How to Feed Facebook Status to Blogger

How to Feed Facebook Status to Blogger

by Jason Artman, Demand Media
If you update your Facebook status each day to let your friends know what you are doing, you might like to display your current status in other locations such as your blog on Google's Blogger service. This may make your blog feel more personal to your readers. It also lets them know that you have a Facebook account, in case they might like to add you as a friend. Locate the feed for your Facebook status updates and add it to your Blogger blog using a sidebar gadget.
Step 1
Log in to your account at Facebook.com, and click the "See All" link in the upper-right corner of the "Mini-Feed" box on the home page. This displays the full update feed for your account, showing all of the recent updates that have been sent to your friends.
Step 2
Click to select the "Status Stories" heading, and then click the "My Status" link below. This page displays your recent Facebook status updates in the Really Simple Syndication (RSS) format.
Step 3
Click the address bar at the top of the browser window to highlight the full URL of the status feed for your Facebook account. Right-click the URL, and select "Copy."
Step 4
Log in to your Blogger.com account using a new browser window or tab, and then click the "Design" link next to your blog's title.
Step 5
Click "Add a Gadget" on the right side of the page. This opens a new window with a list of gadgets that you can install for your blog.
Step 6
Click the blue plus sign next to the gadget titled "Feed."
Step 7
Right-click the "Feed URL" field, and select "Paste." The URL for your Facebook status feed appears in the field. Click the "Continue" button.
Step 8
Click the "Title" field, and type a title such as "My Facebook Status."
Step 9
Click the drop-down menu next to "Show," and select the number of status updates that you want your blog to display. Select "1" to display only your current Facebook status.
Step 10
Click the "Save" button to begin displaying your Facebook status on your Blogger blog.
