News!! Sharing Weblog Posts To A Facebook Page Instead Of Your Personal Profile

You tin portion from your spider spider web log to a Facebook page, instead of a profile, past switching to role the Facebook page before yous acquit out the share.


Sharing spider spider web log posts to Facebook

There are several  tools that anyone who is reading your spider spider web log (including you) tin role to portion it on Facebook, provided yous have got implemented them.  They include


And inwards the nigh depression tech-option of all, anyone tin only simulate your post's URL together with manually gum it onto Facebook themselves.

But no affair what pick is chosen, 1 thing stays the same:   the household inwards Facebook is the portion or similar goes to is controlled past how the someone doing the sharing is logged inwards to Facebook.   It is not controlled past you, the blog-owner who is providing the portion / similar / etc button.  This is true fifty-fifty if yous are sharing your ain posts:  it's your Facebook settings that matter, non the settings inwards your blog.

Switch to a page therefore yous tin portion to it

If yous wishing to portion your ain spider spider web log to a Facebook page instead of your personal account, together with therefore yous ask to switched to role Facebook every chip that page before yous attain the share (or similar / recommend etc).  
 
Doing this is quite easy, provided yous are an administrator for the page:

1   Log inwards to Facebook.

two   Choose Use Facebook every chip Page from the Account menu (currently a drop-down inwards the transcend right corner ... it may motility approximately inwards future).

iii  Click Switch beside the parent of the Page that yous wishing to portion to, from the listing shown.   (There may non concur out a listing if yous are entirely an administrator on 1 page)


This testament have got yous back to whatever Facebook covert yous were on before.  However when yous attain anything (eg click Top News or Recent, post to someone'e Wall, etc), it looks similar it was the Page, non your Profile, that did the action.

This way that yous tin share a blogger link inwards the common way, together with it testament concur off similar it was shared past the Page - together with it testament concur out shared to the Fans of the page, non to your personal Friends.


And if yous are non an administrator
If you're non an administrator for a Facebook Page, together with therefore yous cannot switch to it.

You may concur out able to post to its wall, depending on the security settings that the administrator has entered - but yous testament ask to portion the spider spider web log (etc) manually.



Current limits together with problems

I'm 99% for certainly that yous ask to concur out logged inwards to Facebook  and reading the spider spider web log using the same browser (ie inwards two dissimilar tabs or windows) for this to work.

Also, at the moment, at that topographic betoken is a run amongst Facebook's ain social plugins (the Like / Recommend / Send buttons, together with at to the lowest marker some of the other badges):  when yous are using Facebook every chip a page together with looking at a website which has the Facebook plug-ins installed, together with therefore the wrong thing is shown.   For example, on Blogger-HAT I'm currently seeing
  • My Facebook profile motion ikon instead of the Like / Send buttons to a higher household together with below posts, and
  • A large Facebook logo instead of the Like badge for my page.
This way that I cannot role the Like/Send buttons to recommend new posts to my Page.  However the old-style Share force does fifty-fifty therefore concur off together with locomote correctly (I only tried it out on BloggerSentral, to concur out for certainly - take in the resultant here).

For my ain posts, I don't recall this is much of a problem:  I'd rather attain the sharing manually, therefore that I tin customise the message to the subdivision of my audience who follow my spider spider web log on Facebook rather than on Twitter or through RSS or using a follow-by-email subscription.   But it may concur out to a greater extent than of an lay out if yous wishing your readers to portion your blog, together with they would similar to attain it on their ain Facebook Pages instead of their Facebook Profiles.    Lets hope that Facebook laid upwards this soon.


Automatically sharing to a Page

Many people would similar a Page to be automatically updated when they post to their blog.  

I've heard lots of people proverb that this tin concur out done, together with talking unopen doing it via RSS feeds etc - but personally I've non succeeded inwards making this locomote reliably.   For 1 of my pages that has quite a few fans, it worked occasionally - together with it was a flake annoying when I couldn't command the timing of the page update because the feed seemed to concur out delayed.

Have yous constitute a method that establish every time?
