How To Create A Facebook Page Badge Tutorial

Posted in: Social Media by Kuzzuk on May 5, 2010

This is a step-by-step tutorial to create a Facebook Page Badge using Facebook Widgets. I’ll be using my own site Singapore Part Time Jobs as an example.

1. Log in to Facebook. You need to be the owner of the Facebook page in order to create a Facebook badge to share on other websites.
2. Go to the Facebook Page Badges section and you’ll see a preview of the badge along with option to add the badge either on Blogger, TypePad or Other pages.

3. Click the “Edit This Badge” link and choose the layout as well as the items to be included in the badge. A real-time preview will be shown as you customise your badge. Once you are happy with the preview, click the “Save” button.

4. Now choose where you want to add the badge. In my case, I choose “Other” and the code to copy and paste is automatically generated.

5. Copy and paste this code to your website.

That’s it, if you have followed the steps above then the website should not display your Facebook Page badge accordingly.

Is Your Username Available At These 72 Social Networks?

NameChk is a great service that allows you to check whether your username is available at various social networks that it covers.

Just type in your username and click the “chk” button and viola, it shows whether the username is taken or not for the 72 social networks the service currently covers (see screenshot below as well as the tags). I wish it would go one step further and allow me to register for these social networks should my username be available. However, I know that would be quite difficult but I like asking for the pie in the sky.

Before I forget, here’s a blank copy of the spreadsheet I use to track my usernames on social networks.
