Jeff: This plugin only produces a feed – whether you can include the feed in a Facebook group, I don’t know.

I was wondering if there was a way to post this directly to a group rather then to my main FB feed?

I have a group that I am running on FB and would love to just post my blog posts there. Please let me know if this is possible.

Thanks,

Jeff

Viscouse: You’re right – it would be much more useful if Facebook included links in the notes when displaying them on the wall, or allowed the title link to lead to the actual article rather than another Facebook page. They do it for posted links, but it appears that when it comes tofeeds they’d rather keep users and external content inside Facebook.

Sorry…addendum. When the Note gets published to the Wall, it seems to strip any hyperlinks.

Why would FB do that?

This plugin rocks so hard, it hurts. Thank you.

I have a quick question. The feed is being produced correctly, and FB reads it fine. My question is more of semantics regarding how FB processes (or I’m just not doing something right). The feed comes in as a Note, which gets posted to the Wall. So on the Wall, which is structured: Note link, blog excerpt, comment/like/share. So a reader has to click on the Note link, and THEN the “Leave Facebook to read the rest on my blog” link.

Is this right? Is there a way to make a link directly to the post without having to go to the Note first?

Finally stumbled upon something I’ve wanted for donkey’s years, thanks to a kind tip off from one of your commenters. This does the job nicely, will definitely be back to see what other gems you create. Many thanks.

Voyagerfan5761: Thanks for the update. Glad it’s working now and it’s good to know the difference between the plugins too.

I attempted to install the FeedSmith plugin before commenting here. WordPress said the plugin had an invalid header. But I just tried again and it’s installed, so I don’t know what went wrong before.

I do notice that there are no configuration options for FeedSmith other than the post and comment feed URLs. FD FeedBurner has options for not redirecting category/tag and search result feeds. But I can probably live with the lack of support for that. Maybe I’ll send a feature request to FeedBurner. Or if I have the time, hack it in myself.
