Specifically, apps that have tabs give directions about selecting "Add to my Page" in the left column that's supposed to be there when I am on their (the app's) page, but noooo. It's not there at all. I attribute this to my "page" login not doing the trick. Have you noticed this or any other manifestations of page admin-itis? Ryan,

Although, I'd need to know the specific circumstances given Facebook's recent page overhaul. Nicola, if the page is already established they will likely need to start over from scratch.

It looks like the person I am trying to help has NOT chosen the "I do not have a Facebook account" option... or is it necessary to start from scratch?? Do you know if one can go back?

It states, "To use this feature, you will need to sign up for a personal facebook profile." How do I get around that? Have they changed their minds...again?

If you follow the directions you should be able to chose an option that says you do not have a Facebook account. Lisa/Randi, I’m not sure where you are getting tripped up.

You'll need to publicize your FB page on your website and share it via email / twitter - those tactics will likely be your fastest way to attract attention.

All seemed okay, until I went back in using the e-mail address provided in Step 6. At that time, the instructions displayed indicated I had to create a profile. So now I have a second profile. Please help or explain what I did wrong. Randi Hey Ryan,
