It’s a good safety measure to not be the ONLY person controlling your company or organization’s Facebook page. You just never know what might happen, and if nobody else is an admin, it can cause a lot of problems if others are unable to access the page in an emergency. Here I show you how [...]
How to place a Paypal “Donate” button on your Facebook Page
UPDATE March 2011: This process has changed. Facebook no longer supports FBML, which was how we created the button interface in the past. If you already have FBML installed on your Facebook page, you’re good to go–you can continue on with this tutorial, as Facebook will continue to support FBML indefinitely. You just can’t do [...]
How to display your Facebook Page posts in Chronological Order
Since Facebook rolled out a ton of new changes for Pages last month, many of you have been asking me why the posts on your page (from yourself and from fans) aren’t displaying in chronological order–like most recent posts first (which seems logical!). When Facebook initially rolled out these changes for Facebook (February 10), you [...]
Facebook Announces New Changes to Pages; Interact on Facebook “as” Your Page!
I’m SUPER EXCITED about the new features Facebook is rolling out for Pages!!! You now have the flexibility to interact with the other areas of Facebook as a page. Get notifications when fans interact with your page or posts. “Like” other pages and feature them on your page! Make comments as your page on other pages. There are also some new settings for photos, so watch the video!
Inviting Fans and Friends to a Facebook Event
Can you invite fans of your page to a Facebook event, even if they aren’t your “Friends?”
How to Remove Facebook Games (Farmville, Mafia Wars, etc.) From Your Facebook Feed
Your friends may place games on Facebook like Farmville, Cafe World, Mafia Wars, etc. on Facebook, but maybe you’re not interested. If the notifications from these games are cluttering up your Facebook news feed, it’s easy to remove them without “unfriending” the people who play the games! Watch this video to learn how.
Facebook Launches New “Places” Feature; Boon for Local Businesses But Scary for Privacy?
Facebook today launched a new dimension to their already mammoth presence on the web. This will have huge implications for your privacy on Facebook, but also presents new opportunities for your organization.
First: DON’T PANIC. I’ll walk you through this!
It’s called “Places” and they call it a “product.” It will automatically be available to you as a Facebook user (no charge, of course), just like Groups, Pages, Apps, Games, etc. currently are.
This is going to work in very much the same way as tagging photos. Except instead of tagging you in a photo, friends can tag you at a location.
So if you’re my friend, and you are there with me at that restaurant, and you decide that you’d rather not have all your Facebook friends know you were there, you don’t have to allow the checkin. It’s that simple.

She wrote: “I just added a Paypal Donate Button to our Facebook page thank to your tutorial! I was curious to know your thoughts on adding the petfinder code for [...]
