Greetings from Asheville! My only summer vacation is a short trip to the mountains to show my mother around. We visited my son in Boone for his 19th birthday (sophomore at APP), and we're seeing the Biltmore House today. Starting to love the NC mountains! On to business -
A few days ago I figured out how to direct my blog posts to my Facebook page. It wasn’t easy information to find so I thought I’d share. Go to http://www.facebook.com/notes.php. On the bottom of the left column, click on Edit Import Settings. Enter the URL of the blog post that you want to feed to your Facebook page. If you are using blogger, I believe you have to add the following to the end of your URL: /feeds/posts/default. So my URL was http://ajlesueur.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default. Save the settings. Your blog posts should now start to appear on your Facebook page. This just shows up as part of your news feed. In terms of using this for educational purposes, if a school library had a Facebook page (like Durham County Library does) and you directed your blog feed to that page, I think the posts would automatically show up on the student’s news feed when they “like” your page. I haven’t committed to having a Facebook page for my school library because I’m in an elementary school and I’m not sure we should be encouraging Facebook when you are supposed to be 13 to join. Are there any middle or high school libraries in Durham

This is great, Alison! One of the problems with so much technology available is that it is hard to choose which medium to use. Using this method, you don't have to!
