With the release of the new beta version RSS Graffiti 2.0, some folks are finding it difficult to use. This post is not only being written for people facing problems to use it but also will help people who are looking for publicizing their post on social networking giant Facebook. To elaborate further the app on the official page describes RSS Graffiti as a Facebook tool that will keep your Facebook followers updated with your latest news from your RSS sources.

RSS sources are basically RSS feeds which you will get after making an account on feedburner. Feedburner is a program of Google Inc. , to burn your post into feeds , just use this link feedburner to create an account by logging in with your existing Gmail account. Once you are done with that, you need to add your websites or blog’s address in the field  mentioned in your feedburner account. The field would look like this,

Add your website URL in the field marked red and in the next step you are directed to various steps to setup your account. Remember the field address which you will enter in one of the steps, you will need this address later. It will be something like http://feeds.feedburner.com/your website title . In your case it may be different.Now, whatever you post on your website, Feedburner will automatically grab that post and convert it into feeds.
