Default What did I do wrong - Facebook ???
So I created the fanpage for my business. I sent out a message so I could get the 25 needed to change my url. I went in to claim my url and when all is said and done it brings me to my personal page not my fan page. can someone please tell me what I did wrong???
Thank you for your help

There should be a link there on the page for updating your URL that says something like 'Select for pages' or similar... I can't recall exactly what it says but I remember being confused by this as well. It's there, you just have to look for it!

I looked in account settings and it is giving me the option to change this only once. But it doesn't say anything about changing it to the fan page?? Here I thought I was on my way to doing this the right way????

It sounds like you may have set your profile URL instead of your page URL. From that page, you have to click a link to go to a different page to select which page you want to set the URL to. If you just go to http://facebook.com/username and then set your name from there, you are setting it for your personal profile. Unfortunately, once a URL is set, it cannot be changed.
