Convert Facebook to Blog Posts!

-
Facebook is not a blogging tool, though some people claim Facebook Notes, Facebook Pages, Facebook Groups are possible alternatives for people who might not have their own dedicated blog or website. And I have been using Facebook for Blogging on a variety of topics.  


However, these Facebook posts can't be grouped under different subject categories and this is a serious shortcoming for bloggers. Also, the sheer amount of information makes it hard to find certain posts or topics in Facebook. 

Recently I discovered that Facebook allows me to transfer a copy of my posts and notes to another service such as Google Docs, Daybook, Blogger, and WordPress. I chose to transfer to Google Blogger since it is an easy to use tool and I have already created a website to store the blogs. 

During the transfer process, Facebook announces that it will transfer a maximum of 100 posts at a time, but all that it does is to transfer 5 posts at a time; and you can only create 1 Blogger job in 24 hours.

Facebook does not have the concept of a Title for the posts. So after transferring the contents to Blogger I have to reformat each post to make the content readable better, along with an appropriate Title. Since this task takes quiet some time I am OK with the limitation of transferring 5 posts a day!

Now I have already transferred around 70 posts and I am quite happy with the results. See this for yourself at my new website How Can We Matter.


I am sure this technique will benefit all those who are prolific Facebook posters!

Copyright: Internet Given India's current position as a politically vibrant nation with a coalition government, a rapidly growing economy, and an expanding global influence across multiple sectors, it has naturally attracted the envy of various nations who would prefer to see its progress stall or reverse.  The India-Pakistan Situation In this context, engaging in warfare with a poor and struggling neighboring country would be a self-destructive act, squandering the significant advantages the present BJP led Indian government has painstakingly built over the last decade. Pushing Pakistan deeper into poverty through a war could inadvertently lead to global sympathy for them. Other countries and international ...

Sir Chettur Sankaran Nair: A Life of Principle and Purpose

Surprisingly, it required someone like Prime Minister Narendra Modi, sitting 2,500 km away in Delhi, to illuminate the significant contributions of Kerala's illustrious son, Sir Chettur Sankaran Nair (1857-1934), for Keralites and Indian historians. Sir Chettur Sankaran Nair This luminary had risen to prominent judicial roles in the British administration, received a knighthood  under British rule, yet ultimately relinquished all these accolades to fight against injustice within the same British legal framework , a system that ironically helped pave the path to India's eventual independence . Following PM Modi's directive, Union Minister Suresh Gopi visited the ancestral home of freedom fighter and former Congress president's family in Ottapalam and their residence in Chandranagar, Palakkad, on Sunday.
