Well, my blogging frequency really hasn’t improved… that’s ok, uhm, I guess. However, one thing that really bugs me is the whole paradigm of getting my posts onto Facebook. To put it short and sweet: Facebook blog imports are terrible. If I post something here, good luck reading about it in 2 DAYS on my Facebook page. Seriously, it takes FOREVER to update with Facebook.
In more recent news, I tried to help my wife import her blog to her profile. No can do. The stupid tool just errors out, so I tried googling the error, and found users all over the place having the same issue at different points in time. So, I looked around for alternatives. One application often mentioned was RSS Graffiti, so I checked it out. It has lots of options, can post to your profile, any of your pages, and even events, simultaneously! It can also be set to check for updates MUCH more often (yeah, laugh it up, like it matters for my once-a-month posts). I set it up for here, and hereby declare that I will be setting it up for myself as well! Hopefully if I configured it correctly, this post will be my first using RSS Graffiti.
Finally, since this is a photography blog and all… I’ll leave you with a kind of humorous picture. This groomsman was THRILLED when a bridesmaid asked him to hold her bouquet! I think he kind of reflects my attitude towards Facebook and their inept blog post import system. Really Facebook, really!?
I, too, tried the whole Facebook import post thing a while back... and quickly gave up. I found it much quicker to export posts from Facebook than to import them (and I was only posting links and a short synopsis). Sometimes one just has to double post, which is a pain. But with the overall glitchiness (yeah, I know that's not a word) of Facebook, I've essentially given up on it for any sort of real, practical, everyday usage.
