Creating a custom landing page for your Facebook group is not as difficult as you might think!
Here is how you do it:
1. Log in to your Facebook account and do a Search for TAB Press (Static FBML boxes no longer work!)
2. Click on the link "Add to My Page" & Select the page. (this is found in the bottom left hand side of the page)
Now you will need to create the content for your Tabs/Welcome screen
1. Use Photo-shop or a similar application to create an image with width of 520px (the height does not matter)
2. Create a folder name FB on your server & upload the image in that folder. You can also use photobucket or an online file hosting service (you will just need a URL for your image)
3. Navigate to your fan page & click on the "Edit Page" tab below the Fan Page's Profile Image.
4. Locate your Tab application & click on Edit.
5. You can create a page for your fans and one for your "non-fans"
If you want to add a link to the image just add the following code
src ="http://yourwebsite.com/FB/imagename.jpg">
If you would like you can also use text after the image with HTML tags like h1, h2,, etc or use any other HTML you like.
6. When you are done click on save changes - navigate to your Fan Page and you will see a new tab with the title you wrote.
Now you can set your new page as the default landing page -- click on the edit page tab and locate "wall settings" -- set your default landing page to the new page you created.
Take a look at what companies like "Pizza Hut" and "Coke" are doing on their pages!
You can also get into more depth than just an image --- If you have some programming know how you can build out a miniature website within your FBML box. You can even use Dreamweaver to build out your page and then copy the code into your Facebook FBML box
