WordPress to Facebook Saga

Remember me discussing my ongoing saga with getting my WordPress blog posts to my Facebook fanpage? After trying several plugins, with pretty much nil result, I finally found something that works. At first I found a plugin that showed my FB status, and had a nice feed to update my status there from my blog. I even found a plugin that had a button to post each blog there, but it went to my personal page. There were a couple that purported to do what I wanted, but didn't seem to work (you had to do some fairly complex editing of some of the PHP scripts too).

Well it was so much easier to do than I imagined. Here it is at the Traffic is King site. It's very well explained too. I think there was a video as well on the WordPress site, but I lost that link. So, what I found though is that after following the steps on that site, the RSS feed goes right to your notes section of whatever page you designated (my fan page for me). It also does an initial import of my current postings to my wall there. Any new posts though will go to your notes tab. The hope is to have the contents of my notes tab go to my wall so fans can see the postings immediately. Until then I have an RSS feed box going.
