I've done all the steps you described, thank you, but my blog post isn't showing up on my facebook wall. Is there something else I need to do?
ReplyDeleteJulia, go to the "Blog Profile" on Networked Blogs and click "Pull Now." You post should appear on your page within a few minutes.
DeleteComparing the time stamp of your blog post to your comment, it looks like you installed the widget after your post. The Networked Blogs app receives your feed from Blogger as soon as it goes out, but today's feed had already gone. Kinda like missing the bus :)
It looks like everything is installed properly (widget showing on your blog), so now the feed from your blog posts will go to the Networked Blogs app and automagically appear on your Facebook wall.
Hope this helps!
