How to Update Facebook Fan Pages with RSS Feed Updates

This tutorial will explain how you can Update your Facebook Pages using an RSS feed. This will allow you to Update the Wall of your Facebook Pages using an RSS Feed. I have used it to publish my blog’s RSS feed (PathikShah.Com RSS) directly on my Facebook Fan Page (PathikShah.Com Facebook Page).

Log in to your Facebook Account using your email id / password.

Create the Facebook Page by going to http://www.facebook.com/pages if you haven’t already.

Access the RSS Graffiti application by going to http://apps.facebook.com/rssgraffiti/

Allow the RSS Graffiti application access your profile and grant it all the required permissions to allow constant authorization, publishing etc.

Click on the Fan Page listed on the left tab of the RSS Graffiti application and add the application to it and allow publishing permissions.

Now you can just directly add whatever RSS feeds you want to the RSS Graffiti application on your Facebook Page and all the RSS updates will be published to its Wall.

To add an RSS feed, just add the URL of the feed and keep the default options. Click on Save when you are done. The wall should be updated in some time with the latest feeds. You can add as many RSS feeds as you want.
