How To Make Facebook Tabs?

Hi

I have a few new facebook pages as i have only just got into facebook marketing but i am having a bit of trouble finding up to date information on how to add tabs.

I basicly need 2 tabs. 1 tab which is a direct link to an article on a non facebook site and another tab leading to a page on facebook where i can add a subscribe form.

Anyone got any information or can point me in the right direction because everything i find is old and doesn't work any more.

All help very much appreciated

    Bert, you might have overlooked this information from Facebook itself.

        Facebook has changed from making page tabs to Apps. You nee to go to the developers section of Facebook to make a app.

        PM me if you need help this I work with a company that does this.

    It is very easy to make page tabs if you are just wanting iframed off-site pages... just go to https://developers.facebook.com/apps and do what is done in the attached picture. Not sure if it's still the same, but Facebook made it stupidly hard to add external page tabs to pages in the past. But you can do it by going to http://www.facebook.com/add.php?api_...RAPPID&pages=1 while signed in as your page and replacing YOURAPPID with your app ID. It only takes a few minues and is way more flexible than the free solutions on Facebook. Not sure if that is what you're asking, but it took me quite a while to figure it out so i hope it helps somebody.

    Thanks for all the replies but can anyone point me in the right direction for a current "easy to understand" guide as the developers page does not help me much.

    Also is there any software that can do this easily?

    Cheers

      1) Find an html tab app via facebook apps and install it on your page. There's plenty around.

      2) Google 'How to add an iframe to an html page' Should be lots of tutorials on this as well, you may even find an iframe html code generator.

      3) insert iframe code into the html page the fb app provided you.

      4) add tab to favourites from your timeline.

    1. Create the page you want to display on your website.

    2. Add the 'Static HTML' app to your Facebook page:
    https://apps.facebook.com/static_html_plus/

    3. Iframe the page from Step #1 using this code:

    <html>
    <div style="text-align:center">
    <iframe src="http://www.yourwebsite.com" width="800" height="1000" scrolling="yes" frameborder="0">
    </iframe>
    </div>
    </html>

    4. Done.

    The great thing about the 'Static HTML' app is you do not need to worry about SSL certificates and it also allows you to show different content for fans and those who are not yet fans of your page.
