Danielle Zack has written a great post that talks about how to really build your business with social media.

My wife Christina was almost 39 weeks pregnant with our 3rd daughter when she was starting to have contractions and feeling very uncomfortable. On top of that she had bronchitis and a root canal done on December 31st, so she was not a very happy camper!
On Sunday, January 3, 2010 I had to bring Christina to the hospital because of consistent contractions and when we got there her blood pressure was elevated. The contractions eventually spaced out and her BP got back to normal so they sent her home.
Then on Tuesday, January 5, 2010 the contractions came back again and we went to the hospital to get monitored. Her BP was ok this time and they said that she was probably in pre-labor but nothing serious yet. So once again they sent us home!
Then I got a call about 3 hours later from her OB/GYN saying that she wants to induce Christina tomorrow and the hospital will be calling us to set up a time to come in.
Needless to say I was up late that night doing some Tribe Syndication and working on a few videos so I ended up going to bed around 2AM. Of course the hospital calls me a 4AM telling us to be at the hospital at 5:30AM!
Well, with only 2 hours of sleep I got us to the hospital safely and they started inducing Christina about 6:30AM and Paige Lynn Feil was born at 1:21 PM on 1/6/2010. She was 7 lbs. 6 oz. and 20 inches long.
The birth went very well and everyone is happy! Although I’ve been through this 2 other times it still gets me every time! I am filled with happiness and joy that God has blessed us with another healthy girl and that the miracle of life is an awesome thing to witness and be a part of.
Below are some pictures of Paige and her sisters.

Facebook Fan Pages can help grow your business tremendously…if you use them the right way. Many people don’t know how customizable fan pages can be. There is so much you can do with them…you just need to be creative.
Today I’m going to show you an application that you can use to set up a customizable “Welcome” tab and an “About Me” tab. These are just two of the possibilities that you can do with this application. You can make other tabs that are related to your niche, company, product, etc. The possibilities are endless with this application!
To get an idea of what I mean Click Here For My Facebook Welcome Tab.
This application is called Static FBML.
Most web pages are built with HTML code which stands for Hyper Text Markup Language. Facebook has its own version of HTML called FBML (FaceBook Markup Language). Most of the code is the same but there is some specific code changes when it comes to showing a YouTube video.
A normal YouTube embedded with HTML code would look like this….
<object width=”425″ height=”344″><param name=”movie” value=”http://www.youtube.com/v/BIX13I9uHi8&hl=en_US&fs=1&”></param><param name=”allowFullScreen” value=”true”></param><param name=”allowscriptaccess” value=”always”></param><embed src=”http://www.youtube.com/v/BIX13I9uHi8&hl=en_US&fs=1&” type=”application/x-shockwave-flash” allowscriptaccess=”always” allowfullscreen=”true” width=”425″ height=”344″></embed></object>
A video that a is going to go into a tab that is created with Static FBML will look like this…
<center><p align=”center”><fb:swf swfbgcolor=”000000″ imgstyle=”border-width:3px; border-color:white;”
swfsrc=’http://www.youtube.com/v/5JAIhNszaeE‘
imgsrc=’http://img.youtube.com/vi/5JAIhNszaeE/1.jpg’
width=’340′ height=’270′ /></p></center>
When building your Static FBML page and inserting a YouTube video you can use the above code but just take out the red text and put in your link to your video.
Most of the other code is standard HTML code. If you are not sure about how to build a page using html code you can use Windows Live Writer which is a free program that you can use to convert WYSIWYG to HTML.
If you’re interested in learning more about HTML and building web pages I use a great program that is very easy to use called XSite Pro and you can get more information about it at http://www.xisteprolearning.com.
Check out this video that will walk you through getting Static FBML up and running on your Fan Page…
If you are still clueless how to make a custom tab on your Fanpage after reading this post and viewing the video then you’re not the sharpest tool in the shed!
Awww, I’m just kiddin’! This is actually really technical stuff and some very advanced Facebook techniques so if you are really having problems with this I can custom make one for you.
