Get the RSS URL from your SailBlog
On your blog main page, there is an RSS link if you have RSS enabled (its on by default). The link looks a little different depending on the template, but its usually an orange icon. Right click on the link and save the link location. This is the address of your RSS feed and provides the connection to Facebook:
Log Into Facebook
Log into your Facebook account, and locate the Notes application. From the lower left corner of your facebook screen, click the word applications:
Configure the Notes Application
Clicking on the Notes application in Facebook will bring up the main notes page. This page shows your recent notes and the recent notes from your friends. To the right of the notes listing is the Notes Settings box, illustrated here:
Click the Import a blog link.
Import Settings
The Import Blog screen in Facebook is shown here:
Paste the RSS URL you copied above into the Web URL field of the Facebook import box and click Start Importing. Facebook will connect to your blog and import summaries of your recent posts. You only have to do this once, as Facebook will now "listen" to the RSS feed for new posts.
