Well I'm pretty sure that works. And just so everyone knows I liked everyones pages that posted so far. Lets keep it up and spread the word!

Thanks for listening guys. Again we are a Metal band from MN/WI border. Been doing it for a long time but this band was formed this April. New recordings coming soon!
 
Facebook is blocked at work but when I get home tonight I'll check all your pages, and like what I like :)

Here's ours:

Our Facebook page is our most important medium to get in touch with fans and event organizers. I had hoped for more fans when I started the page, but I guess we'll just have to convince them at shows. We still have a myspace running because many organisers still request it, and we're making work of our own website as well.
 
oh by the way can anyone tell me how you get the short url for your band pages on Facebook? I've been looking all over but I can't find it :(

It had something to do with having over a certain number of fans, like 100 or 200 or something, then you can edit your page to have a particular URL. They make it impossible to change afterward, though, so you have to be really sure what you'd like your facebook.com/"band name here" to be.

Right on! Thank you very much, I'd been looking for that for quite some time now :p

Thanks man! That was simple. I have changed both of my bands urls. That was th eone thing that Myspace had on Facebook. Not anymore.

Curious why you'd make your band a person instead of a page.

I know there are a couple of things that would be nice to be able to do as a page, but it seems like there's more on the downside(s).

Agreed. Our original page was set up as a Group. So you had to become a member. The whole layout just seemed clumsy. When I re-did our page I made sure it was a "Like" page.



And......."like"....."like"......."like" "like". All caught up!
