The Group (Community) Page

  • This is used by multiple users to share photos and comments together.
  • It is not recommended for Businesses

  • If you create a Community page and it gets very popular, you run the risk that Facebook will take over the administration of that page and you will lose all control over it

  • Facebook Group pages are not listed on search engines

Uploading Music to your Facebook wall

Facebook lets you easily upload videos and pictures, but for some reason it is difficult to upload mp3's and music. But it can be done!

The trick is to first save your mp3 on another website.

Step 1: Uploade your mp3 on another website. It will then have a website address (ie: http://antoniosplace.com.au/images/stories/music/the_power_of_now.mp3 ).

Step 2: Log into Facebook and go to your own wall. Type the website address of that mp3 into the status box.

Step 4:  Facebook will then recognise it as an mp3. You can now overwrite the address and put some text in, also change the Artist and Album info. When you are done, click the Post button.

Finish: When you are done, it should look like this...
