I went to your fb page and it looks fine. I'm not a fan and there wasn't any whitespace for me.

Thanks so much for tip #3. I've spent days trying to figure out a way to display one graphic for fans and another for non-fans. It never occurred to me to overlay them on top of one another!

Note to facebook staff: how about letting <fb:visible-to-connection> work with <fb:if> and <fb:else>?

Hi Steve,

Tip #3 I had implemented and working well for my page in both IE and Firefox. It suddenly stopped working in IE last week, but still works in Firefox. The IE page no longer generates the HTML for that block, Firefox does. Anyone else having this issue, or has Facebook changed their code to reject background images on TDs?

Thanks

I tried the non-fan's code and the <fb:visible-to-connection> is leaving a whiteout space over top of the td background so you can't see it. Has facebook developed an fb tag for non-fans yet?

Thanks for all your great suggestions. I am hoping you can help with a facebook dilemma I have. I run my school's facebook presence. We started off with a personal profile, "Asbury T. Seminary" and a group. The group was good for info and the personal profile could do status updates and allow a conversation. However, when the page feature launched we jumped on it, and deleted the group. Now, with the latest upgrade, the Asbury Theological Seminary group can work like a personal profile with status feeds and more. I like this. However, someone has to become a fan to follow updates in their status feed. We use the page a tool to connect with people who may be considering Asbury for education, i.e. a recruiting tool. Many potential students are reluctant to "Fan" us but will add the personal profile "Asbury T. Seminary" as it seems to be less commitment as they are considering various schools, but still want to stay in the loop. How can I merge this into one presence? Is this even possible?

I hope this makes sense, anyone have any suggestions? Reply here or email me at recruiting@asburyseminary.edu

Kate, all the tabs of your Facebook page are now viewable bu non-FB members. They just won't be able to interact with the content. Just give them the URL of the tab you want them to see.

I just started our corporate page (http://www.facebook.com/hom... but I can't figure out how to share it with people who are not logged-in fb users. Halp! Please! Anyone?
I've messaged Facebook, but no word back yet.

Yes, when you set up a Page on Facebook, you'll be asked what it's for - one of the options you can choose is "Website".

Steve,
Thank you for all the good info. found it useful. Have a question though (pardon my lack of knowledge) are you saying that on item #4 if a url is with GoDaddy, to see if the domain can be redirected to the facebook URL? Do I have that right?
