How to get Facebook Page updates on your News page

Captain's Log, Stardate 03.20.2012

I’ve been annoyed lately because Facebook changes SO often that I have to keep changing my settings in order to make sure I get the feed updates I want.

My latest annoyance is that I didn’t know how to get the news feeds of the pages I liked, like the ones for music artists and TV shows.

But this also includes Authors I’ve liked, which is what spurred me to figure out how to do this.

How to get updates from your “liked” pages on your main Facebook news page:

1) Go to your profile.
2) Click on your Likes.
3) You’ll see a list of everything you’ve “liked” on Facebook. Hover your mouse over each one, and a little box will pop up.
4) Hover your mouse over the gray “Liked” box. A dropdown list will show up.
5) There will be a section called “Add to lists” and you may already have lists or there is an option to add a “New list.” You can add the page to a list already there, or add a new list.
6) When you add a new list, you’ll get a popup box. From here, you can add other pages to your new list besides the one page. Click on “Pages” on the right side and add any pages you want in your new list. You can also add friends and subscriptions, but for my Facebook newsfeed, I’ve already put my friends in different “friend” lists.
7) After you’ve added your pages, click Next at the bottom right.
8) Here you can name your list and also pick who can see your list. You can make it public, viewable only by your friends, or viewable only by yourself. Then click Done at the bottom right.

Another option is to get page updates in your email inbox, which I’ve also done via Hyper Alerts. Here’s a good article explaining Hyper Alerts and how to use it.

How do you get updates from your favorite Facebook pages? Any ideas besides these two solutions?

Thanks, Camy. It is difficult keeping up with all the changes on Facebook. Some I like, but still...

I tried it, but the hovering just shows the name of the Like and offers no choices. Any suggestions? I'm using Chrome on a PC.

Is there a little gray "Liked" box? Click on that. I didn't think to click on it at first and it took me a while to figure out that if you click on the "Liked" button you actually get choices, it doesn't "unlike" the page.

Hi,
I was so glad to find this blog, my husband and I have a website that is so heavily Facebook integrated that updates can be a pain... Finding your blog at least makes me feel like I'm not the only one.
Thanks for the information it has been so nice to discover things I had no idea I could do on facebook.

You're welcome, Rhonda! I hope this helps makes things easier for you!

Grace Livingston Hill romances free to read online

I wanted to update my old post on Grace Livingston Hill romances because now there are tons more options for you to be able to read her books for free online! I’m a huge Grace Livingston Hill fan. Granted, not all her books resonate with me, but there are a few that I absolutely love, like The Enchanted Barn and Crimson Roses . And the best part is that she wrote over 100 books and I haven’t yet read them all! When I have time, I like to dive into a new GLH novel. I like the fact that most of them are romances, and I especially appreciate that they all have strong Christian themes. Occasionally the Christian content is a little heavy-handed for my taste, but it’s so interesting to see what the Christian faith was like in the early part of the 20th century. These books are often Cinderella-type stories or A Little Princess (Frances Hodgson Burnett) type stories, which I love. And the best part is that they’re all set in the early 1900s, so the time period is absolutely fasci...

This free Christian Regency romantic suspense novella is the perfect entry point into my Lady Wynwood’s Spies series. Get it free when you join my newsletter (details below). Miss Lissa Gardinier survived her last London Season by pretending to be as inoffensive as possible. But at this ball, she lets her true thoughts slip yet again . And this time, they involve an unfortunately named spaniel. Excerpt Last year during that first dance with Mr. Collingworth, upon seeing him excitedly discuss his dog breeding, she had been encouraged to also speak without restraint. So she had voiced her exact thoughts rather than hiding behind a vapid facade. “Why in the world would you name a dog Lickspittle Furrybottom?” At Mr. Collingworth’s startled look, Lissa realized that she’d said that out loud now , in this dance with him. “… Not...

No Cold Bums toilet seat cover

Captain's Log, Stardate 08.22.2008 I actually wrote out my pattern! I was getting a lot of hits on my infamous toilet seat cover , and I wanted to make a new one with “improvements,” so I paid attention and wrote things down as I made the new one. This was originally based off the Potty Mouth toilet cover , but I altered it to fit over the seat instead of the lid. Yarn: any worsted weight yarn, about 120 yards (this is a really tight number, I used exactly 118 yards. My suggestion is to make sure you have about 130 yards.) I suggest using acrylic yarn because you’re going to be washing this often. Needle: I used US 8, but you can use whatever needle size is recommended by the yarn you’re using. Gauge: Not that important. Mine was 4 sts/1 inch in garter stitch. 6 buttons (I used some leftover shell buttons I had in my stash) tapestry needle Crochet hook (optional) Cover: Using a provisional cast on, cast on 12 stitches. Work in garter st until liner measures...

Insecurities in writing

Captain's Log, Stardate 10.31.2005 Happy Halloween! I'm filching--er, giving away candy at the front door to all these kids. (The Butterfinger Crisp bars are GOOD.) I just emailed Dee about something that's been bugging me--as I do the rewrites for my suspense, I'm feeling insecure. I got great feedback from Wendy and those authors' scoresheets, so I know what I'd like to do, but I'm having a hard time feeling confident that I can do it. Please, no fuzzy-wuzzy cyber-hugs or anything like that. This isn't something I need encouragement about. I need to sharpen my focus, sift through all I've learned from books, articles, and workshops. Most of all, I need to pray. I know my insecurity often comes from Satan. I give in too easily. I was even expecting it, ever since the ACFW conference . I can't shake it. It's like flapping your hand to get gunk off your fingers, but it's too sticky to let loose. I need t...
