HTML for those of us who don't understand HTML

I am just learning HTML and can consider myself a beginner.  I still wouldn't say I know enough to be dangerous... but hope to be in that category soon.  I am a big fan of adding FBML/ HTML tabs to my Facebook Fanpage.  On my personal page I created a welcome page that greets fans before they "like" it and directs them to my website.  I just recently created a Fanpage for Motor City Denim on their fanpage I added a welcome landing page and a tab that directs people to their online store.  I had to self teach myself and wanted to share with you what i have learned.  Here are a couple tools that you can use to help you understand HTML a little better. 

http://online-html-editor.org/- is a FREE online HTML editor that can help you create the fanpage you desire.  you can ad links, photos, and more.  It easily lets you grab the code so you can paste it in your FBML/ HTML application bar.  It also has a tutorial video underneath the editor so you can learn while you edit.

Photo Bucket-  Lets you upload your photos and share them. You can grab an HTML code or a direct link that you can ad to your HTML editor.

I hope this helps make your HTML needs a little easier.

 Creating an HTML/ FBML tab for your Facebook Fanpage

 

• ·        First create a page or log in to your existing page.

If the Tab is NOT there- Go to the search bar, type Static FBML, then click that application.  Click the “Add to My page/” From here it will prompt a pop screen that list all your facebook Fanpages.  You will select which fanpage you want the FBML tab on.  Once you do this follow the instructions above.

 

Click Edit on the FBML Interface.  First go to the header and select the title you want the tab to be called. Some examples are Welcome, Shop, services, etc.  Then in the FBML Message tab you can ad any text you want your fans to see.  You can ad an HTML code to cater to the tab you are creating. 

 

A free online HTML editor you can use (if you are not confident in HTML) is http://online-html-editor.org/.  You can also you Photo Bucket to get a direct link to any image you want to use. 

 

·        Once you get your code you can paste it in your FBML Message Tab… Then hit save

·        Then go back to Applications- Here you will see the tab you created.  In order to make the tab visible you will hit applications settings then add tab.

·        Then view the page and you will see your tab.  Here you can navigate were you want to be by dragging it. 

 

To create a second tab-  Go to your new FBML tab, click ‘go to application’, scroll down to the lower left hand side of the and click Add another FBML Tab.  Then follow the previous steps.

 

The skies the limit with making a Tab.  Have fun with it and make it show your personality and your business brand.
