How to Create a Facebook Page for Your Blog (2026 Guide)
Do you know how to create a Facebook page for your blog? Facebook is still the world’s largest social network, with over 3 billion monthly users, and many readers find blogs through shares in their feed and groups. A Facebook Page gives your blog its own public presence, separate from your personal profile, where readers can follow, comment and share. Here is how to create a Facebook page for your blog in 2026 and get your first followers.
Quick answer: Log in to Facebook, open Menu > Pages > Create new Page (or go to facebook.com/pages/create), enter your blog name, choose a category such as “Blogger” or “Personal blog”, add a bio, profile picture and cover photo, add your website link and a Follow or Visit Website button, then invite friends and share your best posts.

Why your blog needs a Facebook Page
- Readers can follow your blog without visiting it every day.
- Shares by followers bring new visitors from their friends and groups.
- You get Meta insights about who your audience is.
- You can run inexpensive ads to promote your best posts later.
How to create a Facebook Page for your blog
- Open Create Page: on desktop click Menu > Pages > Create new Page; in the app tap the menu, then Pages and the + button.
- Page name: use your exact blog name so readers can find it.
- Category: type “Blogger”, “Personal blog” or your niche, such as “Food and beverage”.
- Bio: one or two sentences on what your blog covers and who it helps.
- Profile picture: your logo or a clear photo of you. It displays as a circle, so keep important details in the centre.
- Cover photo: a branded banner. See the right Facebook cover photo size.
- Contact and website: add your blog URL and email.
- Action button: add “Follow”, “Visit website” or “Send message”.
- Click Create Page and switch into your Page to start posting.
Set up your Page properly
- Username: claim a short @username so your Page has a clean link like facebook.com/yourblog.
- Admins: add a trusted second admin so you never lose access.
- Two-factor authentication: turn it on for every admin account.
- Name changes: if your blog is renamed, here is how to change a Facebook Page name.
Connect your blog and your Facebook Page
- Add a Facebook follow link or icon to your blog header or footer.
- Auto-share new posts with a tool like Jetpack Social or Buffer, then add a personal comment.
- Use Meta Business Suite to schedule posts and check insights.
- Let readers comment with Facebook if you like. See how to add Facebook comments to WordPress.
How to get your first followers
- Invite friends who are interested in your topic, not everyone.
- Post regularly: your new articles, behind-the-scenes photos, questions and short videos or Reels.
- Reply to every comment quickly.
- Share helpful posts in relevant groups where the rules allow it.
- Pin your best post to the top of the Page.
FAQ
Is a Facebook Page free?
Yes. Creating and posting on a Page is free. Ads are optional and paid.
Should I use a Page or my personal profile?
Use a Page for your blog. It keeps your private life separate and gives you insights and ad tools. Facebook’s “professional mode” on profiles is an option for creators who prefer one account.
How often should I post?
Three to five times a week is a good start. Quality matters more than quantity.

Thank you so much! I was looking for something that would show it to me in a way I could follow it. Will do it tonight!
Thanks. This post just saved me a lot of time. Your step by step guide is perfect.
Great info, I will be setting up a facebook page using this guide thanks
I’ve already done this easy part, now for the difficult one. I wish to create a page that shows a bright images that induces clicks on the Like button. Once the user clicks Like, I want him to be redirected to another page. Can anyone help in this?
I will be adding a facebook page for a couple of sites, as i am not a facebook enthusiast reading your step by steps makes it much simpler – especially the RSS info.
Thanks.
Thank you – this was really helpful. I’ve been meaning to do this for ages and just did it really quickly! Thanks
Possibly I’m just dense, but I can’t find any place on the page that says Notes. Did Facebook change this, or am I just blind?
Is there a way to configure Facebook to grab an excerpt that you define for a particular WordPress post? Instead of just grabbing the first 100 or something words from the blog and posting it on the Facebook Wall? I would like it to look cleaner.
Thanks for sharing tutorial “Create Facebook Page For “Your Blog
Help – how do you set it so it only imports a portion of your feed. Is it a Facebook setting or a Feed setting? Also, I am trying to add the like to my blog, but can’t located a Page Name to edit so that I don’t get a box for platform.
Thanks!
Many thanks for this clear and concise guidance. Using this, I set up a Facebook page in 2 minutes. Brilliant!
I cannot find the “Notes” section. Can you please help. Did Facebook change?
Thank you SO much for this clear and concise, step-by-step tutorial.
You are a genius!

Hello Dee, thanks for your post.I was amazed at how easy it was to set up. Up until now I have been uploading my posts using the attachment link on the wall. Using your directions I have one less daily job to do. Thanks again David
Thanks for these wonderful tips, just did it and its working perfectly, but it also got me wondering if there’s a way that i can also automatically import posts from my facebook page to my blog, you know, kinda do the reverse of what you have explained so that both my blog and my facebook page are able to automatically update each other?
Any idea how to get Facebook to keep updating after the initial import? Hasn’t been working for months.
It works on Profiles, but not on Pages.
someone please tell us how to get facebook to keep updating?
Very informative post! i was wondering if you guys have tried adding “boxes” which it looks like it lets you add plain html code on ur fb page?
@Matt
I have it set up to just show an excerpt of the post so they still have to visit my site to see the whole post.
I wish I had seen this post a few days ago. I stubled through the procress and got the feed setup from my blog(startawordpressblog.com) but I am not sure I did it 100% correct as I went through “set up a business”. Now I need to go back and compare what I did to this post. Thanks for the detailed post and screen shots.
Who ever knew it was so easy? I’ve had a fan page for months, but thought it took a special app to import blog posts and have been doing it manually. Now I can spend that time adding other updates and content to the fan page instead.
Just took care of it once and for all in 10 seconds.
Great tip!
I don’t have a website, I don’t even have the beginning of my blog! Help! I would love to see yours! I am really unsure as to what a blog is? I think it’s where you can put your thoughts, or interests, and if other people see your blog (and I don’t know how they would) they can comment on it, or make suggestions, or simply, just show their interest in what I’m writing. Am I write so far? Now the question is . . . where do I begin? I have read a lot so far, but I am still confused. Any help out there for me?
This is a really useful tip…and I’ve been intending to create a fan page for my blog for a while (I’m using Networked Blogs to promote my blog on Facebook for now).
The only issue I have, or rather, a question…if you set to import your blog posts to the Notes for your Fan page…won’t that remove traffic to your blog? The users will be reading it on Facebook…and commenting on the note…on Facebook. Not on your blog.
If the full article is being imported in your page definitely what you think will happen.
I think it’s just the excerpts that will be displayed there, like sharing it to facebook thing. Im not really sure though but that’s what i feel.
Cheers
