Affordable WordPress Websites - Kim Woodbridge
Last Winter I wrote an article on how to add a share button to your Facebook fan page.
I have since learned that you can make any image or link a share button and this same code can be used on a Facebook fan page and your website.
And once again, when you know the code, it is super easy to implement.
Projects, end of the school year, World Cup 2010 … there is just so much going on for me right now. I seem to get ahead with my posts and then suddenly have no posts and am scrambling to stay on schedule. Well, I don’t usually schedule the Sunday links in advance even though I do tend to have a number of bookmarks ready to go.
This week I have slow living, freelancing, facebook, Dana Carvey and Ralph Macchio.
Enjoy!
Last week I was playing around with some FBML and discovered that it’s really easy to add comments to a custom tab on your Facebook fan page. All you need is the page id and a little block of code.
The most difficult part of this is finding the page ID. It used to be in the page URL but ever since custom names for pages became available it’s a little harder to find. Of course, if you don’t have 25 fans yet or haven’t made a custom URL for your fan page, it will be easier to find the page ID.
I have quite a few new readers who are looking for useful information about Facebook that doesn’t take a PhD to understand. Since they have missed some of the earlier articles, and really who can keep up these days, I’ve decided to round-up my best Facebook articles.
There are some others that are quite good but Facebook decided to rename things and make random changes so often that I would need to write my posts in pencil in order to always be current. If you are interested in all of the articles, you can find them in the Facebook category.
Like with many things in life, you can get people to do things that you want them to by offering an incentive. Any parent knows how to use positive reinforcement with their children – “once you finish your homework, you can watch a show on television”.
And the same works when you want to get more fans on your Facebook page – offer the visitor a deal or some content that is only available to fans.
This can be done with an fbml tag called visible to connection.
