</p><p>Social media is a great networking resource when you’re looking for a new job, your first job out of college, or an internship. I got my current job at HubSpot nearly two years ago because of connections I&#8217;d made on Twitter, so I can say with certainty that it works.</p>
<p>Since I’ve recently hired an intern to work with me this summer, I’ve sifted through lots of resumes and internet stalked my candidates, like every (smart) hiring manager in this day and age will do. So I’ve seen a lot of mistakes that kept people from interning at <a href="http://www.hubspot.com/blog/bid/16347/HubSpot-Wins-BBJ-Best-Places-To-Work-Award-For-the-2nd-Year-In-a-Row">Boston’s #1 place to work for two years running</a>. I wanted to share these with you, so you can avoid these snafus. Keep in mind that every hiring manager is looking for different things; these are just the things that I personally would take into consideration.</p>
<p>Here are 10 ways to hurt your job search or internship (so don’t do these things!):</p>
<p><span id="more-2393"></span></p>
<h2>1. Don’t be on LinkedIn</h2>
<p>If you’re not on LinkedIn, you basically don’t exist. That’s clearly an exaggeration, but I’m much more likely to bring in a candidate if I can find his or her profile on LinkedIn. LinkedIn provides job seekers a place to showcase their work experience and projects they’ve worked on, share their website(s), and gather recommendations. Recommendations are something that you can’t find on a resume, and I’d much rather see some glowing compliments <em>before</em> interviewing a candidate.</p>
<p>Being “just an intern” isn’t an excuse for not being on LinkedIn. You can still list your extracurricular activities, prior internships, and part-time gigs, and gather recommendations from your managers and peers.</p>
<h2>2. Complain about prior job or internship in your blog</h2>
<p>Most people like to find an outlet to blow off steam. No job or internship is 100% perfect. But if you’re looking for a new gig, don’t let that outlet be your blog. In today’s day and age, anything you write under your own name is findable online. And smart hiring managers will do their homework. We want to work with motivated people who will take one for the team without publicly bashing their job for all the world to see. And if you do complain about your prior internship in your personal blog, for goodness sake, don’t link to it from your resume. This happened. True story.</p>
<h2>3. Link to your uber-personal blog on your resume</h2>
<p>If you have the motivation to maintain a blog in addition to your job and/or schoolwork, that awesome. If it’s a professional blog, or even a personal blog about your hobby, please add it to your resume/cover letter/LinkedIn. It gives hiring managers more insight about who you are as a person, and what you might be like to work with. If your blog is an “uber-personal” blog in which you rant about life, post pictures of scantily-clad women, or stress about your latest breakup, that’s fine. Just don’t link to it from your resume/cover letter/LinkedIn, or even your Twitter bio (while you’re job searching). It’s not appropriate, and makes you seem less of a business professional.</p>
<h2>4. Don’t maintain privacy settings on Facebook</h2>
<p>While hiring managers will want to see what you look like on Facebook, we don’t need to see pictures of you doing keg stands with your buddies. So be careful about your privacy settings. Don’t make yourself completely invisible to search (so that your own real-life friends can actually find you), there’s no need to be that paranoid. But just make sure that you only display the photo albums and status updates you wouldn’t mind hiring managers to see publicly.</p>
<h2>5. Post mundane details of your life on Twitter</h2>
<p>It’s generally best-practice to stay away from mundane updates on Twitter, even if you’re not looking for a new job. You may notice a dip in followers if you consistently post about sitting on your couch, eating pizza, or watching TV. But be especially careful when you’re on the job market. Tweet smartly, and include relevant articles to your industry, informative blog posts you’ve written, and insightful comments you have about your work, classes, and culture. Just stay away from the mundane. And of course, just as you shouldn’t rant about your job on your blog, you shouldn’t rant about it on Twitter either.</p>
<h2>6. Contradict yourself during an interview</h2>
<p>If you’ve recently written a blog post about the “10 reasons why XYZ is bad for the ABC industry,” stick to your guns in person. If you contradict yourself during the interview by saying XYZ is brilliant, your interviewer will know that you’re just trying to appease them. A smart interviewer will have internet-stalked you before your interview, so already knows your opinion on XYZ. Disagreeing with the norm does not (necessarily) make you a complainer. It makes you someone who recognizes flaws and will strive to make a positive impact on the company in which you’re seeking a job.</p>
<h2>7. Post TGIF-style tweets and updates</h2>
<p>It’s absolutely ok to look forward to the weekend. Just don’t publicize the fact on Twitter. Posting “TGIF” or “can’t wait for 5pm” or “today’s going so slowww” can make you come across as an unmotivated whiner, even if it’s not true. Just be careful of public updates like this while you’re applying for a new job.</p>
<h2>8. Post without double-checking spelling and grammar</h2>
<p>Avoid common errors like mixing up their, they’re, and there, or you’re and your, even in social media. This will show that you’re detail-oriented and have a solid grasp of writing the English language. If you’re constantly making mistakes online, even if it’s “just” social media, it will making the hiring manager afraid of constantly needing to correct your work.</p>
<h2>9. Abandon your social media profiles</h2>
<p>If you don’t already have LinkedIn and Twitter profiles set up, it’s great to take the initiative to set those up. But don’t just set them up and abandon them! A blank profiles or Twitter stream is just as bad as not having one at all. If anything, it shows that you can’t finish a project that you’ve started.</p>
<h2>10. Spend TOO much time on social media</h2>
<p>At the opposite extreme, if you’re spending all day tweeting, that doesn’t look good either. That makes it seem like you’re not spending any time on your actual job or school work! Like anything else in life, moderation is key.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a class="post_image_link" href="http://ustandout.com/facebook/ultimate-guide-how-to-use-facebook-insights-to-measure-your-fan-page" title="Permanent link to Ultimate Guide: How to Use Facebook Insights to Measure Your Fan Page"><img class="post_image alignleft" src="http://ustandout.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/image_thumb13.png" width="168" height="170" alt="Facebook Insights" /></a>
</p><p>Once you’ve created and optimized your Facebook page, you might be wondering how successful your page really is. The Facebook Insights dashboard will help you determine how successful your page is at generating likes, visits, clicks, and engagement. It will also help you gauge whether or not your content and engagement strategies are working.</p>
<p>To see your Facebook Insights dashboard, click on the settings icon at the top-right side of your page, and then select <strong>View Insights</strong> from the drop-down menu.</p>
<p><span id="more-2380"></span></p>
<p><a href="http://ustandout.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/image14.png"><img style="background-image: none; margin: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; padding-top: 0px; border: 0px;" title="image" src="http://ustandout.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/image_thumb14.png" alt="image" width="654" height="290" border="0" /></a></p>
<p>There are two types of Facebook insights that you can analyze:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>User Insights:</strong> Total likes, Friends of fans (this lets you see your potential reach), fan demographics, page visits, like sources</li>
<li><strong>Interaction Insights:</strong> Post activity (likes, shares, comments), people “talking about your page,” people posting to your Timeline</li>
</ul>
<p>With so much data to look at, it can get a bit overwhelming. Here are the key insights that I recommend you pay attention to, and keep track of on a monthly basis.</p>
<h2>1. Monthly fan base growth</h2>
<p>Keep track of how many “likes” your page has generated last month on the 1st day of every month. You can see this information right on the <strong>Overview tab</strong>.</p>
<p><a href="http://ustandout.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/image15.png"><img style="background-image: none; margin: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; padding-top: 0px; border: 0px;" title="image" src="http://ustandout.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/image_thumb15.png" alt="image" width="654" height="254" border="0" /></a></p>
<h2>2. Post engagement and virality</h2>
<p>See which types of posts are most effective at keeping your fans engaged, as well as sharing your posts with their friends, at the bottom of the <strong>Overview tab</strong>.</p>
<p><a href="http://ustandout.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/image16.png"><img style="background-image: none; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; padding-top: 0px; border: 0px;" title="image" src="http://ustandout.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/image_thumb16.png" alt="image" width="650" height="302" border="0" /></a></p>
<p>Here’s what each of the columns mean (and keep in mind that Facebook only includes numbers for the first 28 days after a post’s publication):</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Date:</strong> The date in which you posted each piece of content</li>
<li><strong>Post: </strong>An excerpt of the post that appeared on your Facebook page</li>
<li><strong>Reach:</strong> The number of unique people who have seen your post</li>
<li><strong>Engaged Users:</strong> The number of people who have clicked on your post. This includes clicks on links AND clicks on people’s names, the timestamp, or the number of likes AND clicks on the Share link (which creates a story on the user’s own Timeline). Click on the number of Engaged Users to see more details.</li>
</ul>
<p><a href="http://ustandout.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/image17.png"><img style="background-image: none; margin: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; padding-top: 0px; border: 0px;" title="image" src="http://ustandout.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/image_thumb17.png" alt="image" width="654" height="292" border="0" /></a></p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Talking About This:</strong> The number of people who have created a story from your post. Stories are created when someone likes, comments on, or shares your posts, answers a question you posted, or responds to an event you created. Click on the number of people talking about this to see the breakdown.</li>
</ul>
<p><a href="http://ustandout.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/image18.png"><img style="background-image: none; margin: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; padding-top: 0px; border: 0px;" title="image" src="http://ustandout.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/image_thumb18.png" alt="image" width="654" height="279" border="0" /></a></p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Virality:</strong> The percentage of people who have created a story from your post out of the total number of unique people who have seen it.</li>
</ul>
<h2>3. Page “like” source</h2>
<p>Ever wonder if you were getting more “likes” on your fan page vs. the like box you added to your blog? Now you can find out. First, click on the <strong>Likes</strong> tab at the top of the dashboard.</p>
<p><a href="http://ustandout.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/image19.png"><img style="background-image: none; margin: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; padding-top: 0px; border: 0px;" title="image" src="http://ustandout.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/image_thumb19.png" alt="image" width="654" height="203" border="0" /></a></p>
<p>Then scroll down to the section called <strong>Where Your Likes Came From</strong>.</p>
<p><a href="http://ustandout.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/image20.png"><img style="background-image: none; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; padding-top: 0px; border: 0px;" title="image" src="http://ustandout.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/image_thumb20.png" alt="image" width="650" height="288" border="0" /></a></p>
<p>Here you can see which source generated the most likes:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>On Page: </strong>People who liked your page on the page itself</li>
<li><strong>Like Box and Like Button:</strong> People who liked your page by clicking “like” on the <a href="http://ustandout.com/facebook/how-to-add-facebook-fan-box" target="_blank">like box</a> or like button you’ve added to your website</li>
<li><strong>Timeline:</strong> People who liked your page from the Likes section of someone’s Timeline</li>
</ul>
<p><a href="http://ustandout.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/image21.png"><img style="background-image: none; margin: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; padding-top: 0px; border: 0px;" title="image" src="http://ustandout.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/image_thumb21.png" alt="image" width="654" height="251" border="0" /></a></p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Facebook Recommendations:</strong> People who liked your page from a Recommended Pages unit on the right column of the Facebook news feed.</li>
</ul>
<p><a href="http://ustandout.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/image22.png"><img style="background-image: none; margin: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; padding-top: 0px; border: 0px;" title="image" src="http://ustandout.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/image_thumb22.png" alt="image" width="654" height="201" border="0" /></a></p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Search Results:</strong> People who liked your page from their Facebook search results</li>
</ul>
<p><a href="http://ustandout.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/image23.png"><img style="background-image: none; margin: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; padding-top: 0px; border: 0px;" title="image" src="http://ustandout.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/image_thumb23.png" alt="image" width="654" height="267" border="0" /></a></p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Page Likes Another Page:</strong> Other Facebook pages that have “liked” your page, listing your page as a favorite.</li>
</ul>
<h2>4. Total tab views</h2>
<p>Curious to see how many views each of your Facebook tabs have received? You can find that information on the Reach screen. Just select a date range…</p>
<p><a href="http://ustandout.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/image24.png"><img style="background-image: none; margin: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; padding-top: 0px; border: 0px;" title="image" src="http://ustandout.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/image_thumb24.png" alt="image" width="654" height="238" border="0" /></a></p>
<p>Then scroll down to the bottom of the screen to see <strong>Total Tab Views</strong>. This will show you the number of times each of your tabs was viewed during the date range you selected. Click <strong>More</strong> to see all of your tabs.</p>
<p><a href="http://ustandout.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/image25.png"><img style="background-image: none; margin: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; padding-top: 0px; border: 0px;" title="image" src="http://ustandout.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/image_thumb25.png" alt="image" width="654" height="275" border="0" /></a></p>
<h2>5. Referring traffic sources</h2>
<p>Right next to the Total Tab Views section, you’ll see the External Referrers section. This will show you which websites are sending the most traffic to your Facebook fan page. If you’re doing Facebook marketing right on your website, it should be the #1 source of external traffic.</p>
<p><a href="http://ustandout.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/image26.png"><img style="background-image: none; margin: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; padding-top: 0px; border: 0px;" title="image" src="http://ustandout.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/image_thumb26.png" alt="image" width="654" height="275" border="0" /></a></p>
<h2>6. Export your data!</h2>
<p>Some of the most valuable insights you can get will come from your exported Facebook data. You’ll see the <strong>Export</strong> button at the top of each screen on your insights dashboard.</p>
<p><a href="http://ustandout.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/image27.png"><img style="background-image: none; margin: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; padding-top: 0px; border: 0px;" title="image" src="http://ustandout.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/image_thumb27.png" alt="image" width="654" height="246" border="0" /></a></p>
<p>Then you can select a time range, and which type of report you’d like to run:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Page level data</strong> – reports on your entire Facebook page during that time range. You’ll see stats like total likes (useful if you didn’t check your like count on the 1st of the month), daily unlikes, friends of fans (so you can see your reach potential), and total impressions.</li>
<li><strong>Post level data</strong> – reports on each individual story posted during that time range. You’ll see stats such as likes, comments, and shares of each post, as well as how much negative feedback each post has received (in the form of hidden or reported stories).</li>
</ul>
<p><a href="http://ustandout.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/image28.png"><img style="background-image: none; margin: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; padding-top: 0px; border: 0px;" title="image" src="http://ustandout.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/image_thumb28.png" alt="image" width="654" height="364" border="0" /></a></p>
<p>These are the main areas I would recommend paying attention to. There are many other useful (and not-so-useful) stats that Facebook provides, but these are the insights I found most valuable to help determine what my Facebook marketing next-steps should be.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a class="post_image_link" href="http://ustandout.com/facebook/how-to-make-someone-an-admin-of-your-facebook-fan-page" title="Permanent link to How to Make Someone an Admin of Your Facebook Fan Page"><img class="post_image alignleft" src="http://ustandout.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/image_thumb7.png" width="170" height="150" alt="How to Make Someone an Admin of Your Facebook Fan Page" /></a>
</p><p>When you need to assign a colleague tasks on your company’s Facebook page, or if you hire a social media agency or consultant to work on your Facebook page, it’s usually necessary for them to be granted admin rights. You can easily add your Facebook friends as an admin of your fan page, but if you’re not Facebook friends, you can add people via their email address. This will work for both fans and non-fans of your page.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span id="more-2337"></span></p>
<h4>Note: They must have this email address registered (associated) with their Facebook profile. Sometimes individuals use their personal accounts to log into Facebook, and not everyone hooks up their work email address to their Facebook account, so verify with them which email address they want you to use.</h4>
<h2>1. Go to your Admin Panel</h2>
<p>Click the <strong>Admin Panel</strong> link at the top of your Facebook page.</p>
<p><a href="http://ustandout.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/image8.png"><img style="background-image: none; margin: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; padding-top: 0px; border-width: 0px;" title="image" src="http://ustandout.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/image_thumb8.png" alt="image" width="654" height="177" border="0" /></a></p>
<h2>2. Edit your Facebook page</h2>
<p>Click the <strong>Manage</strong> button, then select <strong>Edit Page</strong>.</p>
<p><a href="http://ustandout.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/image9.png"><img style="background-image: none; margin: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; padding-top: 0px; border-width: 0px;" title="image" src="http://ustandout.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/image_thumb9.png" alt="image" width="654" height="186" border="0" /></a></p>
<h2>3. Manage admins</h2>
<p>Click <strong>Manage Admins</strong> in the sidebar navigation.</p>
<p><a href="http://ustandout.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/image10.png"><img style="background-image: none; margin: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; padding-top: 0px; border-width: 0px;" title="image" src="http://ustandout.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/image_thumb10.png" alt="image" width="654" height="186" border="0" /></a></p>
<h2>4. Add an admin</h2>
<p>Enter an email address in the text field, and then click <strong>Save</strong>.</p>
<p><a href="http://ustandout.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/image11.png"><img style="background-image: none; margin: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; padding-top: 0px; border-width: 0px;" title="image" src="http://ustandout.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/image_thumb11.png" alt="image" width="654" height="249" border="0" /></a></p>
<p>OR, if you are Facebook friends with the individual you’d like to add as an admin, enter their name and select their Facebook profile in the dropdown menu that appears. Then click <strong>Save</strong>.</p>
<p><a href="http://ustandout.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/image12.png"><img style="background-image: none; margin: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; padding-top: 0px; border-width: 0px;" title="image" src="http://ustandout.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/image_thumb12.png" alt="image" width="654" height="249" border="0" /></a></p>
<p>That’s it! Now your colleague/consultant/spouse/friend is an admin of your Facebook fan page.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a class="post_image_link" href="http://ustandout.com/gmail/how-to-remove-google-plus-contacts-from-gmail-chat" title="Permanent link to How to Remove Google+ Contacts from Gmail Chat"><img class="post_image alignleft" src="http://ustandout.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/image_thumb2.png" width="150" height="149" alt="How to Remove Google+ Contacts from Gmail Chat" /></a>
</p><p>If you’ve added people to your Google+ circles, you might have noticed that these people have been automatically added to your Gmail chat pane. So now, not only can your friends see when you’re logged into your personal email and chat with you, but so can your coworkers, students, or other people in your professional network. This can lead to unwanted work-related conversations on nights and weekends, when all you want to do is chat and make plans with your pals.</p>
<p>Google doesn’t make it obvious how to remove your Google+ contacts from chat while logged into Gmail. That’s because you can’t; you need to be on the Google+ view to remove these contacts. Here’s how:</p>
<p><span id="more-2312"></span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>1. Navigate to your Google+ page</h2>
<p>Click on the notifications icon at the top of your Gmail screen, and then click <strong>Google+</strong>.</p>
<p><a href="http://ustandout.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/image3.png"><img style="background-image: none; margin: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; padding-top: 0px; border: 0px;" title="image" src="http://ustandout.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/image_thumb3.png" alt="image" width="476" height="259" border="0" /></a></p>
<h2>2. Edit your chat settings</h2>
<p>You may have to wait a few seconds, or even a couple minutes, for the chat function to load on your Google+ page. Once it does, click on the arrow next to your name, and then select <strong>Privacy Settings</strong>.</p>
<p><a href="http://ustandout.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/image4.png"><img style="background-image: none; margin: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; padding-top: 0px; border: 0px;" title="image" src="http://ustandout.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/image_thumb4.png" alt="image" width="335" height="464" border="0" /></a></p>
<h2>3. Select custom settings</h2>
<p>Click on the <strong>Your Circles</strong> drop-down menu and select <strong>Custom</strong>.</p>
<p><a href="http://ustandout.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/image5.png"><img style="background-image: none; margin: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; padding-top: 0px; border: 0px;" title="image" src="http://ustandout.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/image_thumb5.png" alt="image" width="580" height="238" border="0" /></a></p>
<h2>4. Choose none of your Google+ circles</h2>
<p>Leave all of your Google+ circles unselected. If you would like contacts from certain circles to remain in your Gmail chat, check these off. Otherwise, just click <strong>Save</strong>.</p>
<p><a href="http://ustandout.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/image6.png"><img style="background-image: none; margin: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; padding-top: 0px; border: 0px;" title="image" src="http://ustandout.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/image_thumb6.png" alt="image" width="585" height="476" border="0" /></a></p>
<p>That’s it! Now if you go back to your Gmail account, you’ll notice that your chat pane is back to normal, just showing your email contacts and friends. Your name will also be removed from your Google+ contacts’ chat panes.<strong>Related Posts:</strong>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a class="post_image_link" href="http://ustandout.com/facebook/how-to-create-multiple-reveal-tabs-on-your-facebook-fan-page" title="Permanent link to How to Create Multiple Reveal Tabs on your Facebook Fan Page"><img class="post_image alignleft" src="http://ustandout.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/image_thumb.png" width="147" height="148" alt="How to Create Multiple Reveal Tabs on your Facebook Fan Page" /></a>
</p><p>Reveal tabs, also known as fan-gated content, allow you to add custom app tabs to your Facebook Fan Page that show content to the viewer depending on whether or not they’ve liked your page.</p>
<p>Your non-fan content should encourage viewers to “like” the page to see the exclusive, fan only content. Upon liking the page, it will refresh to reveal the fan-only content.</p>
<p>A U Stand Out reader emailed to ask if it’s possible to create multiple reveal tabs. This way, in addition to having a primary reveal tab, you could make other custom tab content such as forums, photos, and videos only visible to fans.</p>
<p><span id="more-2297"></span></p>
<p><strong>Yes, it is possible to create multiple reveal tabs.</strong></p>
<p>According to my instructions for <a href="http://ustandout.com/facebook/add-iframe-reveal-tab-facebook-page" target="_blank">how to create a reveal tab</a>, you should use the Facebook application called Static HTML to easily create your reveal tab.</p>
<p>In order to create more than one reveal tab, do a search for Static HTML. In addition to the primary <strong>Static HTML: iframe tabs</strong> app, you’ll see options to add a <strong>Second Tab</strong>, <strong>Third Tab</strong>, and so on.</p>
<p><a href="http://ustandout.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/image1.png"><img style="background-image: none; margin: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; padding-top: 0px; border: 0px;" title="image" src="http://ustandout.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/image_thumb1.png" alt="image" width="592" height="580" border="0" /></a></p>
<p>It’s as easy as that. Here are the complete instructions you can follow for each custom tab you create:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://ustandout.com/facebook/add-iframe-reveal-tab-facebook-page" target="_blank">Install the Static HTML app to create a reveal tab</a></li>
<li><a href="http://ustandout.com/facebook/how-to-change-facebook-fan-page-tab-image" target="_blank">Change the tab app image of your reveal tab</a></li>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a class="post_image_link" href="http://ustandout.com/facebook/how-to-promote-reveal-tab-facebook-without-default-landing-pages" title="Permanent link to How to Promote a Reveal Tab on Facebook Without Default Landing Pages"><img class="post_image alignleft" src="http://ustandout.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/image_thumb21.png" width="174" height="174" alt="How to Promote a Reveal Tab on Facebook Without Default Landing Pages" /></a>
</p><p>It’s March 30th, the day that all Facebook fan pages will be automatically upgraded to Timeline pages. This means that while your fan page can still have custom tabs and <a href="http://ustandout.com/facebook/add-iframe-reveal-tab-facebook-page" target="_blank">reveal tabs</a>, these tabs can no longer be set as your default landing pages. All Facebook users, whether they’ve &#8220;Liked&#8221; your page or not, will see your page’s Timeline by default.</p>
<p>However, you can still effectively promote the offerings of your reveal tab on your fan page. Here’s how you can make use of the other aspects of your Facebook fan page’s layout.</p>
<p><span id="more-2288"></span></p>
<h2>1. Strategically name your app tabs</h2>
<p>You can customize the name shown under the thumbnail image of each app tab on your Facebook page (except for the standard Facebook apps, such as Photos). Here’s an example of what this looks like on <a href="http://www.facebook.com/UStandOut" target="_blank">U Stand Out’s Facebook page</a>:</p>
<p><a href="http://ustandout.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/image17.png"><img style="background-image: none; margin: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; padding-top: 0px; border-width: 0px;" title="image" src="http://ustandout.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/image_thumb17.png" alt="image" width="699" height="225" border="0" /></a></p>
<p>Here are some ideas for strategic names you can use for your app tabs:</p>
<ul>
<li>Free Download</li>
<li>Get a Discount</li>
<li>Get 50% Off</li>
<li>Earn Rewards</li>
<li>Win a Prize</li>
<li>Latest News</li>
</ul>
<p><a href="http://ustandout.com/facebook/change-app-tab-facebook-timeline-pages" target="_blank"><strong>Learn how to change the name of your app tabs here.</strong></a></p>
<h2>2. Prioritize the order of your app tabs</h2>
<p>You can reorder your app tabs so that the most important tabs are toward the front. The first tab will always be the standard Photos app, and that cannot be changed. So the 2nd tab should be your most important tab, such as your reveal tab.</p>
<p>To reorder the images, first click the down arrow to the right of your tab images:</p>
<p><a href="http://ustandout.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/image22.png"><img style="background-image: none; margin: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; padding-top: 0px; border: 0px;" title="image" src="http://ustandout.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/image_thumb22.png" alt="image" width="585" height="149" border="0" /></a></p>
<p>Then hover over the tab image you’d like to reorder and click the pencil icon. Then select the tab you’d like to swap with this tab.</p>
<p><a href="http://ustandout.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/image23.png"><img style="background-image: none; margin: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; padding-top: 0px; border: 0px;" title="image" src="http://ustandout.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/image_thumb23.png" alt="image" width="327" height="272" border="0" /></a></p>
<h2>3. Pin a promotional story to the top of your Timeline</h2>
<p>If you’re giving something awesome away on your reveal tab, post an update about it and pin that story to the top of your Timeline.</p>
<p><a href="http://ustandout.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/image24.png"><img style="background-image: none; margin: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; padding-top: 0px; border: 0px;" title="image" src="http://ustandout.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/image_thumb24.png" alt="image" width="482" height="416" border="0" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://ustandout.com/facebook/pin-post-top-facebook-fan-page-timeline" target="_blank"><strong>Learn how to pin as story to the top of your Timeline here.</strong></a></p>
<h2>4. Link to your reveal tab from your website</h2>
<p>You can promote your exclusive fan-only offer on your website, and link directly to your reveal tab. This way, you’ll be encouraging your website visitors to like your fan page, and since they’re already visiting your site, they’re be more likely to do so than random Facebook users.</p>
<p>To find out what your reveal tab link is, go to the Apps section of the Admin tool, and click <strong>Link to this Tab</strong> under the custom app you’re using for your reveal tab.</p>
<p><a href="http://ustandout.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/image25.png"><img style="background-image: none; margin: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; padding-top: 0px; border: 0px;" title="image" src="http://ustandout.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/image_thumb25.png" alt="image" width="524" height="280" border="0" /></a></p>
<p>Then you’ll see the direct link to your reveal tab.</p>
<p><a href="http://ustandout.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/image26.png"><img style="background-image: none; margin: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; padding-top: 0px; border: 0px;" title="image" src="http://ustandout.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/image_thumb26.png" alt="image" width="585" height="179" border="0" /></a></p>
<h2>5. Don’t advertise any offers or promotions in your cover photo</h2>
<p>This is more of a reminder than a tip; it is against Facebook’s rules to advertise any promotions, giveaways, or offers in the cover image. That space is exclusively for branding purposes.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[You can customize the name of an app tab on your Facebook Timeline Fan Page to call attention to any reveal tabs you've set up.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a class="post_image_link" href="http://ustandout.com/facebook/change-app-tab-facebook-timeline-pages" title="Permanent link to How to Change the Name of an App Tab on Your Facebook Timeline Pages"><img class="post_image alignleft" src="http://ustandout.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/image_thumb18.png" width="122" height="175" alt="Post image for How to Change the Name of an App Tab on Your Facebook Timeline Pages" /></a>
</p><p>On the new Facebook Timeline Fan Pages, tabs are now called app tabs, and are displayed as images above your page&#8217;s Timeline. In addition to being able to <a href="http://ustandout.com/facebook/how-to-change-facebook-fan-page-tab-image" target="_blank">change the app tab image</a>, you can also customize the name of an app tab (except for the standard Facebook apps, such as Photos or Notes). This is a great way to call attention to any <a href="http://ustandout.com/facebook/add-iframe-reveal-tab-facebook-page" target="_blank">reveal tabs</a> or tabs containing promotions or offers.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s a step-by-step tutorial on how to change the name of one of your custom app tabs.</p>
<p><span id="more-2249"></span>First, click the <strong>Admin Panel </strong>button at the top of the screen.</p>
<p><a href="http://ustandout.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/01-admin-panel.png"><img title="01-admin-panel" src="http://ustandout.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/01-admin-panel.png" alt="Facebook Timeline Page Admin Panel" width="342" height="177" /></a></p>
<p>In the Admin panel, click <strong>Manage &gt; Edit Page</strong>.</p>
<p><a href="http://ustandout.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/02-edit-page.png"><img title="02-edit-page" src="http://ustandout.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/02-edit-page.png" alt="Edit Facebook Timeline Fan Page" width="458" height="225" /></a></p>
<p>Click <strong>Apps</strong> in the sidebar.</p>
<p><a href="http://ustandout.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/03-apps-in-sidebar.png"><img title="03-apps-in-sidebar" src="http://ustandout.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/03-apps-in-sidebar.png" alt="" width="277" height="287" /></a></p>
<p>Scroll down the page until you see the application of the tab you&#8217;d like to change the image of. Then click <strong>Edit Settings</strong>.</p>

<p>Then you can change the name of your tab. Make sure that the text fits within the text field here, otherwise the text will get cut off on your fan page homepage. Once you edit the name, click <strong>Save</strong>. Then click <strong>Okay</strong>.</p>
<p><a href="http://ustandout.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/image19.png"><img style="background-image: none; margin: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; padding-top: 0px; border: 0px;" title="image" src="http://ustandout.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/image_thumb19.png" alt="image" width="484" height="262" border="0" /></a></p>
<p>Now if you go back to your Facebook Fan Page, you’ll see the updated app tab name.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a class="post_image_link" href="http://ustandout.com/facebook/pin-post-top-facebook-fan-page-timeline" title="Permanent link to How to Pin a Post to the Top of Your Facebook Fan Page Timeline"><img class="post_image alignleft" src="http://ustandout.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/image_thumb13.png" width="168" height="169" alt="Post image for How to Pin a Post to the Top of Your Facebook Fan Page Timeline" /></a>
</p><p>You can now pin your most important posts to the top of the Timeline on your Facebook fan page. It will be the first update that users see at the top of the page.</p>
<p>This feature gives you the opportunity to customize the experience of your fan page visitors. Here are a few ideas of posts you can pin to the top of your Timeline:</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span id="more-2230"></span></p>
<p>The content on your like-gated tab (linking to that app tab)</p>
<ul>
<li>Special events</li>
<li>Facebook-fan-only deals</li>
<li>Product or feature announcements</li>
<li>An important blog post</li>
</ul>
<h2>How to pin a story to the top of your timeline</h2>
<p>First, you need to post the update, picture, video, etc. to your newsfeed as you typically would. Then hover over that story, and click on the <strong>Edit</strong> pencil icon that appears.</p>
<p><a href="http://ustandout.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/image14.png"><img style="background-image: none; margin: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; padding-top: 0px; border: 0px;" title="image" src="http://ustandout.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/image_thumb14.png" alt="image" width="463" height="223" border="0" /></a></p>
<p>Then click <strong>Pin to Top</strong>.</p>
<p><a href="http://ustandout.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/image15.png"><img style="background-image: none; margin: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; padding-top: 0px; border: 0px;" title="image" src="http://ustandout.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/image_thumb15.png" alt="image" width="462" height="224" border="0" /></a></p>
<p>Then you’ll see this post move to the top of the page. A pinned story is indicated with the little bookmark icon.</p>
<p><a href="http://ustandout.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/image16.png"><img style="background-image: none; margin: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; padding-top: 0px; border: 0px;" title="image" src="http://ustandout.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/image_thumb16.png" alt="image" width="459" height="212" border="0" /></a></p>
<h2>The Seven Day Rule</h2>
<p>The catch is that this pin will expire after seven days. So if you are promoting your like-gated content, for example, make sure that you schedule a weekly reminder in your calendar to re-pin the story each week.</p>
<p>You might want to consider promoting things other than your like-gated content as well. The pinned story should be updated with new and engaging content, so that it’s not always the same exact thing at the top of your Timeline. If used effectively, this feature could mitigate the removal of default landing page tabs.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a class="post_image_link" href="http://ustandout.com/facebook/change-app-thumbnail-personal-facebook-profile" title="Permanent link to Can You Change an App Thumbnail on a Personal Facebook Profile?"><img class="post_image alignleft" src="http://ustandout.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/image_thumb9.png" width="150" height="150" alt="Post image for Can You Change an App Thumbnail on a Personal Facebook Profile?" /></a>
</p><p>While this blog mainly focuses on how bloggers and business professionals can use social media sites to stand out, and thus focus on Facebook Fan Pages vs. personal profiles, I received a question from a frustrated Facebook profile user: How can you change application thumbnails on a profile, not a page? So I wanted to shed some light on this issue.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span id="more-2217"></span></p>
<p>Unfortunately, <strong>you cannot customize the application thumbnails on personal Facebook timeline profiles</strong>. You can only do so on Facebook Fan Pages.</p>
<p>On Facebook profiles, you only have the ability to make the following customizations:</p>
<h2>1. Re-order your applications</h2>
<p>Hover over the app image you want to reorder and click the pencil icon, and choose an app to swap positions with:</p>
<p><a href="http://ustandout.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/image10.png"><img style="background-image: none; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; padding-top: 0px; border: 0px;" title="image" src="http://ustandout.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/image_thumb10.png" alt="image" width="546" height="298" border="0" /></a></p>
<h2>2. Add new applications</h2>
<p>Hover over an empty app tab and click the <strong>+</strong> sign:</p>
<p><a href="http://ustandout.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/image11.png"><img style="background-image: none; margin: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; padding-top: 0px; border: 0px;" title="image" src="http://ustandout.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/image_thumb11.png" alt="image" width="328" height="307" border="0" /></a></p>
<h2>3. Remove applications from your “favorites”</h2>
<p>Hover over the app image you want to remove and click the pencil icon, then click <strong>Remove from Favorites</strong>:</p>
<p><a href="http://ustandout.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/image12.png"><img style="background-image: none; margin: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; padding-top: 0px; border: 0px;" title="image" src="http://ustandout.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/image_thumb12.png" alt="image" width="546" height="298" border="0" /></a></p>
<p>Fan pages are given much more flexibility with their customization options because they’re primarily used for business purposes. Facebook trying to keep businesses happy so that they’ll continue investing in Facebook ad buys. If businesses didn’t have complete control over their branding, and weren’t allowed to customize any image on a fan page, that wouldn’t make them very happy, which might influence their Facebook ad spend.</p>
<p>As Personal profiles are meant for connecting with friends. People with personal profiles are the audience for the businesses buying the Facebook ads and creating the applications. Those businesses want their app logos displayed on your page, so it seems that Facebook is going to do what keeps the ad buyers happy.</p>
<p>At least, that’s my theory. Have a theory of your own? Feel free to theorize or rant away in the comments below.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a class="post_image_link" href="http://ustandout.com/facebook/how-to-change-the-fan-page-tab-image-of-facebooks-photos-app" title="Permanent link to How to Change the Photos Tab Image on your Facebook Timeline Fan Page"><img class="post_image alignleft" src="http://ustandout.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/image_thumb8.png" width="174" height="154" alt="Post image for How to Change the Photos Tab Image on your Facebook Timeline Fan Page" /></a>
</p><p>On Facebook’s timeline fan pages, you can edit the icon of your “tab” pages to fit your fan page’s design… unless it’s a standard Facebook app! In that case, the option to edit the custom tab image is missing! This has frustrated many fan page admins who would like to display their Photos app as one of their featured tabs. But like anything else, there’s always a workaround.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span id="more-2203"></span></p>
<p>The photos tab image will always be the most recent photo you’ve added to your Facebook page. This could be:</p>
<ul>
<li>A photo you’ve added to a photo album</li>
<li>A photo you’ve posted to your timeline</li>
<li>A cover photo you’ve just uploaded</li>
</ul>
<p>Knowing this, you can add the photo you want to appear as the tab image, so it looks all pretty:</p>
<p><a href="http://ustandout.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/047EC816-B62F-420E-89F0-FEF1A1F29800.png"><img style="background-image: none; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; padding-top: 0px; border: 0px;" title="047EC816-B62F-420E-89F0-FEF1A1F29800" src="http://ustandout.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/047EC816-B62F-420E-89F0-FEF1A1F29800_thumb.png" alt="047EC816-B62F-420E-89F0-FEF1A1F29800" width="669" height="225" border="0" /></a></p>
<p>But then the next time you upload any photo, your customized photo will be replaced:</p>
<p><a href="http://ustandout.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/B25AC140-CB72-4E38-A325-6731EDFAE9A3.png"><img style="background-image: none; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; padding-top: 0px; border: 0px;" title="B25AC140-CB72-4E38-A325-6731EDFAE9A3" src="http://ustandout.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/B25AC140-CB72-4E38-A325-6731EDFAE9A3_thumb.png" alt="B25AC140-CB72-4E38-A325-6731EDFAE9A3" width="675" height="221" border="0" /></a></p>
<p>So here’s the workaround to make sure your customized tab icon is always the image that’s displayed. You’ll need to do this every time you add photos to your Fan Page, unless you <strong>want</strong> this icon to reflect your most recently-uploaded photo!</p>
<h2>1. Size the photo correctly</h2>
<p>Whether you want to always have the same customized image in this Photo tab space, or you’re ok with this image changing based on your most recently-uploaded photo, you should size your images correctly so that the tab image isn’t cropped awkwardly.</p>
<p>The icon size is 111 x 74 pixels. If you don’t want your photo to be that small (and you probably don’t), it should be a multiplier of those dimensions:</p>
<ul>
<li>111 x 74 pixels</li>
<li>222 x 148 pixels</li>
<li>333 x 222 pixels</li>
<li>444 x 296 pixels</li>
<li>555 x 370 pixels</li>
<li>666 x 444 pixels</li>
<li>…and so on.</li>
</ul>
<h2>2. Upload your customized photo</h2>
<p>If you always want your Photo tab image to be the same, click on the Photos icon, and then click <strong>Add Photos.</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://ustandout.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/16771337-F19E-43B0-ABBA-8F948DA6FEBB.png"><img style="background-image: none; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; padding-top: 0px; border: 0px;" title="16771337-F19E-43B0-ABBA-8F948DA6FEBB" src="http://ustandout.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/16771337-F19E-43B0-ABBA-8F948DA6FEBB_thumb.png" alt="16771337-F19E-43B0-ABBA-8F948DA6FEBB" width="394" height="284" border="0" /></a></p>
<p>Then click <strong>Try the basic uploader</strong>. The newer uploader forces you to share the image on your timeline, which you don’t want to do every time you upload the same exact photo!</p>
<p><a href="http://ustandout.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/E2D12757-6019-4C0D-B7AE-E4205C737A19.png"><img style="background-image: none; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; padding-top: 0px; border: 0px;" title="E2D12757-6019-4C0D-B7AE-E4205C737A19" src="http://ustandout.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/E2D12757-6019-4C0D-B7AE-E4205C737A19_thumb.png" alt="E2D12757-6019-4C0D-B7AE-E4205C737A19" width="424" height="229" border="0" /></a></p>
<p>Choose the file from your hard drive, and then click <strong>Upload Photos</strong>.</p>
<p><a href="http://ustandout.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/C41AEB4E-0930-46C7-88FF-0D2D52532CDD.png"><img style="background-image: none; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; padding-top: 0px; border: 0px;" title="C41AEB4E-0930-46C7-88FF-0D2D52532CDD" src="http://ustandout.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/C41AEB4E-0930-46C7-88FF-0D2D52532CDD_thumb.png" alt="C41AEB4E-0930-46C7-88FF-0D2D52532CDD" width="492" height="340" border="0" /></a></p>
<p>On the next screen, click <strong>Skip</strong> so that you don’t share this photo on your timeline.</p>
<p><a href="http://ustandout.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/2AD42C6A-3CDD-4ACF-819A-79B7C8E30A0F.png"><img style="background-image: none; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; padding-top: 0px; border: 0px;" title="2AD42C6A-3CDD-4ACF-819A-79B7C8E30A0F" src="http://ustandout.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/2AD42C6A-3CDD-4ACF-819A-79B7C8E30A0F_thumb.png" alt="2AD42C6A-3CDD-4ACF-819A-79B7C8E30A0F" width="653" height="333" border="0" /></a></p>
<h2>3. Edit the photo album info</h2>
<p>Uploading a new photo like this will automatically create a new photo album, and that’s fine! This album will specifically be for the Photos tab icon, so you can keep uploading the same photo to it, and just keep it as the last album in your set of albums.</p>
<p>Click on the <strong>Edit Info </strong>tab, and then change the album name (so that you don’t have an album named “Untitled Album”). Then click <strong>Save Changes</strong>.</p>
<p><a href="http://ustandout.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/08B94DB6-2589-4837-8EF9-6EE0650E1DC8.png"><img style="background-image: none; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; padding-top: 0px; border: 0px;" title="08B94DB6-2589-4837-8EF9-6EE0650E1DC8" src="http://ustandout.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/08B94DB6-2589-4837-8EF9-6EE0650E1DC8_thumb.png" alt="08B94DB6-2589-4837-8EF9-6EE0650E1DC8" width="579" height="320" border="0" /></a></p>
<h2>4. Reorder this album to be last</h2>
<p>Click <strong>Albums</strong> next to your fan page name.</p>
<p><a href="http://ustandout.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/BD63544D-9998-47C7-8959-9E192B511A9E.png"><img style="background-image: none; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; padding-top: 0px; border: 0px;" title="BD63544D-9998-47C7-8959-9E192B511A9E" src="http://ustandout.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/BD63544D-9998-47C7-8959-9E192B511A9E_thumb.png" alt="BD63544D-9998-47C7-8959-9E192B511A9E" width="458" height="303" border="0" /></a></p>
<p>Then click on this album and drag it to the last position. This way, you’ll de-prioritize this album.</p>
<p><a href="http://ustandout.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/4EB8982D-872D-48DF-840D-20D50747813C.png"><img style="background-image: none; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; padding-top: 0px; border: 0px;" title="4EB8982D-872D-48DF-840D-20D50747813C" src="http://ustandout.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/4EB8982D-872D-48DF-840D-20D50747813C_thumb.png" alt="4EB8982D-872D-48DF-840D-20D50747813C" width="576" height="446" border="0" /></a></p>
<h2>5. Add your custom photo to this album whenever you add a new photo to your page</h2>
<p>If you want this image to consistently be your photos tab icon, just add your image to this album after each time you add other images to your fan page! Should only take a couple minutes, and is an effective workaround to Facebook’s custom image limitations.</p>
