How to Blog on Facebook

Facebook is a social networking platform that allows you to connect and share information with your friends, family, co-workers, and other acquaintances.

Although Facebook does not currently feature a blogging platform for its users, you can still share your blog entries on Facebook by posting blog links into your update status, using the Notes feature of Facebook, or using third-party applications (apps) that automatically post your blog entries to Facebook upon publication.
