I've tried to locate/identify my Facebook status feed using the guidelines in the HEIDI Developer Portal posts ("Broadcast your Facebook status in Drupal" and "Subscribe to New Facebook Feeds") but with no success. I just can't seem to figure out what the feed URL is supposed to look like!

If I know myself well enough, it's probably easier than I think - but I still need some help!

Did you follow the instructions at the http://heidisoft.com/blogs/subscribe-new-facebook-feeds

You must login to the Facebook, before you follow the instructions.

Yes, but those instructions were for notifications, not ny own status feed.

I managed to fix it, though, by having my wife create a list whith me as the only member, and then creating an RSS feed for my statuses.

I found this fix on Wesblog and I'll take the liberty of posting it here:

Step 1: Have your friend log into Facebook.

Step 2: Have your friend click the [friends] tab.

Step 3: Have your friend click the [make a new list] button in top of the left grey column.

Step 4: Have your friend name the list whatever you want. It doesn’t matter.

Step 5: Have your friend add your name to the new list.

Step 6: Have your friend click the [status updates] link at the top of the center column.

Step 7: Have your friend click the [friends' status feed] link at the bottom of the left grey column.

The page your friend is looking at is an RSS feed that contains only your status updates.

The feed URL is based on two things: The id of the FB-user who created the list and the id of the list ("flid"). There are therefore no possibilities to use one feed URL to create another feed. But I still think there's a point to illustrate how the feed looks, so below, you'll find my FB status feed URL:

http://www.facebook.com/feeds/friends_status.php?id=643443510&key=9fedd46a75&format=rss20&flid=77515858510

Now all of you can get regular updates on my status! ;)

I get a

"Error 403: Forbidden

you don't have permissions to access this page. This usually means one of the following:

this file and directory permissions make them unavailable from the Internet.
.htaccess contains instructions that prevent public access to this file or directory.

Please check file and directory permissions and .htaccess configuration if you are able to do this. Otherwise, request your webmaster to grant you access."

on saving my activity stream settings after I add the Facebook status feed url.
