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.
