facebook fan pages

Add "Pages" section to my Facebook About profile page?

Category: Facebook Help

I administer a number of different fan pages on Facebook and noticed that while one of the other administrators had a "Pages" section on their About profile page on Facebook, I do not. But I can't see any way when I'm editing my profile to actually include that information. What am I missing?

Create a secret group in Facebook?

Category: Facebook Help

My buddies and I are planning a bachelor party and we want to use Facebook, but want to ensure that Leon doesn't get wind of it or of our planning. Can we create a group on Facebook that can't be found if someone examines my profile or searches for the group?

RSS Graffiti can't publish my feed: "missing publication date"?

This is super frustrating, Dave! I just hooked up the RSS feed from my WordPress blog to show up automatically in my Facebook fan page using the slick RSS Graffiti application. Problem is, nothing ever shows up and I see the error Missing publication date in 10 items in your feed. What the heck? How do I fix it?

How do I add a Facebook "like" button to my blog?

Category: Facebook Help

I'm getting more into Facebook now that it has so many darn users and would like to have the people who visit my Web site and blog become fans of my Facebook page too. I have seen on some sites - yours included - that there's a nifty little Facebook box that makes it easy to "like" your Facebook page. How do I add that for my own site?

How do I unfan / unlike a page, product or service on Facebook?

Category: Facebook Help

I don't know why I hadn't realized it before, but every time I've clicked "like" on a Facebook page or fan page, it's not only comunicated to my friends, but it's recorded as part of my account forever. Yikes! There are some I clicked on when I was just starting on Facebook that I really don't want to have associated with my account any more. How do I unlike, unfriend, unfan - whatever the word is - these Facebook pages??

How do I add a Facebook "like" box to my blog?

I've been inspired by your Facebook fan page, Dave, and have one of my own. Now that I have it, though, I'd like to be able to inclue a "like" box on my blog so that people not only see a link to the fan page, but see a few members, etc. I have seen it done on other blogs but can't figure out what they did. Is it a Wordpress plugin?

How Can I Comment On My Facebook Fan Page As Myself?

Category: Facebook Help

We have two admins to a fan page (for a mothers of twins club) and were wondering how we could comment on our fan page as ourselves and not as the page admin? Every once in a while it would be better for us to interject a comment as ourselves versus the admin. How can you choose what profile you comment under?

I run a Facebook group and am considering switching it to a Facebook fan page, but I don't think it'll address my basic problem: how do I make a Facebook group or fan page interesting and lively to my online community?
