Just now I informed you about Facebook Page got a new design and I’m sure people will start talking about which is better Old Facebook page design or New Facebook page design. Though before you advocate old design, let me take you on a tour to new Facebook page design and it’s feature. The features which are added into new Facebook design is better than you ever imagines and new Features will make your Facebook page more viral and most important more control for admins.
Photos at top:
Facebook pages let you add images into your Fan page and if you are like me, you might like to take pictures from Bloggers meet, unboxing pictures and will upload on your fan page to bring more interaction. New page will showcase pictures uploaded by admin at the top and thus more views to your uploaded pictures. If you know Facebook profile picture hack, you can use this features to give more branding option and better look. You might also like to have a look into How to enable photo tagging into Facebook fan pages. As an admin you can also hide any photo to appear into your Facebook Fan page or lets call it blog Facebook profile page. Though fans can see the photos in the albums, but using this feature you can showcase only selected photos on your fan page home.
Navigation link:
To make Fan pages similar to profile page, they have shifted navigation links on the left sidebar. Which is the default navigation for Facebook profile pages. In short now they are treating Facebook Fan pages as a profile page.
Top posts view:
Now you can control if be default you want to show top posts by users and page or just by page. If you allow your users to post on your wall, probably you would like to keep it show top posts by everyone. But if you are not using your Facebook fan page for interaction, you can simply show top posts by page. You need to go to edit page and under manage permission, you can configure this setting.
Use Facebook Page as a Profile for commenting
This is one feature which I’m sure everyone will like in this new Facebook page design. Now you can use your Facebook profile page as a profile. You will get notified when a new user will like your page and also you can like other pages and comment with your Facebook fan page profile. You can enable this feature by clicking on the right hand side of your Facebook fan page. In my case I will click on “Use Facebook as ShoutMeLoud”. You can configure additional settings from edit page option.
Though in order to comment on other pages, you need to like that page.
Overall this new Facebook Fan page features will make you shout it loud and like this post for sure. As an admin of many Facebook Fan page, I welcome new Features for my Fan pages.
Though on social media front, many big companies will hire people for social media engagement and use Facebook fan pages to comment on other pages. Before I would end this detailed review of new Facebook Fan page, I would love to know your views and feedback for new features added by Facebook team. Also if you like this post, don’t forget to hit like button and share it on Facebook.

I find it troubling looking for suitable photos for the new layout. For tech blogs, most of our images are screenshots and they aren’t very pretty in thumbnail form.
