Making A Custom Tab For Your Facebook Fan Page

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.
