Since my last post on the same topic, Facebook has streamlined the Page Tab creation process, so I thought an updated tutorial is long overdue. I have prepared a 3-part tutorial where I will teach you how to create a custom (1) Facebook Page using (2) Facebook’s Page Tab application, and finally I will show you how to serve the tab content using (3) WordPress.

How to create an iframe Facebook Page with content from WordPress
Recently Facebook announced that they are going to deprecate the use of FBML in favor of iframe for Page tabs. Starting March 11th, 2011, reports say you won’t be able to add static FBML apps to your Facebook Page. You have always wanted a custom Facebook Page but you are not html-savvy, and now you have to deal with iframes and html coding just to set up a nice image as welcome page on Facebook. If you can read and smart enough to follow step-by-step instructions, I can help you get your first iframe tab in Facebook up in no time.

Why I moved from a Facebook profile to a Facebook page
I have a big problem with having my fb profile double as my business profile on Facebook. My profile friends are a chopsuey mix of freelance clients, colleagues from past jobs, relatives, friends, and even total strangers. In real life, nobody would want to mix private life with business, but my Facebook profile is exactly that. There have been a few cases where I needed to delete embarrassing comments or untag photos made by friends which I thought were inappropriate for work (or just plain inappropriate, period). Here’s how I solved the problem.
