  Facebook lets you import existing blogs into your “notes”. I had no problems with my old blog (not on wordpress), but have just set up a wordpress blog. I went to make the change at Facebook – it asks for the feed, so I entered http://blog.wordpress.com/feed/ (yes, I substituted “blog” with my username). But I get the following error – “Import Failed We couldn’t find a feed using the URL you provided.”

  Any help?

  Try using feed://blog.wordpress.com/feed/ , which is what the http:// URL will actually resolve to.

  What is the address of your wordpress.com blog?

  I just checked your feed, http://lannette.wordpress.com/feed/ , and it seems to be working fine. See what facebook has to say as I’m out of ideas. Perhaps someone else will chime in here with an idea though.

  Could it be all the changes made to facebook recently?

  I use an app there and the person who wrote it is considering dropping it because he just don’t have time to deal with all the API changes.
