FBML tabs on Facebook

How to add an FBML tab to your Fan Page. First, download the app here: http://www.facebook.com/apps/application.php?id=4949752878&ref=ts

After adding your FBML tab, you can then edit it this way:

Go to your FB Fan Page. Under your profile picture you find some links. Click the "Edit Page" link. Now you see a menu on the left. Click the "applications" link. This will open your added applications. Just look for the tag and click the go to application link. There you will be able to do your thing.

Sample Code for adding images to your FBML tab:
What doesn't seem to work is embedding youtube videos or photo slideshows (so far in my testing).

To change the default tab of your Page:
  1. Click "Edit Page" underneath the profile picture when viewing your Page.
  2. Select "Manage Permissions" from the left sidebar.
  3. You will see an option called "Default Landing Tab." From there, you can select which tab your Page will default to. Be sure to save your changes to ensure that this is what people will see when they visit your Page for the first time.
When you change your default landing tab, those who are already your fans will continue seeing the wall when they enter your page. However, all newcomers will see your tab-of-choice upon arriving the first time, and after 'liking' will land on your wall when revisiting.
