For several hours now, I’ve been searching for a way to import multiple blogs into my facebook account. Unfortunately, Facebook only allows for one RSS feed to post. So those with more than one blog need to get creative if you want to share all your posts.
After searching for an application on Facebook to suit my needs ~~ and not finding one – I did not want one for another tab.. I wanted it to seamlessly post into my “notes”… I moved on to WordPress plugins (because, if you read Momma Muse with any regularity, you know I use wordpress and *love* plugins).. and finding nothing there to suit my needs… I just started googling my keywords.. multiple blogs facebook and came across my fix.
Chris Osborne of Juggle Chainsaws, shares the frustration I was feeling with only being able to import one blog. Chris even rotated importing each blog… I’m not nearly so dedicated to that sort of maintenance so was glad to see the offer of a better solution.
Using an RSS aggregator, Chris uses ChimpFeedr, which I used and seems to work great, you add your feeds one at a time and them Chomp Chomp to mix them together… the output is one RSS feed which combines all the blogs. Add that to your facebook and you are good to go.
ChimpFeedr was so super easy.. no sign-up, nothing to do but go there and immediately start adding your blog feeds. Way simple.
As Chris notes and I will too, keep the ChimpFeedr RSS feed it gives you in a safe place, as there is no way to go back and find it – only way is to add all your blogs and Chomp/Mix it up again. Not a big deal, but keeping it handy may be just as easy.

I wish there was a better way to do this. I can’t fathom why Facebook limits you to one blog. Thanks for the info I guess I’ll use this until I can find something better
The problem I am having with the ChimpFeedr link is that after I mixed my 3 feeds, it does not update the new posts anymore. A new post on any of my blogs does not show up in my combined RSS feed.
Is this what you have experienced?
I agree with rd above. I experienced the same problem with ChimpFeedr… I chomped about 5 or 6 rss feeds together. Once I inputed my new aggregated rss link into Facebook, it did as your article says–it seamlessly pulled all of my posts from all of my blogs into notes. My only problem now is updating after that. I haven’t seen any of my newer posts pulled into Facebook :-/ I’m sure they’re working on this though.
I have had the same problem as rd and Bessie. After day 1, nothing updates. I also experienced the same issue with the kickrss feed aggregator.
This is extremely helpful. Thank you! :)
