I’ve set up a Facebook group and would like to leverage the content I post to a weblog by having it also appear in my Facebook group. Is this possible? (Like when I post in Twitter, the post automatically shows up in Facebook.)
Thanks.

you can set it up to receive your rss feed.

I’ve done that. It works relatively well. If you make lots of edits to your content, I would make sure to set the RSS feed up so that it only posts new content. Using the default RSS EE template, Facebook will take as new entries every entry that you edit, leading to duplication.

Hmmm, I’ll have to have a look at that. Thanks for the tip. To set it up to accept only new content is that a setting in facebook or on the default RSS template?

That’s in the RSS feed template. See this thread for more details:
