Hi Kelsi,
Thanks for the video. When I go to the fbml page I only get the option to save to page's favourites. It is showing as a box on my page but not in the 'edit my page' section. Can you advise please?

Cathy, I'm not really sure why you wouldn't see “Add to my page” on the fbml page…
But if you already have it as a box on your profile, it must be installed already. Then, I don't know why it wouldn't be in your “Edit Page”. Maybe try to refresh your browser with f5 and look again. I know sometimes it just doesn't come up.
What is your facebook fan page?

Hi Kelsi. Thanks for replying. My fan page is wowfactorhair.
Add my page doesn't show up for me either. I tried it in two different browsers. What gives?
Just to make sure… yall are trying to add this to Facebook Fan pages correct? Mike, you have a Facebook Fan page?

Ok so this is weird. I have just tried again and ‘add to my page’ is there now! I have tried so many times doing exactly the same thing!
Something else that is weird is that I have just tried to log in and it has taken me to a page that is my personal name but not my personal page. This page seemed to be made yesterday when I tried to join groups. It told me that a business couldn’t join a group so I had to put in my real name. I am SO confused by Facebook.
One more thing – do you have any tips on how to get fans? I want to get 25 so that the URL has just my business name after Facebook.
Is it just me or has Facebook got a mind of it’s own.
Sorry to ask so many questions but hopefully it will help other people who must be having the same problems.

No problem at all with the questions Cathy! But i’m glad the add to page link came back.
When you loggin to facebook, make SURE that it is actually a facebook link. Some people try to phish your account. Is this is actually facebook, I have noticed myself in the last few months that facebook has been messing up. Nothing we can really do about it. Facebook surely does have a mind of its own.

Thank you Kelsi.
Thank you Kelsi.
Thanks for the intro. Is there any place to get more detailed info on customisation? FB ‘Help’ is -dreadful-, I must say.
Specifically, I’d like to learn more about how to move the Discography to it’s own tab as I’ve seen on some Band Pages. How is this done? Do they re-create this by hand?
Hey JC!
If you want to learn how to do more things with Facebook, I recommend checking out this link and purchasing the tutorial… http://face-book-tutorials.com/?&aff_id=114983&camp_id=4488
If you want me to show you something in specific, give me your fan page link and an example of what you are trying to do, and maybe I can help you out

[…] and then came across a video posted by Kelsi for SocialWants. The video walked me through the application set-up step-by-step and presto! My problem was solved. Since that time, whenever I run into a social networking issue, […]
thanks for the update
I will check it out
However I am trying to do the following: I have created a Custom Application – but I can’t seem to find any tutorial which allow me to push it Fan page
If you know any way please do let me know
Thanks
For custom applications for a fan page, it is a little different.
Check out the steps found on the page:
http://thinkdiff.net/facebook/develop-customize-facebook-application-for-fan-page/
I hope this is what you were talking about and hope it helps you 🙂
as facebook introduced the new timeline for pages this works slighlty different now. the easiest way is to copy your app’s id and paste it here: http://martinwittmann.at/content/how-add-facebook-apps-page-tabs
this will open a dialog where you can add your app to an existing page.
Â
there’s another way of doing this, but then you’d have to set up a fan page for your app first which is unnecessarily complicated.
btw check that you have set up page tab urls for your app. otherwise you won’t be able to add your app 🙂
