I recently received a number of messages from Blogger (Blogspot) users asking for help in uploading sample articles for Facebook Instant Articles. Bloggers are required to provide at least five sample articles before they can submit their application to publish Instant Articles. Below are two methods for doing it.
Submitting articles manually
If you want to quickly submit your sample articles, below is a basic template that you can use. You can always add advanced elements, such as ads and analytics, later on after your application is approved.
<!doctype html>
<html lang="en" prefix="op: http://media.facebook.com/op#">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<link rel="canonical" href="POST URL">
</head>
<body>
<article>
<header>
<h1>POST TITLE</h1>
<address>AUTHOR</address>
<time class="op-published" datetime="YYYY-MM-DD"></time>
</header>
<figure><img src="IMAGE URL"></figure>
<p>PARAGRAPH 1, 2, 3, etc.</p>
</article>
</body>
</html>
Submitting articles via RSS
Another way to submit your articles is by linking your blog's built-in RSS feed (yourblog.blogspot.com/rss.xml) to Instant Articles. However, the output may need some editing.
