if you have a Facebook Fan Page, read this

Back at the end of 2009, Facebook made an announcement that they would eventually be changing the width allowed on a Fan Page from 760 pixels to 520 pixels. The wait is over. The changes are rolling out today.

If you haven’t created any of your own tabs, you won’t be affected. (and if you don’t have any custom pages created yet, we need to talk. {CLICK} You’re leaving money on the table darlin’ and we can’t have that.)

This will be a fairly easy fix as long as you know HTML and a bit about FBML (Facebook Markup Language). But, what if you don’t know much about changing your FBML pages?

Don’t worry, there’s a couple of options:

1. Head into war by arming yourself with a great tutorial on FBML by Hyperarts.

2. If you need a little extra hand holding, you can buy a guide session. One hour on the phone with me or Tony (your choice!) and we’ll walk you through the process. The bonus to buying a guide session is that you can ask as many questions as you can fit into that hour.

Buy your Guide Session:

3. Hire our social media dude, Tony to do a quick fix-up on your page. There are a few things you’ll need to know about this option:

The cost is out of this world. $50 fixes the nightmare.

The price includes updating the width of your FBML pages on one fan page. You can edit the quantity if you have more than one page. If you need more assistance, you can buy a guide session (see above) or buy a more comprehensive Fan Page package. {send me an email}

Get on Tony’s schedule:

Here’s the fine print that’s good for you:

1. If you purchase a fix or a guide session and we can’t help you, you’ll receive a refund.

2. It’s also important to note that *some* people have pages that are going to take much much more work to complete the changeover. If you fit into that category, we’ll refund your money and go over everything that needs to be updated for you.

3. This is first come, first serve. And our calendar fills up fast. Which means if you want people to see your page properly (remember, the changes start to roll out TODAY) you’ll need to buy quickly.

While you’re lurking around, here’s some cool things you can do with your Fan Page!

1. Did you know that you can offer FAN ONLY content? That’s right. People have to like your page and be signed into their account in order to see whatever information you put between the fancy code below. This is a cool idea to offer new content, coupon codes, or anything else you want.

Here’s the code. Add it to your FBML page and you’re set.

<fb:fbml version="1.1">
<fb:visible-to-connection>
Fans will see this content.
<fb:else>Non-fans will see this content.</fb:else>
</fb:visible-to-connection>
</fb:fbml>


2. If you’d like to show random text, you can do it using this tidbit of code:


<fb:random>
<fb:random-option weight=”2″>A: This will be shown 2 times as often as B.</fb:random-option>
<fb:random-option weight=”1″>B: This will be show half as often as A</fb:random-option>
</fb:random>
