Learn Static FBML - Facebook Fan Page

What is FBML?

FBML stands for Facebook Markup Language, which is a subset of HTML.
Static FBML is a Facebook application that allows Facebook page administrators to create custom boxes and tabs on their Facebook pages. This application is only available for Facebook pages, not for personal profiles or Facebook groups.
FBML enables you to build Facebook applications that deeply integrate into a user's Facebook experience. You can hook into several Facebook integration points, including the profile, profile actions, and canvas.
Listed below are some basic HTML tags you might want to use on your Static FBML custom Facebook Fan Page tabs, or anywhere else you need a quick snip of HTML.
To make a word clickable to another website:
<A title=”whatever the name of the linked page is” HREF=”http://www.cherryhousestudios.com”>word you want clickable</A>
To insert a picture:
<IMG SRC=”http://www.twitpic/cherryhouse.jpg”>
To insert a picture so that it is linked to a website:
<a href=”http://www.cherryhousestudios.com/linktoexactpage.html” target=”_blank”><img src=”http://www.cherryhousestudios.jpg” alt=”whatever this is a picture of including a keyword or two” border=”0″></a>
To skip down to the next line:
<BR>
To skip a whole line between items:
<P>
To center something:
<CENTER>whatever whatever</CENTER>
To make words BOLD:
<B>whatever word you want bold</B>
To make words ITALIC:
<I>whatever word you want italicized</I> (that is the capital letter “i“)
To change the font size (1 seems to be normal small font, go up from there by changing the number and saving, then checking it):

<font size=”3″>whatever word(s) you want larger</font>
Note: You can add multiple tags to a section, but you must always have a beginning tag and a closing tag (like </whatever>) in the reverse order in which you opened them, so that the pairs of tags (opening and closing) hug the item. Ex: <B><I>This is bold and italic!</I></B>

So play around with it, always save your work, and TEST it out. You can always go back and edit to change it back or try something different.
