New FB Pages for Brands: 4 things you must know.

The New FB pages for Brands has been talked about for some time now and most administrators like us have been eagerly awaiting the same. FB fan page is a critical part of any Brands' internet presence these days and for Admins like us (www.itcombine.com manages 7 Fb Fan pages) its extremely important to know every bit of it.

Here are a few things that every Admin must know:

1. Now you can Add a Cover picture (Photo on the page). The size for this Cover photo has to be at least 399 pixels wide.

Apart from the other things that FB mentions in its Help section, Covers must not be false, deceptive or misleading, and must not infringe on third parties' intellectual property. You may not encourage or incentivize people to upload your cover image to their personal timeline.

2. Its also time to change the Profile Picture. A lot of Brands have been using Tall photos. Now the profile photo may be used to show the your logo or another image that represents your Page. Choose an image that's square and at least 180 pixels wide. 

3. The TABS are now back again on TOP of the page. However Photos take the first position and can't be replaced. You can add 12 tabs and all can be edited for view. However Changing the positions of the Tabs is slightly tricky now. Here are the steps for the Swap:

1. You need to Mouse over on the tab. 
2. You will see a Edit pen icon. 
3. Clicking on this will show you a 'Swap With' option with a mention of the other tabs you want this to Swap position with. 

4. You can use Bigger Images for TABS. If you want to change the tab Image you need to;

1. Make all the Tabs visible.
2. Click on the Edit Pen icon
3. Clicking on Edit Settings will open a Pop up.
4. Here you can change the name and Image for the Tab.

Will come up with more tips for Admins soon. Keep Rocking..
