I added the Facebook instant article to my blog, which is a Blogger site. However, everytime Facebook pulls feeds from my RSS feed, its markup is completely wrong and I have to rearrange it every time.
For example,
Here is one article pulled from RSS -
And this is how my preferred markup is -
How can I fix this and set this preferred markup as default?

When I post as my Facebook page persona, chronoglimpse, I don't want my own name to appear at the bottom in the news feed.
I've searched through Facebook's docs but I have had no luck finding an answer. Can adding my name be turned off?

I think Facebook is grabbing this information from the meta tags on the shared link:
Every time I copy a link from popular news channels like TNW, Engadget, etc. I have a very nice sharing view (with a thumbnail that I may select, a bold title, and a short summary).
When I do the same with an article from my website, it does not look as nice.
How can I customize how my Facebook share will look?
You need to embed the Open Graph (OG) meta tags into your page to give the facebook page scraper a chance

EDIT
the facebook debug tool should help interpret what is being read
On my website, I just added links to discuss posts on Facebook; you can see such a link at http://jonathanscorner.com/steel/ . The link redirects to https://www.facebook.com/pages/CJS-Hayward/9506801167, which lets people post but is initially empty.
I would like, if possible, to create a link that prepopulates the text of the comment to include the title and URL on my site. So someone who clicked on that link would have a posting that is prepopulated, '''I just finished "Within the Steel Orb" at http://JonathansCorner.com/steel/. '''
Is there some URL parameter I can use ('''...?text=I%20just%20finished...''') or other interface to prepopulate a comment in a JavaScript-generated link?
Thanks,
Short answer, you can't. Even with the feed dialog you can't prepopulate the comment area with some pre-defined text. What you can do is, using the feed dialog making people write their comments, and the connection of that feed redirects to your website.
The only problem is that this feed dialog would appear on the users feed an not on your page wall.
Another way, and this is the best option in my opinion, add the comments social plugin to your site, this way people would discuss that article on your page and every time they comment using this social plugin, the comments would appear on their facebook wall making their friends curious about that and maybe visit your site.
You can read more about that here: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/comments/
Problem: I want to display the posts from my facebook page on a PHP page.[When there is a new post on the facebook page, my PHP page should also render the same]
Way1: If there is a way to get a RSS feed of the facebook page i can parse the RSS and display it in the PHP page. But i am not able to find a way to get the RSS feed.
Way2:Another way is to use FB Api. But what API can i use? Never worked with facebook API's so any help would be great.
Any other way to solve the problem is welcome!
Facebook has a universal page RSS feed:
https://facebook.com/feeds/page.php?id=PAGE_ID_HERE&format=rss20
You may simply retrieve and sanitize the data accordingly.
Good luck!
That doesn't seem to work for me (perhaps it's a privacy settings thing?) If you want everything on your wall (not just your own status posts, go to your notifications page and select RSS at the top where you have the options of getting either Text Message alerts or an RSS feed of what's on your wall.
Step 1:
Find your Facebook ID of the page:
http://findmyfacebookid.com/
Step 2:
Add the ID at the end of following url string
http://www.facebook.com/feeds/page.php?format=rss20&id="ADD HERE ID NUMBER ONLY"
e.g.
facebook.com/feeds/page.php?format=rss20&id=100001463662167
I have created a page and I would like users to be able to subscribe using rss (similarly as twitter). The only possibility I see is a subscription to notes, not the wall. Any ides how this can be done?
There is no RSS feed for Profile Walls due to the complexity, permissions and the amount of posts to walls.
There is only RSS for notes:
Example:
http://www.facebook.com/feeds/notes.php?id={target_user_id}&viewer={viewer}key={key}&format=rss20
This works for personal pages, but I don't think it works on other pages: To get everything on your wall (not just your own status posts), go to your notifications page and select RSS at the top where you have the options of getting either Text Message alerts or an RSS feed of what's on your wall.
For every page on facebook the RSS url is:
https://www.facebook.com/feeds/page.php?format=rss20&id=xxxxxxx
Where xxxxxxx is the page id. for example the ID for ubuntu page is 6723083591. so
https://www.facebook.com/feeds/page.php?format=rss20&id=6723083591
is the RSS feed to that page.
mauris answer while may have been valid in '09 it is possible to get the page feed :-)
