There are a lot of small businesses that are starting the realize the power of communities such as Facebook and Twitter. It’s true that a lot of them don’t have time to get down to the nitty gritty and be fully involved in these communities. But having a presence on these websites is a good start. Facebook is one of the top dogs among social networking services, and it’s got a great potential to help small businesses take their business to the next level. But as good as Facebook is, it comes with one of the most unintuitive interfaces that I have seen. Whether the company is keeping complicated and hard to figure out on purpose is beside the point. But there are a lot of simple tasks that are not so simple to get done on Facebook.

Feeding your blog to your Facebook pages could be a hassle. You certainly want to share your blog posts with the world, but you may not want your posts to show up on your personal profile. So you need to be careful before adding your blogs to Facebook. There are plenty of apps that help you get the word out about your blog posts, and Facebook also has built-in features to help you do that. Here are 3 ways that I would go about adding my blog RSS to a Facebook page:

1. Facebook notes: this is a pretty straight forward way to import your blog on to you Facebook page. What you want to do here is log on to your page and click on the edit page button at the top left of your screen. From there, you want to choose your note’s setting option and edit your import settings on the very next page. Not very straight forward, but it gets the job done.

2. NetworkedBlogs: NetworkedBlogs is a cool service that can help you drive more traffic to your blog. It also has a Facebook app that lets you feed your blog posts to your Facebook pages and display them on your wall.

3. RSS for Pages: Involver has some of the best Facebook applications around, especially if you are willing to pay for an app. RSS for Pages is one of many apps offered by Involver that lets you import your blog posts to your Facebook pages and get the word out about them.

I admit that the process needs to be a whole lot easier. The problem is not just this specific task. Facebook needs a lot of work if it wants to truly become user-friendly. Nevertheless, if you want to add your blog to your Facebook pages, the above 3 methods are a good start.
