More Facebook Tips

When you are inside Facebook, you can leave a link to your Facebook fan page by placing "@" before the actual page name (not the username). For instance, the name of my fan page is Faerie Fabulous Finds and my username is faefabfinds.

To use the shortcut, which is the same as tagging a personal friend, I would type "@Faerie Fabulous Finds" without a space between @ and the first F, but including the rest of the spaces.

For those who don't have 25 fans yet, here's an app you can use to get a username immediately:

Your URL will look like this: http://www.fbook.me/faefabfinds

Faerie hugz,

Kat

All the step-by-step instructions are in my first post, but you will need 3 more fans (as of this minute) before you can get your Fan Page Username (it was 4, but now I am a fan!): http://www.mycraftcorner.com/group/facebookfanpagers/forum/topics/g...

Just go slowly and good luck!

Unless you're one of those kids who are born nowadays coming straight from the womb already texting with an iPod glued to their cranium, you're in the same boat as the rest of us. We have to be content knowing we may be the Turtles, but slowly and steadily we'll still get to the end result!
