How I Made a Facebook Landing Page

Go check out the awesomeness of my Facebook Fan Page. Seriously. I dare you.

I bet you totally want to learn to do it right? Right!

Now there are plenty of other tutorials out there but generally, I’m not fond of them. Overall they suggest creating a single boring graphic, it doesn’t help you link to your other outlets like [twitter] for example. A graphic is PRETTY but I’m all about connecting with links.

Now, I am going to assume you already have a facebook fan page (and you really should go and make a vanity URL just make sure 25 people are “liking” you!).

How to add the Static FBML application to your page

• Make sure you are logged into facebook
• Go to the Static FBML page
• Click “Add to my Page”
  
• A lovely window should pop up with all the pages you are an Admin of. Click “Add to Page” next to the page you want to make awesome.
• Go to your FB fan page and click “Edit Page”
  
• Go down to the Applications section until you see the FBML area
  
• Change the box title to something short and sweet.Put all of your glorious HTML into the box.
  
• Go to your FB fan page and click “Edit Page”
  
• Go down to the Applications section until you see the FBML area and click “Application Settings”
  
• A box will pop up asking if you want this new “page” to be a box or tab. We want it to be a tab.
  
• Look, you have a new tab! Click it and make sure your HTML is correct, everything looks and works the way you want it, etc.
  
• Now, we want to make this new tab the FIRST thing a new visitor will see, and hopefully they will be so amazed by your awesome creativity that they will “like” you!
  Go to your FB fan page and click “Edit Page”
  
• Go down to under and click “Edit” under the wall settings
  
• There’s a ton of settings but the only one we care about right now is “Default Landing Tab”
  

I know it looks like a lot of steps but really, it’s quite easy! The hard part is figuring out what you WANT on your landing page!
