Importing your Dreamwidth into Facebook
This isn't something I'm doing for myself yet, but I think others might appreciate the tip, as Facebook is wonderful for keeping in touch with friends but not as good at blogging as LJ or DW. However, Facebook has the option to import an external blog feed and automatically post it as a Note.
You are probably going to want to set up the privacy settings first. They can be found here; click the "Edit Settings" link. This will let you specify who on Facebook you'll want to be able to see your posts--it even lets you set up custom groups for this. This could be useful if you don't want your family to see your DW posts, for instance, but would like to show them to some others.
Then, you can go to the external blog import setup and give it one URL. There, you can add the RSS feed to your journal. Only public entries will be fed to your Facebook! Also note that Dreamwidth's default RSS feed setting uses any cuts you make in your entry.
