How to add facebook feed to your website

Assalam o Alaikum Everyone,

We have updated our facebook feed outlook and feel on our website and on this blog.
To view activity feed on facebook, click the link below:


If you are interested in building your own website and want to understand how it works, read on..

We can embed facebook posts/ feed on websites through embed tools.

Embed tools are available from facebook developers forum as well as other external developers. Facebook's own tools are free. External ones are a mix of free and paid ones. Free ones usually come with branding.


We were initially using POWe embed tool which worked fine initially and had a good impressive layout. 
However, recently, without any trigger or notice, it switched to feed for another facebook page. I found this with a great surprise.

I have accordingly now moved to embed through www.feederninja.com.
It is a free tool.. and is beautiful indeed.

Facebook developers tool is also free but look pretty old style with maximum container width fixed to 500 (even if you right 5000 as width in your code :)  ).

Therefore, feeder ninja is my choice.

The process to use this for your feed is really simple.

- You are required to have your own facebook page (you will need its URL to generate feed)
- Go to www.feederninja.com website and click 'generate':


- Some social media icons will appear on your screen.
- Select facebook and enter URL for your page
- You can customize your feed.
- Before you can generate an HTML code, you will be required to create login
- Create login and verify
- You can now get HTML code for your feed. Don't forget that you can still edit it (and change the height of feed container if you like.. 1000 or 1500 px may be suitable)
- Go to your website builder (weebly, blogger.com, wordpress etc.) and embed HTML through embed options available.

Here you go.
It is a beautiful feed with only a little diagonal strip at lower right corner mentioning that it is from feeder ninja.

The layout is so beautiful that you would naturally love to share it with others as I am doing now.

Don't forget to visit Australian Islamic Library.
Happy reading.

Kind Regards,
Nabeel
