posting my blog on facebook

i just "shared" my current blog entry on facebook. but when i click on it, it takes me to the DCF homepage, not my blog. and the homepage doesn't even acknowledge my blog entry. how are people on facebook supposed to find my blog?

1. Go to My Page on DCF
2. Open up the entire blog entry you want to share - copy the link AFTER you have opened the blog entry.
3. Open FB Profile, click on attach link on wall post update.
4. Paste link. (You should see your post come up).

(You might want to try this process with different browsers if you don't have any luck the first time. I use Google Chrome).; ▶ Reply to This
