This is just a quick run down of how to create a facebook landing page using iframes. I realize I'm rushing through this. But there was a lot of discussion about this so I thought I'd start a new thread for anyone who was interested. I'll see about doing a video on this sometime soon, maybe for the blog.

Here we go. Hope this makes sense.

1. Search Facebook apps for "static html: Iframs tabs" (the icon has a star on it)
2. Install it by clicking "add to my page".
3. Add it to your desired page.
4. Head over to the page you are adding it to and you should see the star icon and a welcome tab in the left side bar.
5. Click on the welcome tab and it will bring you to an edit tab.
6. Copy your html code for the landing into the first box (I'll talk about how to create that in a sec).
7. There is also a "fans only" option if you want to create a reveal tab.
8. You can tick a box to prevent scroll bars from appearing (recommended). You can tick the box to shrink your text to size
9. You can also import a web page directly but you will have scroll bars.
10. You only have 520 pixels to work with without shrinking.
11. To change the name of the tab go back to your apps and click edit settings for this app specifically.
12. To create your landing page just go to Seamonkey and create a web page that is 520 pixels wide. Use the html editor features that you should be familiar with by now and just copy the html and paste it in your app.
13. Host any images on your server and make sure you put the right location in your html code.

Voilà! You have a fancy iframes landing page.

Hope that's not too confusing without the images.

Note* There is an FAQ section in the app edit page.
