how to: edit your facebook landing page

so, i've been working on my facebook page quite a bit, hence all the posts on facebook. i created a custom landing page on pagemodo, which i have reviewed in this post HERE .

first, click on the "edit page" button in the upper right-hand corner of the page. it looks like this:

next, click on the "manage permissions" option on the left sidebar. then look in the middle of the page for the "default landing tab" setting. click on the drop down menu and select the name of your preferred landing tab, then hit save.

TA-DA!

you now have a totally set up facebook landing page.

write up: pagemodo

if you've liked a well-rounded variety of facebook pages, then you might have stumbled across a welcome page at some point. like some pre-made page with images and whatever. well, i checked into one big site that creates these with ease called pagemodo. pagemodo is basically a simple site where you can create custom facebook pages for free! they do have additional features in the pro package, but i didn't think that the features were worth upgrading for.

overall, this site was awesome and very quick and easy to use! it took only 20 minutes for me to have a custom landing page for my facebook page....YES!

side note: i had a WHOLE lot of trouble figuring out how to set the tab as my landing page....check out my other post on this topic!

how to : editing your facebook page's URL

okay, so recently i had some trouble. my facebook page's URL was yucky. and i mean YUCK-Y! it wasn't only ugly though...it was kinda a bother. whenever someone needed a link to my facebook page, i'd have to run off and find what the link was. the link was something like www.facebook.com/124873948729/pages/#/graciesdesigns.


YUCK, big time! this is just kinda a downer, not to mention it looks very unprofessional! to get rid of this, you have to:

• go to www.facebook.com/username/
• click on the page you want to change
•  in the little box that appears type what you want to go on the end. for example, if you want it to be www.facebook.com/awesomestore then you'd put awesomestore in the box!

it's a super easy solution to an annoying little problem. so, to sum it up,

before: www.facebook.com/124873948729/pages/#/graciesdesigns

after: www.facebook.com/graciesdesigns

HOORAY!
