RSS Feed for Facebook Pages

I noticed that Facebook Pages no longer (or did they ever?) have the RSS feed readily available in the browser. Sometimes I’ll need the feed to pop into a WordPress plugin like Better RSS Widget to display recent Facebook posts.  To get this feed, just follow these steps:

1. Go to the Facebook page and copy the ID number for the page that shows up in the address bar.
http://www.facebook.com/pages/Westwords-Consulting-LLC/254015625353

2. Paste that number into this URL: http://www.facebook.com/feeds/page.php?format=rss20&id=xxxxxxxxxxxx

So for this example it would be: http://www.facebook.com/feeds/page.php?format=rss20&id=254015625353

You can also get an Atom feed: http://www.facebook.com/feeds/page.php?format=atom10&id=254015625353
