Facebook Page Themes
Creating a Facebook landing page has been a business strategy for awhile now. It has especially been popular for churches.
The idea is to send people to more of a page look when they go to your Facebook address. This gives you more control over the content that people see when they arrive. They can still go to your profile and wall pages, but the first impression is intentional.
This has been a challenge however if you are not a great coder. In addition to HTML Facebook also implemented something they called FBML [Facebook Markup Language] that was somewhat different from regular code. I am not sure what the exact differences are, but you did have to take some time to figure it out. Now it looks like they are phasing it out, so the process should be easier if you know HTML.
There is a Premium WordPress Theme called Facebook Page Themes that attempts to help with Facebook landing pages and make the process easy for them to look great. Please note that I have not personally used this theme, but have purchased and used premium WordPress themes from this site before and they have worked out well.
If Facebook marketing is something you are looking to do and you use WordPress, check out the theme using the link [affiliate] below.

Has your WordPress Blog been Hacked?
Websites, Blogs, Facebook and Twitter accounts are extremely vulnerable to getting hacked. It is not a good day when you receive a message from your Mom scolding you for the inappropriate material you are posting on Facebook. Of course, you did not do it. But this is your Mom. She has no idea. We are all still surprised she is even on Facebook.
I had a WordPress site that I had created for my parents church that was hacked by a Turkish Militant group. They had not visited their site in awhile and had not realized it. We do not know how long it had been like that.
I have no idea why they did it, but they replaced the entire site with a one page document. When you went to the site it showed the flag and played some sort of military song. It was annoying, but whatever. I removed that file and everything was fine.
The bloggers at Churchm.ag gave an extremely simple and free solution to preventing a lot of this. Much hacking occurs over public wifi. The problem is that most bloggers like to hit up these places to post and create.
Their solution? Check it out at the link below.
