FirstFrame1 300x225 Static FBML Introduction Video Facebook’s App Static FBML is pure awesome sauce. With it you can add pure html to a custom named tab. Also you are able to make the tab the first thing they view when they click on your fan page! How cool is that?

Adding such a tab is easy at adding the Static FBML application, editing it, and then adding it as a tab. In the video, I said I’ll show you how to make it the first thing anyone views on your page … but I messed that up and couldn’t find it in the heat of the moment. Right below the video I added the steps on how to make the page the first thing viewers see!

In the video I talk about:

  • Adding FBML to your page
  • Editing FBML
  • Adding your Aweber optin code
  • Quick html things in static FBML

Enjoy the video introduction to Static FBML!

To set the Static FBML tab as the primary tab, follow these quick steps:

  1. Click over to “Edit Page”, thus you’ll be at your pages settings.
  2. Under “Wall Settings”, the 2nd option from the top, click “Edit”.
  3. Change “Default Landing Tab for Everyone Else:” to your Static FBML’s tab name.
  4. In the case of the video example, I would select “Sign Me Up!”.
  5. Check your fan page from another account which is not a fan of the page.

Enjoy! If you have any comments or questions feel free to ask!
