But why noone says?

Sorry you had trouble finding the app. You are right the new Timeline displays apps in a new way. Thanks for the heads up, I will add an update to this article about where to find the app with the Timeline.
Is it possible to get the whole story from a feed being published and not just a small part of it
The excerpt is the longest display published of the three choices. We use to be able to use notes to auto publish the whole story. To get the whole story you will have to post it manually now.
mmm i dont have search bar in my facebook business page
how could i do this????
You will find search in the blue bar at the top of your Facebook business page.
I have done this but it isn’t posting an image that exists in the blog post as the image on the facebook post. Any idea why?
Yes, Facebook has an Open Graph Protocol. Yoast explains it on his website in this article: Optimising the Facebook Open Graph Protocol. Adding this protocol to your site’s code guides Facebook to making the right choices for titles, photos, excerpts etc. His WordPress SEO plugin has the option to add the optimization to a site by simply checking a box. I personally use his plugin on all the sites I build. WordPress SEO Plugin
Thanq So Much .I search many website but your note get clear me thanq
Glad to help.
Can we customize the rss feeds that are posted to facebook? I mean if we do not want to post all feeds automatically, but some custom feeds only, is that possible?
If you do not want to post feeds automatically, you would need to collect the links and “hand” post them on your page. You could use the Facebook post scheduler feature if you want to do several at a time. How to Schedule Facebook Posts in Advance From Your Page Timeline gives directions on how to do this.
