Sending Automatic Updates To Twitter and/or Facebook

  • Visit the website Twitterfeed.com and sign up
  • Once logged in click on “Create New Feed”
  • Choose either Twitter (and the account) or Facebook
  • Give name of the RSS Feed (e.g. Your Company name or keywords)
    • This name will only show for you in Twitterfeed, so make it descriptive
  • Add the RSS feed URL to the settings (you can find this on your blog page - usually called post rss feed. right click and copy link location)
  • Press “Test RSS Feed”
  • You should see green text below the RSS Feed URL field: “Feed parsed OK”
  • Go to Advanced Settings
  • Adjust the update frequency
    • My recommendation: Every Hour and 1 new update(s) at a time
    • You can update less frequently, or even every 30 minutes, but think very hard if you want to increase the number of updates at a time
  • Post content: For your blog feed, you probably want to choose “title only” if you’re posting to Twitter, “title & description” is good for Facebook
  • Make sure “Post Link” check-box is checked
  • Click on “Create feed”

There you have it, every post you make will go automatically to Twitter and Facebook. There are advanced uses for this and ways to expand but they are for another post.
