Hashtags are the Pound signs (#) plus a word phrase that follows social medias updates and are click-able, exactly like a link. Did you know they are very useful for your updates and blog posts?
Twitter was the first known social media to introduce Hash tags, which when clicked, would lead the user to other tweets that have the same hash tags in them. For example, (#EasyMadeBlog). Now tell me, can you click on any ordinary character like that? Twitter made hash tags a way to join or search for a conversation. Did you know that other social medias like Facebook now use it?
Have you ever seen some blog posts on my Facebook timeline that display with Hashtags? Now, why do I use it?
If you've not created any feed on Feedburner before, you can follow these steps:
Step 4 >>> You'd be asked to select one option for the type of feed you want, just leave it as default and click on next as seen below:

What are the uses of Hashtags?
Search or read more conversation on a particular topic
Compile tips or facts related to my blog niche
Most of the hashtags you'd find on my wall are strictly based on the blog's niche. It really showcases my niche, even I don't tell anyone. It's just like a niche branding
I don't really want to talk too much about the benefits of hashtags because this post is not really concerned about that. So let's move on to how you can auto use it in your feeds.
What are feeds?
Your blog posts are basically your feeds. There are so many tools for bloggers to auto post their blog post (called feeds) to social networks. Just to mention few are Twitterfeeds and HootSuite.
But did you know you can auto post your feeds alongside with Hashtags? It is really possible with Feedburner by Google. And thus is what you're here to know.
Getting started with the auto use of hashtags:
If you've not created any feed on Feedburner before, you can follow these steps:
Step 1 >>> Go to feedburner.com
Step 2 >>> Feedburner is owned by Google. So, you need to sign in with your Google account (Gmail and password)
Step 3 >>> On the landing page, type your blog's address in the box provided. See screenshot below:
Step 4 >>> You'd be asked to select one option for the type of feed you want, just leave it as default and click on next as seen below:
Step 5 >>> After your feed is successfully created, click on the publicize button at the top menu bar, then click on socialize as seen below:
Step 6 >>> A new window where you can configure how you want your feeds to be published displays. Click on each feature and see the preview box at the bottom to preview your actions.
Step 7 >>> Click on the "Hash Tag" menu, and select "choose hashtags from categories." Check the small box below it to preview your changes, and select your choice.
That is how I made each of my blog posts to appear on Twitter with Hashtags.
To now make it also on Facebook,
You need to link your Twitter to Facebook. After successful linking, check your Facebook wall to confirm if it's working.
Do let me know of this works for you via comments. And if you have any question regarding this, use the comment box below.
