How to Link to Your Facebook Fan Page from Your Profile Page

Please note: This information will soon be outdated by changes that Facebook will be making to boxes and the boxes tab. Please read my new article Upcoming Facebook Changes to Boxes and the Box Tab that Will Impact Your Custom Fan Pages.

My friend Rick Morgan and apparently many searchers finding this site have asked how you can link to your Facebook Fan page from your Facebook profile. And until Rick asked me about this it didn’t even occur to me to create such a link but, of course, it’s an excellent idea.

Well, the short answer is that Facebook DOES NOT provide a direct way of doing this. This does not mean, however, that it can’t be done. It will require the use of a particular application and a teeny bit of html.

How to Create a Custom Facebook Fan Page

Update 2/17/11: After March 11, 2011 the Static FBML application will no longer be available. It will continue to work on existing custom tabs but all new tabs will need to be created with Iframes. Please see my tutorial on how to create a custom Facebook page tab with Iframes.

It has accidentally become Facebook week. I did not plan this and originally was only going to use the post I wrote on Monday about not integrating Twitter and Facebook. But then a question in the comments inspired me to write the tutorial for deleting and editing Facebook applications. So, today I will round it off with information on Facebook fan pages.

I recently created a Facebook fan page for this website and my business. Prior to this I was sending business information through my personal Facebook page. While I still do this with my blog posts, my personal page contains too much goofiness, like links to new Monkey Island videos, to be considered professional. The fan page contains some of articles, reviews of my work and links of interest about WordPress and freelancing.

I learned quite a bit about Facebook while making the fan page and discovered some applications that are really useful.

How to Edit and Delete Facebook Applications

Note 2/20/10: Since the last Facebook update there is no longer a toolbar at the bottom of the screen. To edit and delete Facebook applications, go to the top right – Account > Application Settings.

On Monday I discussed why every Twitter update should not be integrated with your Facebook status.

In the comments someone asked how to turn this off. This raised one of my main issues with Facebook – using it is unintuitive. I’ve spent quite a bit of time with Facebook recently and I still get tripped up. It’s almost as if once you install an application you aren’t ever supposed to remove it or change the settings.

So, here’s a quick tutorial for edit and deleting Facebook applications.

Random WordPress Quotes Without A Plugin

Last month as part of my (Anti) Social spring cleaning, I added new testimonials and added a big block of them to the sidebar on certain parts of my site.

Ajith noted that they were a duplication of the testimonials on the portfolio page, so I used is_page conditonally so they didn’t show up on the portfolio page.

I was never really happy with the way that they looked, even though I kept playing with the style. I decided what I wanted to do was have random testimonial quotes display in the header the way that my last tweet on twitter shows up in the header on the blog part of my site.
