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

You tin portion from your spider web log to a Facebook page, instead of a profile, yesteryear switching to purpose the Facebook page earlier yous bear out the share.

Sharing spider web log posts to Facebook

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

• Blogger-provided social sharing buttons, 
• Facebooks' ain similar / recommend / transportation social plug-ins together with portion button 
• 3rd political party tools (AddThis, ShareThis etc).

And inwards the most depression tech-option of all, anyone tin simply re-create your post's URL together with manually glue it onto Facebook themselves.

But no affair what pick is chosen, 1 thing stays the same:   the house inwards Facebook is the portion or similar goes to is controlled yesteryear how the someone doing the sharing is logged inwards to Facebook.   It is not controlled yesteryear you, the blog-owner who is providing the portion / similar / etc button.  This is truthful 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 hence yous tin portion to it

If yous desire to portion your ain spider web log to a Facebook page instead of your personal account, together with hence yous require to switched to purpose Facebook every bit that page before yous produce the share (or similar / recommend etc).  
 

Doing this is quite easy, provided yous are an administrator for the page:

1   Log inwards to Facebook.

2   Choose Use Facebook every bit Page from the Account carte (currently a drop-down inwards the overstep right corner ... it may motility around inwards future).

three  Click Switch beside the cite of the Page that yous desire to portion to, from the listing shown.   (There may non hold out a listing if yous are exclusively an administrator on 1 page)

This volition accept yous dorsum to whatever Facebook covert yous were on before.  However when yous produce 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 agency that yous tin share a blogger link inwards the commons way, together with it volition hold off similar it was shared yesteryear the Page - together with it volition hold 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 hence yous cannot switch to it.

You may hold out able to post to its wall, depending on the safety settings that the administrator has entered - but yous volition require to portion the spider web log (etc) manually.

Current limits together with problems

I'm 99% for certain that yous require to hold out logged inwards to Facebook  and reading the spider web log using the same browser (ie inwards 2 unlike tabs or windows) for this to work.

Also, at the moment, at that topographic point is a work alongside Facebook's ain social plugins (the Like / Recommend / Send buttons, together with at to the lowest degree some of the other badges):  when yous are using Facebook every bit a page together with looking at a website which has the Facebook plug-ins installed, together with hence the incorrect thing is shown.   For example, on Blogger-HAT I'm currently seeing

• My Facebook profile motion painting instead of the Like / Send buttons to a higher house together with below posts, and
• A large Facebook logo instead of the Like badge for my page.

This agency that I cannot purpose the Like/Send buttons to recommend novel posts to my Page.  However the old-style Share push does even hence hold off together with locomote correctly (I simply tried it out on BloggerSentral, to hold out for certain - run into the upshot here).

For my ain posts, I don't recollect this is much of a problem:  I'd rather produce the sharing manually, hence that I tin customise the message to the department of my audience who follow my spider web log on Facebook rather than on Twitter or through RSS or using a follow-by-email subscription.   But it may hold out to a greater extent than of an number if yous desire your readers to portion your blog, together with they would similar to produce it on their ain Facebook Pages instead of their Facebook Profiles.    Lets promise that Facebook fix 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 maxim that this tin hold out done, together with talking close 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 hold out delayed.

Have yous constitute a method that plant every time?
