Bad News For Facebook Fan Pages!
Facebook this week announced that as of March11th, they will no longer allow any new Static FBML (HTML) applications on your Facebook fan page!
This means, unfortunately, you can’t use the Facebook strategy as described step-by-step by Pete.
It’s not all bad news, but you do have to act fast!
If you want to use Pete’s strategy:
You have until March 11th to get a Static FBML page – if you do, you’ll be able to use it and edit it in the future. But no new Fan Pages can use it.
If you want to get similar results in future, you have to use iframes – a different process.
Also, the profile picture size for Pages has been adjusted from 200×600 to 180×540.
The slightly better news is that if you buy FanPageEngine before March 11th, you get the version which supports iframes for the same price as now.
Summary
- You can’t use FBML on new Fan Pages after 11th March.
- From then you have to use a new process using iframes.
- FanPageEngine will support the new iframes process.
- If you get FanPageEngine now, you’ll get iframe support for free.
Get FanPageEngine:
