Hello!

After tinkering a bit on Facebook, I finally figured out how to add MFP badge to my Facebook page.

First, I went to the lower left-hand corner of the page where Facebook has a link to their applications and selected "Browse more applications"

From that page, I typed in "HTML" in the search box to find an app that allowed me to post HTML on my Facebook page. There were many on there, but I selected one called "My Info" (I am not affiliated with them, it just got good user ratings and seemed to have what I was looking for!)

Once I installed the app, it asked me what HTML code I wanted to appear on my Facebook page.

From there, I simply copied and pasted the HTML for my badge as found in the tools section of MFP.

Then, I needed to decide if I wanted it displayed on the left column of my profile page or have it in a separate tab on the top of my profile (I chose to display it on the left column of my profile page) and then pressed a button to add to my page.

Voila... it is now updated for all my Facebook Friends to see!

I know many people were wondering about this, so I thought I would share.

    I'm sorry :sad:

    When it is added to profile, it will show you what it will look like and it will ask "keep" or "cancel." Make sure that you keep it.

    Otherwise I am not sure why it didn't work.
