Recently Facebook made some pretty significant changes to the way Facebook Pages work. They changed the appearance of the pages and where the page tabs live, and they also changed the way that you create custom page tabs.
A New Approach for Facebook Page Tabs – iFrame
Previously, to create a Page Tab with custom content, you would use the Facebook FBML app, and paste some HTML-like code in there. It was limited, but pretty easy to do.
Starting March 18, 2011 they moved away from the FBML App, and declared that all new pages need to be created with the new iFrame Tabs for Pages.
Watch the video below for a visual tour of the changes and to see how the new iFrame Tabs for Pages work.
This video is #1 in a series of videos about how to make the most of the new iFrame Tabs for Pages by managing your Facebook Page content in WordPress.

Don –
Does the navigation bar allow for multiple lines on Facebook as with WordPress? Or, are you relegated to a single line menu?
Hi Michael,
It allows for anything you put in the iFrame. Your only limitation is the width of 520px. In the case of the SmallBiz theme, it does provide multi-level navigation menus.
Thanks Don!
Hello Don,

You continue to add more and more value to this theme, your members and ultimately the end user.
Very cool!
