How To Integrate Networked Blogs With Facebook And Your Blog

What is Networked Blogs?

NetworkedBlogs.com is an extension of the NetworkedBlogs Facebook Application to make their user-generated blog directory accessible outside Facebook and provide more exposure.

Make the Most of Your Partnership With Networked Blogs

First, add your blog to the directory so others can find it.

Visit the app’s home page and click on “+ Add a New Blog”.

2) Import your feed and push it to the stream for all your friends and fans to see.

This is one of the best ways to promote your blog. Make sure your posts show on your wall and in the news feed of your friends and fans. NetworkedBlogs provides several options to do that. On your blog page, click “feed settings” to enable this feature. And if you have a Facebook page, you can use this feature too through your page’s ‘edit page’ menu.

This is an example of how your article will appear to readers brought by your RSS feed:

3) Invite your friends to follow your blogs.

Your friends most likely want to follow your news and read what you write.

On your blog page, click “invite friends to follow”.

4) Add the NetworkedBlogs tab to your profile

Do that from your Facebook profile page as shown below:

5) Add NetworkedBlogs to your profile Wall and Info tabs

Visit your NetworkedBlogs profile page and click on “Add to Profile” and “Add to Info” as shown below:

6) Add the NetworkedBlogs widget to your blog.

The widget will allow your readers to follow your blog directly from your blog.

7) Use the news reader on the app’s home page.

Use it to find the latest news, and make sure to vote the good posts up. When you vote on a post, your picture will show next to that post for everyone else to see. You help the best posts get exposure, and people tend to click on pictures of those who recommend good articles to see what else they’re up to and might choose to follow your blog as well.

In Closing

It’s very important that you become comfortable with how Facebook and Networked Blogs relate, particularly in navigation and taking advantage of all the resources that are available to you.

Facebook provides a great opportunity to access a demographic that traditionally may not use other social networks, social book marking sites, or blogging communities.

Facebook has become an everyday staple for many internet users. And the easier you make the option to interact and integrate your blog into these reader’s everyday lives, the better for you and your blog.
