Has anyone set up a Facebook page to support their blog?

I was thinking I might dip a toe in the water, and I have seen some pages that are 'business pages' but listed as personal blog in the descriptor - but I can't see anything in the set-up process (where you have to select the nature of your business) that looks appropriate. Magazine? Entertainment? Anyone navigated their way through this already?

I've definitely found Networked Blogs the best FB app for Blogger blogs. You can set it to post to Twitter too.

I think a couple of people from here have 'liked' my page and just wanted to say thank you! I'm not sure who you are but assumed the new people were mums netters as you aren't cavorting about pretending to be Marie Antoinette in your pictures! :)

My Facebook page is here :)

One thing I really like about having Facebook pages is that you can post the link to your latest post there, and people who wouldn't normally use Google Reader or RSS feeds can go and check out your post. I get quite a lot of hits from my page. So my mum, for example, who would have no clue when I post on my blog, would recieve a notification as she likes my FB page, and then goes and has a read of it and criticises me tons so you reach a fairly large portion of people who have no clue how blogging works, iyswim?

PS - I have gone and liked all your pages by the way :)

I suspect I am one of the mysterious "likers" Mme Guillotine.

Strawberry, thanks so much! :)

MmeGuillotine I've always had a thing about Marie Antoinette and other historical females, I think your blog is stunning.

Ooh, thanks! :)

I'm so fascinated by all of it. In fact, writing my blog has given my interest in history a new lease of life and I'm now thinking about going back to university to do my Masters and then possibly a Doctorate so I can be Dr Guillotine, Ripperologist MD. ;D

MmeG can you recommend any decent books on Marie-Antoinette now you have started my interest in her other than Antonia Fraser's which I am now coming to the end of.

Readable once I don't have the energy for dry history anymore my brain is too mushy nowadays. I blame the baby, not

Of course - I'd definitely recommend Evelyne Lever's books (there's one translated into English but the others are in French) and also Joan Haslip's book, which is out of print now but can be picked up pretty cheaply from Amazon Marketplace. :)

I also like Caroline Weber's 'Queen of Fashion: What Marie Antoinette Wore To The Revolution.' :)

I ordered Madame Campan's memoirs (they're free on Kindle) have you read them?

Shall look up Evelyne Lever.

I don't read much other than mags and newspapers in French as I am far too lazy but will have a look once have exhausted all the English options.

Thanks btw

Oh yes, I've read Madame Campan's memoirs - they don't let you write novels set in 18th century France if you haven't read them and the memoirs of Madame de la Tour du Pin. ;)

Actually, Mme de la Tour du Pin's memoirs are EXCELLENT and available in English as well as French. There's a great recent biography called Dancing on the Precipice which you would probably like. :)

Cool - thanks, that should keep me from doing all the stuff on my to do list busy for ages!
