Familiar with HTML?!!(Hyper Text Markup Language)
Well, here is FBML....(Face Book Markup Language)
Adding Static FBML Application to Your Facebook Fan Page allows your page to become more fully functional, appearing more like your blog or a web page.
It’s easy to do and something necessary if you wish to include images, YouTube videos, or opt-in forms on your page.
Following these steps you’ll find it’s very easy to add, and add them now because soon Facebook will not allow new pages to be added with FBML.
- On your Fan page, click ‘Edit Page’
- In the list, you may or may not see ‘Static FBML’, but if not, scroll down to ‘More Applications’ and look for it there. If you do not see it, then select ‘Browse more’.
- Click on ‘Static FBML’ and go to the application’s page where you can select ‘Add to my page’ from the left column (if you administer more than one page you will get a list from which you have to select the page).
- Click ‘Close’.
Editing the FBML Tab
Now that you have added the application, in the ‘Edit Page’ menu you will see an ‘FBML – FBML’ entry. Click ‘Edit’ for this entry and then add the Title which will appear on the Tab (Boxes will be going away soon).
In the content field you can paste almost any HTML including Forms from your auto-responder, CSS, and images.
Do not set the width of any image or item greater than 520 pixels, which is the maximum for FBML application tabs.
Click ‘Save Changes’ when you are finished.
Making the FBML Tab Public
Going back to the ‘Edit Page’ menu, find the FBML application by your given title in the previous step, and select ‘Application Settings’ this time.
Next to the ‘Tab’ option, click on ‘Add’. If it only has ‘Remove’ as an option, then it has already been added.
Adding More Static FBML Applications
At the bottom of your existing FBML edit windows you will see ‘Add another FBML box’, under the ‘Save’ / ‘Cancel’ buttons. There is a limit but I’m not sure how many you can create before this link would disappear.
Warning: Add your Static FBML Soon, Facebook is Changing Again!
Facebook is going to do away with static FBML and move to iFrames, which is an HTML element that uses javascript. According to Facebook, “By the end of this year, we will no longer allow new FBML applications to be created, so all new canvas applications and Page tabs will have to be based on IFrames and our JavaScript SDK. We will, however, continue to support existing implementations of the older authentication mechanism as well as FBML on Page tabs and applications. [Emphasis added.]“.
So anyone that is thinking of adding the static FBML should do so now, so that Facebook may allow those existing FBML tabs to keep them after the change.

And as long as you do it soon, adding static FBML to your Facebook Fan page is easy and allows a great amount of flexibility in creating an attractive Facebook fan page!
