Backlight Blog and Social Media

Backlight 4, 5 & 6 Support

OK. Time to seek advice. I’ve never been happy with WordPress and its complexity, cost, security and data sharing issues, so when the BL blog became available, I jumped on that bandwagon like no tomorrow.

The only component of WP I miss is the ability to automatically post blog entries onto social media, FaceBook in my case. Not currently a component of BL blog and seems unlikely in the future based upon my review of the discussions here.

Is there a semi painless way to share blog entries on FaceBook? How are others handling this dilemma?

Regards,
Jim H.

Have you looked into using the blog rss feed?
(I don’t use them so don’t know if feeds can be tied into Facebook)
You can turn on blog feeds in Settings under Public RSS Feeds

We have some information here how to use the RSS feeds as event triggers. You might be able to set up Zapier or IFTTT to post articles to Facebook.
