanks for that very useful for me.
Oh, that's awesome! I will have to try this :)
Good hub, thanks for the info.
Thank you-intelligent person!
Thanks for the info. I have done it after I have read this hub.
Very informative. Thanks!
This will help me...thanks for doing all of the work so I don't have to!(not that I could)
hi ppl wats up im kinda new at facebook so i hopping yol cud show me the ropes hre in facebook
How cool was that! Thank YOU!
Thanks for the tutorial it really helps!
There's websites that will allow you to condense multiple RSS feeds into one. I used one for a Local News twitter I once ran. I wish I could remember it...there's many out there if you just search. Then you can have your blog, your hubpages, and whatever else you want (twitter maybe).
Very useful info ... thanks for sharing.
Cool.. Thanks!!
Great tip! Thanks
Thank you for this excellent information. Rated up! I am a fan.
Posts to the Notes tab, not the Wall, I believe. Is there a way for notes to automatically publish to the Wall?
Yes this technique posts to the notes tab. I believe that when a new posts appears on your notes it also appears on your wall, but I could be mistaken, it's been a long time since I wrote this article. Hub Pages also has the Twitter and Facebook buttons at the top of every Hub pages and your own edit Hub page that also allows you to share your Hubs, but you'll have to remember to do it for each and every Hub you post where as my technique above is automatic.
Hi
Does this work for you guys? I am able to import my feed from my blog to my facebook fan site wall manually but it never updates. Have same problem on multiple fan sites...
Btw the notes that are created will indeed be posted on your wall if you choose to in the settings of notes.
This is great thanks for sharing. @Niklas right now when I try to add it facebook says they are encountering an error on their side so something may be up at the moment.
Nice Hub...
when I try to add it facebook says they are encountering an error on their side so something may be up at the moment.
SAME ERROR from last 1 week. Don't know whats wrong with FB. Any idea?
Can you give me more details about the error? Copy and paste the text?
The solution above has been outdated.
I'm using this to solve my RSS
I just read your article, or least tried to. It was very hard to follow. Fortunately I'ved used Feedburner so I was already familiar with it. I would not go anywhere near calling my method above "outdated". You have offered a legitimate alternative that to a more advanced user might offer a few extra features, but it is far less straightforward and too complex for some people to bother with.
Tryed this 3 times, facebook says they could not find feed??? any idea's what I'm doing wrong?
Jeremey, it looks like Facebook changed the URL slightly, but did not take down the page at the old URL. I've updated the link above. I've tried adding the RSS feed in my Facebook using the old link and got your error, and the new link and it worked fine. Please try again and let me know if it worked for you too.
Who knew? Better remember not to post anything about your fb friends!
Thank you this is very use Full hub... !!!
So helpful! Thank you so much!!
Very well explained ! :) Am fairly new here and will definitely use this.....thanks for the tip !
Thanks.. It worked. Very well explained, start writing an e-book "Hubbing for idiots". I'll be the first one to reserve.
Thanks, this hub was useful. I followed your instruction and I linked to face book.
Sweet! Going to take care of this right now!!
Thank you happy hubber!
Extremely useful information thanks, hub up and bookmarked...
Have you ever experienced a delay from facebook's side on feed updating?
Very useful hub... thanks a lot and i also find some intersting instructions @ http://www.TopFacebookVideos.com
@Dfactory
To be honest I've never paid much attention to how quickly it posts to Facebook. However, a lot of RSS readers pull the feed on a set timeframe. Facebook might update every hour? I don't really know, but it's an idea.
Thanks this is very helpful for our new website http://infotechgarage.com, nice job posting this article
Thanks for this information. I personally, like facebook.
Good idea. I plan to make this.
Amazing and easy idea. Thanks!
very good thought
Some of my blog posts are taking days to feed to Facebook. This evening my posts from the past three days all appeared at the same time on my wall. Very frustrating.
Thanks for this post, its really a big help for adding rss to facebook
Great hub. Thanks!
Thanks for the tip. It got me thinking and searching and I decided to go with networkedblogs.com application for facebook to share my blog rss feed to my facebook wall. (not a shameless plug, just starting to try it out -right- now) It has some other nice options too, like sharing your blog posts directly to twitter as well. Cheers.
@Zuggernaut, thanks for sharing. After you've used it for a few weeks, please stop back and share your opinion.
Hi,
Trying to add RSS feed via the Notes page, and it won't save. Once in a great while it saves, then only published 1 time. Then disconnects. Strange....
Thanks for sharing. I find your hub so useful.
Facebook is the most popular online social media right now. So to make good use of Facebook is the key to e-commerce business, especially Group-buying websites.
Great hub. I am now linking to your hub from my own hub about RSS Feeds.
I used your directions to set up the connection, then changed my mind and couldn't un-connect! The "settings" link was nowhere to be found on my notes page or anywhere else... I hate how FB changes things so often you can't find where they've put the links!
@~Christina - Go back to the same link above. Click the button that says "Stop Importing"
really helpful information
Useful post about Feed RSS to Facebook.
Thank you so much! I just added it to my facebook page!
Nicely done Happy Hubber!Isn't it amazing that after two years you continue to drive traffic from this topic. Like all the other comments I commend you on a great and useful article!

I am sorry to announce that Facebook has removed the RSS Feed feature. I recommend you contact Facebook to complain and request that it be restored.
@Happy Hubber, you're right...
Here below the answer for importing blog to FB fan page:
Why can I no longer import posts from my website to my Page's notes?
We want you to connect with your fans in the most effective ways possible. That's why as of September 30th you'll no longer be able to automatically import posts from your website to your Page notes. The best way to get people to interact with your content is to give them insight into the links you share on your Wall by adding personal comments and responding to feedback from fans.
We're focused on creating even better tools for Pages. Look for announcements soon.
Hi Happy Hubber...
Yes, it's no longer works now to add RSS feed feature. Facebook has disabled this thing for some reasons I guess, Thanks for this info anyway!
thank you written well
Thank you for the links provided
Nice and interesting ..This is really great
