Still no solution, but, since I learned my feed skins were not actually installed, I went and installed them. This solved the feed validation problem, as _atom, _rss2, and _rss feeds all pass now.

Facebook still won't process the feed, though, which is showing all posts from 3 different blogs, an adaptation from the "View All" option that existed in pre-version 2, I think.

Somebody please help, either with showing me a feature I need to enable or disable, or by just letting me know it's Facebook's problem. Thanks.

As far as I remember the last time I imported a blog into facebook notes I just used the blog url (not the feed url) and it worked fine with no changes to the feeds at all.

Thanks, lturner, but none of my links have worked. I have used the web address and the feeds without success.

have you validate your feed? My feed is imported withouth problem.. Maybe some invalid tag..

I ran the URL through the validator at:

http://www.feedvalidator.org/

and it passes.

strange.. My blog is imported withouth problem...

Walter, what b2evolution blog version are you running?

hum... almost 4.0 ;) (developer, using whissip branch)

I am using the latest stable b2evo on my blog and that imports into facebook no problem. It is strange as your feeds seem to be ok when loaded into a feed reader.

I just went to my server admin log file and it's spitting out the following error in relation to the attempt:

"client denied by server configuration..."

I'm guessing my server is being too strict, or I need to add something to a robots.txt file or .htaccess file. I don't know, though, as I'm not adept at this kind of thing.

hum.. strange.. maybe the antispam machine in b2evolution?

I'm feeling pretty stupid. I had a string in my blog's .htaccess file that is designed to keep away bad robots. After removing that string, I finally got the blogs to import to notes in facebook. Images did not transfer, though. Is that normal?

That said, might anyone know how I could keep the following information in my .htaccess file and not deny the facebook robot with a proper edit?

Finally, I figured out why the images weren't showing in my notes. I had to adjust hotlink protection to include, "feed://...". Thanks for all your help. Something about this conversation sent me to look at my error log, which got me going.

IF you have an answer for my robots denial string, I would appreciate the help, but I can probably figure this one out eventually.

Have a great weekend!

Glad you got it working. Sorry, can't really help on the other bits.
