<p>Exciting news: you can now create <a href="http://blog.widgetbox.com/category/blidget-pro/">Blidgets and Blidget Pros</a> from your Facebook Feed. Add you Twitter activity, blog or RSS feed, and other useful content from across the web and you have the ultimate social media / marketing widget! Here&#8217;s how:</p>
<h3>1. Install Chia&#8217;s Newsfeed RSS App</h3>
<p>To get started, you need to allow the new <a href="http://www.facebook.com/apps/application.php?id=70450313499">Newsfeed RSS Application on Facebook and grant it access</a>. The application will access your Facebook feed and convert it into an RSS feed. Note: this <a href="http://www.facebook.com/apps/application.php?id=70450313499">all occurs on Facebook.com</a> and you will need to login before accessing the application and granting access</p>
<p>You can <a href="http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/five_things_you_can_do_with_this_new_facebook_rss.php">read more about Newsfeed RSS on ReadWriteWeb</a>.</p>
<p><img src="http://i105.photobucket.com/albums/m222/berecruited/Widgetbox/rssnewsfeedfacebook.jpg"></p>
<h3>2. Grab the RSS Feed and Create Your Blidget Pro!</h3>
<p>Once you have granted Newsfeed RSS access, you will be provided a link to your feed. You can now enter that directly into the Widgetbox Blidget Pro editor (<a href="http://www.widgetbox.com">enter directly from our homepage</a>). You will now have the regular options to:</p>
<p>- customize the Blidget Pro&#8217;s appearance<br />
- customize the feed&#8217;s layout (supposedly images are coming soon!)<br />
- add multiple tabs to the widget (such as Twitter, blog feeds, etc)</p>
<p>Here is an example using:<br />
- my Facebook Badge as my Blidget&#8217;s header<br />
- three tabs: my Facebook feed, my Twitter feed and my blog feed</p>
