ptg16476052642 LESSON 23: How to Publish Your Site
Creating a Facebook Page for Your Site
There’s an additional way to promote your site on the popular social networking site
Facebook. You can create a page that represents your site to the Facebook community.
To do so, you need a Facebook account. After you’ve signed up, go to https://
http://www.facebook.com/pages/create/. You will be asked what type of page you want to cre-
ate, as shown in Figure 23.1.I chose Brand or Product and then Website to create a new page for this book. Then I
was given a chance to add a description of the page, include a profile picture, give it a
Facebook URL, and even specify the audience I wanted to target. The Facebook Page
setup sc reen is shown in Figure 23.2.
After the page has been created, I can customize it in a variety of ways, controlling who’s
allowed to post on it and what kinds of content they’re allowed to post. The Facebook
page gives Facebook users who are interested in this book a place to congregate to dis-
cuss it, share links related to the book, and meet one another.FIGURE 23.1
