Default Facebook Page Tabs & Applications
I'm struggling with Facebook today. I have a fan page set up for my VA business. On that page I created (somehow) a tab for my rss blog feed. Yesterday I created a separate fan page for another business. I'd like to add a tab or box with the the rss of my blog to that page. For whatever reason, I'm coming up empty when it comes to adding tabs, boxes, and applications.

I'm guessing this may be a pretty common question and I'm sure there is a really simple answer. Can someone help?

Thanks!

Hi Jill,

On the Facebook page, you should see a plus sign at the top. Click that to add a tab at the top. You should be able to choose notes, boxes, etc. Just select the one you want and edit it to include your RSS feed.

Hope this helps!

Hi Bobbi,

I wish it were that simple! When I click the + I only see the following options:

Events
Video
Discussions
Search Available Tabs

That's it! No option for Boxes... No option for the RSS Feeder application I installed. Ugh!

You installed the RSS Feeder application specific to that page. You need to also install the app specific to the new page and then set it up with the RSS feed. Applications need to be added each time for each page.

Also, check Edit page and review what's listed there. The app may indeed be there but won't show up as a tab or a box until you've configured the settings.

I've also found that most of the RSS Feeder applications in Facebook do not work correctly most of the time. I've always had more luck importing the feed in using the Notes application.

Hi Kimberly,

Thanks for posting this. I was going to suggest this if what I suggested didn't work. Thanks for beating me to it.
