Editing Cross-Posting from WordPress to Social Media Sites

==Overview==

Issues and information related to cross-posting WordPress content to various social media sites.

== Desired workflow ==

* Maintain and update content in my custom CMS.
* The Custom CMS posts to WordPress via its built-in XML-RPC listener.
* Either the site CMS or WordPress then submits that content to social media sites:
** Facebook (author page, not personal page)
** Tumblr
** Twitter
** Flickr

== WordPress plugins ==

=== Next Scripts: Social Networks Auto Poster ===

==== Overview ====

This plugin automatically publishes posts from your blog to your Social Network accounts including Facebook, Twitter, Google+, Tumblr, etc. 

It supports posting to Facebook pages (as opposed to a personal Facebook timeline).

==== Cross-posting to Facebook pages ====

The post doesn't seem to link back to my blog without adding a link to the text of the post on Facebook.

==Tumblr==

=== Tumblerize ===

WordPress plugin.

I think it’s set up with the expectation that you’d be manually creating WordPress posts and selecting the cross-post to Tumbler option from there. I.e. it’s all manual. Not sure if it can be set up to automatically post to Tumbler after remotely posting to WP via XML-RPC.

== Facebook ==

The goal is to post to a Facebook page as opposed to a Facebook user's timeline.

It is easier to post to a person's Facebook timeline than it is to post to a Facebook page.

There are WP plugins that allow you to cross-post to your personal Facebook page, but nothing at this date (October 2011) that makes it simple to cross-post to a Facebook page.

=== RSS Graffiti ===
Facebook app.
* Possible solution. Still under consideration.
* Setup & configuration:
** Grant it permission to your personal account
** Then grant it permission to the Facebook page. 
** Then add the feed to the list of feeds for the Facebook page.
** I set this up to pull content from the RSS feed for '''blog.damienjay.com''' and post it on the '''Damien Jay Comics''' Facebook page. More about this once I have seen it actually pull from my RSS.

== Twitter ==

I have this set up successfully with calls from the site CMS to the '''Flickr API'''.

TODO: add specific documentation.
