How to Make Someone an Admin of Your Facebook Page

When I work on someone’s Facebook page, it is necessary for me to be made an Admin of the page. I can be removed after the work is completed but I am unable to do the work if I’m not an Admin.

Recently I was hired to work on a fan page and I asked the client to make me an Admin. The client didn’t know how to do that so I sent instructions. I then realized that I should write it up for an article and then I would have the link available for when I needed to send it to someone.

There are two ways to make someone an Admin of your fan page.

Converting a Static Website to WordPress: Mary Shelley and Frankenstein Part 2

At the beginning of April I wrote about an older website that I converted to WordPress. This site is about Mary Shelley and Frankenstein and has existed since 1996.

I intended to write this second part in the weeks following but it was only when someone asked me about it a couple of days ago that I realized almost 2 months had gone by and that I still hadn’t written it. There is no simple way to convert an html site to WordPress and if there are a lot of pages it can be a tedious process. It can be the best time to take a close look at your content and determine what needs to be updated, what is irrelevant and what needs to be removed completely.

How to Select Which Part of a Large Facebook Logo Will Be Your Avatar

One of the trends on Facebook fan pages is using an oversized logo to make a bigger impact. It can be up to 200px wide by 600px high.

I used to think that you had to measure out the right segment and have the area you wanted to be the avatar in a specific part of the larger logo. And maybe it used to be this way and I missed that there was a better way. Or maybe the better way is a newer feature (it’s not like Facebook changes things every other day and is poor at communication).

But there’s a really easy way to select the avatar from the larger logo.

How to Delete Your Facebook Account

There has been a lot of discussion recently about Facebook’s policies concerning our information and what is and isn’t private (not much unless you opt-out). Here is the Evolution of Privacy on Facebook(or perhaps de-evolution) and Wired’s article, Facebook’s Gone Rogue: It’s Time for an Open Alternative. Fast Company also has an article by Gina Trapani about the Facebook settings that we need to check now.

Some people, however, have had with Facebook and just want to delete their accounts. So, here’s how to do it but be forewarned – it’s easier said than truly done.

15 Best Facebook Tutorials (from this site)

I have quite a few new readers who are looking for useful information about Facebook that doesn’t take a PhD to understand. Since they have missed some of the earlier articles, and really who can keep up these days, I’ve decided to round-up my best Facebook articles.

There are some others that are quite good but Facebook decided to rename things and make random changes so often that I would need to write my posts in pencil in order to always be current. If you are interested in all of the articles, you can find them in the Facebook category.
