If I wasn't sold on having a Facebook page for your blog when I signed up for it a few months back, I am now. Facebook has rolled out some changes fairly recently that let you use Facebook as your page as opposed to as yourself or...your personal account. For example, when I am using FB as Village and I like a new page or comment on a status update - it tells them that "Village" liked them or that "Village" left them a comment on their status. For me, it's a great way to keep my blog happenings separate from my regular FB page, which appeals to me. I also like it because I know when I am interacting with a blog friend - they know who more clearly than if a random girl named Krystal said something to them :)
How to use Facebook as your blog page:
1. Click "Account" in upper right hand corner
2. Select "Use Facebook as Page"
3. On the box that pops up, click "Switch"
4. Voila, you are now using FB as your blog page.
Happy interacting!
Do you have a Facebook page for your blog? Let me know so I can connect with you.
Here's mine!
(P.S. You can switch back at any time :))
AMAZING! You are so smart bff :) XO
Love having a Facebook page! Trying to get more involved with mine: http://www.facebook.com/FashionsMaven
I've added yours! :)
oh cooool. thanks for this.
Thank you so much for this! Oh man, I need to do this ASAp.
OOOh that's very cool! I don't have one but have been considering. It all goes back to that work/life/blog balance though. Between the blog, tumblr, twitter, pintrest, weheartit, you name it, i'm totally swamped. But this does seem like a good idea :)
Someone setup a Facebook account for me, without my permission using my work address. My firm hates this because of the way Facebook takes data and links it in the background. Took me months to change the email address and clear out all the links. I Kind of lost interest after that and have not ever really used it. I might have to look at it again though, sounds interesting, thanks for the heads up….
heheh im not on FB (seriously...) but thanks for sharing!!! :D
no FB...
no Twitter...
seriously im a weirdo :/
will you still love me?
i should do this. i'm sure my friends are starting to get annoyed with all my blog updates by now. hehe.
You're such a keener! One day I will be too. One day.
Oh, gosh... everywhere I turn I see reasons to get my blog on FB and Twitter, I need to hurry up, ha!
Wow, thank you for letting me know about this!
I just "liked" your blog and if you want to connect, just click on my FB badge on my blog!
Cheers!!
I still have made a Well-Appointed Catwalk FB page. I know I should, but I have a hard enough time just keeping up with the blog and Twitter.
Very glad you posted about this - I am thinking about creating a FB page for my blog. I might look into it more this weekend. Just have to find the time!
Aw that sounds nice! I have issues keeping up with my own personal Facebook, I have been curious into making my Blog on facebook somehow! :)
Twitter it is for now!

I do! Yay -- come and connect with baby space :)
I want to do this, but as you know I just started a new blog b/c family was reading my old blog. I want to promote my blog on fb, but only want some people to see my blog page on fb. you may need to write me a tutorial for the severely confused. and clandestine.
That is a good feature. I don't have a personal FB page but wouldn't mind a Stylenuggets FB page. Thanks Krystal.
I was already a fan :) My blog has a fan page but I couldn't get a nice short URL like you!
This is just another reason why I just adore Krystal.
SHE IS AMAZING!!!!!!
xxxx Emily
PS- I need help with social media. hahahahaha. xx
I just did the switch and then switched back!
RADNESS!!!!!!!!!
Yes, we do! We think it's a totally helpful and easy way for people to follow and interact. Good luck with yours! xo style, she wrote
I'm going to have to try using FB as my page, which is at:

I'm now Village's newest like on FB! :)
You and me both!! I recently created a fb page for my blog, and I think it was the best decision made. It's free advertising, and why not take advantage!!
xoxo,

huh, I never knew this! I'm not a huge fan of facebook, but it's something worth checking out. Thanks for the tip!
I love the new Facebook updates....just kinda sucks when I forget to disconnect it from my Twitter and Im tweeting things I dont want to be onto my page, lol
Stop by and say Hello:)
Enter my Free People Giveaway!!♥
I do not but am now very intrigued :)
Hmm that's pretty cool. I've never really thought about using FB for my blog or anything. I might have to look into this.
I also think it is a great new tool that works perfectly when you have a separate page from your personal facebook page.
I can't keep up with you Krystal! However, i do need to go and like you on fb:-)
I've avoided linking to anything on my blog from FB because I wanted them separate - so this is great news.
Your page for Village is what convinced me to start a FB page for A Foreign Land. Do you feel stalked?
YOU. SHOULD. ;D
I have to admit I don't use Facebook much. I am set up with a blog-related account that shows my post feeds but that's about it. I hardly have the time to keep up with posting, commenting/reading blogs and Tweeting. Can't add more to my plate but it does sound like a great idea!
This is good to know. Thanks for sharing!

well that is definitely pretty snazzzy! i might have to whip one up for myself

so great to hear! I've been contemplating this, but i'm still humming and hawing about it. Good to hear you had success:) What is your #1 blog growth tip?
Wow, I didn't know that.
I don't have the option to switch mine :( Hmm. I kind of just want to start a new one and get really into it. Sadly I never do anything fun on my FB!
I haven't made a Facebook for my blog yet. I really should. I like how you can switch what profile you want to use within the same account.
i dont have one... i can barely keep up with what i have but will definitely like Village!!!
Very interesting. Thank you for sharing. Kind regards
excited about this too! It makes so much more sense, because as you said, many bloggers know each other through their blog name and not their full personal name.
Ah, this is great! I might try that:) I have been thinking of it already, but I thought it was kind of difficult to do. But it's so simple! Thanks for sharing!
hehehe i don't have a facebook page right now just b/c it would be another thing to keep me busy with.. and we all know i am WAY too busy hahah!! maybe one day though!!
I like this feature too, I have liked you and linked you to my Blog FB page too!

i thought facebook would be too much too. now you've persuaded me to seriously rethink the idea.
Cheers! I'll let you know.
p.s. also your latest follower.

Hi K :)
Thanks for that...
Yes I have a FB page...
You can find it under links, bit this was really smart...
Have a great day.
Oh reallu? That was much needed.
I hadn't set a page up for just that reason!
I love the new feature too :)

Hmmm ... good insight. Thanks for sharing.
I had no idea about this; thank you for telling us about it!
Oh yes! I agree but I just feel like my blog is enough time wise...but other wise great!
Im thinking about having an exPress-o facebook page. I might create one soon:) Thanks, sweetie
Kisses
I just might have to check that out.
This is awesome and so easy. Thanks so much for sharing!
Cool! I don't have a personal FB account anymore, but I was thinking of setting up a page for my blog.
Hello hello! Sorry I've been absent from your blog for the past couple of days, I've had some internet problems and haven't been able to read most blogs :\
Anyway, I like the new Facebook Page option too! And I now officially 'like' Village!
♥ Leia
Hi! It's a great option here's mine-
http://www.facebook.com/pages/Lisa-Darias-Painting-a-Day/176525855543
I agree, I also like this change. Only thing is that I think that when I like a page, it is goes to both profiles - my personal and my blog's one, I would prefer it to be just one them.
Anyway, it's a good move and will be happy to see you there!!
mine's the art of staying up all night. Off to add you now!
