How to get automatic updates on your Facebook Page

There’s no doubt that managing a Facebook Page has become much easier with tools like Hootsuite and Seesmic.
But the one thing nonprofit Page admins still need is an easy way to find out when someone posts, comments or likes content on their wall.
Last week, Mari Smith pointed out a free online tool from Norway called Hyper Alerts.
Hyper Alerts automatically sends you an email when content is posted on a specified Facebook Page.

Add a Facebook Page to your alert list

What you’ll like about Hyper Alerts is that you can get updates on any Facebook Page. This is particularly useful when you want to “listen in” to how other orgs engage fans during particular events.
For example, during Breast Cancer Awareness Month, various orgs can be more aware of the various conversations on each others Facebook Pages.

Choose what kind of Facebook Page updates you want

Regardless of whether you admin the Page or not, you can choose to receive updates on posts and comments from fans, or content from the Page. Posts on the Page also include when that Page is tagged.

Choose how often you want updates

You can also choose how often you want to receive Facebook Page updates. The options are:
As soon as possible
Daily at a specific time
Hourly
Weekly
Monthly

Facebook Page updates are sent to your email

Automatically update your Facebook page with your blog entries

I found this article over at Publetariat today and thought it was a bloody useful snippet of information. It basically describes how to connect your blog feed to your Facebook page using the Notes application. Once you’ve set it up, any new post to your blog will get found by Facebook and automatically posted to your profile as a note.
I’ve just set it up and hopefully this very post will soon appear on my Facebook profile. It’s a great way to keep your various online presences linked using your blog as a primary hub. That’s certainly what I try to do. It’s very important for someone in my position to build an online profile across the web that is standardised and coherent. It’s often referred to as an Author Platform.
For example, I always use the same picture (the one in the banner above) pretty much everywhere. That only changes on my Facebook profile because it’s fun to keep messing with that. Currently it’s a picture of me and David Vincent from Morbid Angel. Who wouldn’t share that shot with the world?
But otherwise I try to keep everything centralised. I have a feed for this blog going to all the various ning communities I belong to and to my Goodreads Author page and my MySpace profile – every time I make a new post here, it updates in all those places as if by magic. Now it automatically feeds to my Facebook page too.
If you’re trying to build your online presence keep an eye open for tools like these to help streamline and organise your activity. Check the Publetariat page linked above for full details on the Facebook notes application feed.

This works for IE, FF, Safari and Opera.

Drop down menu appears UNDER Flash

Well I've managed to get it working.

Basically I had to take out anything relating to the script "AC_RunActiveContent.js" (in the </head> and also in the Flash coding.

Then I added in the following to the flash coding:-

<param name="quality" value="high">
<param name="embed" value="transparent"><br>
<param name="wmode" value="transparent">
<param name="menu" value="false">

and also added the following to the embed tag:-

wmode="transparent"

and

menu="false"

This is an mixture of all sorts of things I have found online. I'm sure it can be tidied up, but hey, it works !!
