Last time I told you about how to create a facebook fan page and and how to add facebook fan page to your wordpress/blogspot blog.
One feature which I forget to tell you about is setting up custom name for your Facebook fan page. For example a default facebook fan page username will look like this :
http://www.facebook.com/pages/Shoutmeloud/94019601674
But we can set a custom name for your facebook fan page for better Branding.
Follow these simple steps to create a custom name for your facebook fan page.
Go to facebook username page. Click on Set a username for your pages.
Select the page and write the custom name in the right hand bar.
Confirm the pop up disclaimer and your username for page will be setup.
Here is what I have set up for Shoutmeloud Page
http://www.facebook.com/Shoutmeloud
This is another great way to brand your blog. Do let me know if you have setup custom name for your facebook page or not?

There is no such option for me. I have already created username for my account but now I want to create a name for the page.
Username for pages was disabled for a certain time period and then Facebook again enabled the option to get custom username for pages. I was just waiting for the day when they will enable this option for pages. Got the custom username for my blog’s page (any one can guess that). Thanks a lot Harsh for pointing this out on your blog, it really helped.
this helps the website to get a good community base.. thanks for pointing out this..
Hey Harsh thank you for this tutorial. According to your tutorial I can able to make face book fan page. Now I refer the new face book fan url to my blog visitor . Thank you.
I see many bloggers setting up their pages on facebook, I think i should start it as well
Thanks for the Quick tut harsh
Thanks a lot.. i never knew that was possible.. coz i remembered that we need to have atleast 1000 fans b4 we allowed to set username for fan pages..
thanks buddy for the post once again
just figured out that to get your username aka vanity url for your facebook fan page one should have atleast 100 fans
True, This Option of Customizing Usernames for Pages helps in better viewability of pages
I have been considering doing one more fan page, we have three right now and I honestly couldn’t remember how I did it. This will be a huge help if I actually stop thinking about it and do it.
thnx for the info Harsh
i was searching for this but was not able to find the way to do this
Cool, thank you. Shared on Twitter and in Facebook. I know this will help so many because I see the question being asked a lot.
I’ve been struggling with whether or not to get a Facebook page for my blog. What if nobody wants to join? Do I only post links to my articles on that page, or for the view of all my Facebook friends? And if it’s the former, aren’t I drastically limiting my potential readership? If both, won’t I annoy the people kind enough to join my Facebook page with duplicate links?
Why does everything have to be so complicated? :-O
Hi,
I got this message while i tried to try page name:
“MyPageBame is not eligible for a username at this time. In the future, MyPageBame will be able to set a username.”
What i need to do, it is second day i can`t assign custom url for my page.
Thanks.
Hey pulsaz
You need to have 100 Fans before you can set custom name for your Facebook fan page.
ahh that is OK, i will find some,
Thanks.
