Week 5

Week 5

We made a few big steps at our meeting today. First, we discovered that you cannot change a FB fan page’s title, only profile pages. Then, we discovered that you must have 1,000 fans to make a vanity URL for the page like facebook.com/examiner.

So, we decided to make a new page altogether. It is not live yet. We kept it unpublished because we want to get the page rockin’ and rollin’ before we put it live. We are currently deciding what applications to add, and figuring out how to get them an RSS feed and a way to get photos on the site.

The new page is titled The Examiner, an Independence & Blue Springs newspaper. We based the new name off of the top keywords searches that led to examiner.net based on Google Analytics. The old site cannot be found in the top 30 searches of “The Examiner” and nothing comes up at all when you search “Independence Examiner” or “Blue Springs Examiner”. This is troublesome since these are the top three keyword searches.

So, this is exciting to make a whole new page. We also discovered that the reason that the thumbnail looks so awful is that it is not a square. We asked the Examiner to make a new square logo for us to use on the FB page.

WOO HOO! Go Tigers!
