TabSite's easy-to-use Drag N Build system allows users to choose from a variety of widgets and drag them onto a work area canvas. One of those widgets is our Email Signup Form.
To embed an Email Signup Form onto your TabSite, simply grab the widget and drag it.

What a week! Our team has been rolling out new features for our Facebook Page Platform, making it easier and more powerful all the time.
EASY. POWERFUL. SOCIAL. TABSITE
We have a couple key new features that will make life more seamless for adding tabs, removing tabs, and renaming tabs!
Now, with some recent permissions that Facebook has given developers, we can allow users to do more within the manager area, without the need to switch to the Facebook Admin portal. These features include:
Add a New Tab in TabSite and it automatically is added to your fan page
Rename a Tab in Tabsite and it renames on Facebook
Set your Default Landing Page Tab for new visitors right in the TabSite tab drop down
If you accidentally removed a tab from your fan page but still have it in TabSite, now you can select "Add to Fan Page" and it will be added back to your fan page.
Remove from Fan Page - No more 2-step process of removing from TabSite and removing it from the fan page!
These new tools are available to all TabSite users simply by clicking the pencil icon next to any tab in your TabSite Manager. See image below.
What are you waiting for? Customize that fan page with TabSite!
Please note that setting the Default Landing Page tab for your Facebook fan page is for NEW visitors who have not yet "Liked" your page. This is a Facebook setting.

Thanks to everyone who attended our July 27 Facebook Marketing Webinar: "Facebook Fan Page Optimization: Optimize and Socialize your Fan Page"!
We had a great crowd, with over 500 participants registered.
Key Points outlined in the webinar included:
Choose your Fan Page Name wisely! Don't add words to your name, just use your name.
Create a Vanity URL at www.facebook.com/username. Here it is fine to add a keyword to your company name if you choose to be part of your custom url. Remember, again, choose carefully because you get one shot at this selection. We recommend it flows with your branding.
The Info tab on your fan page is key for getting indexed for keywords. Fill this out completely and use keywords in it.
Facebook iframe tabs are rendered as iframes on the web and as such they are not always be crawled by search engines. Search Engine crawling of custom iframe tabs is hit and miss, so don't fully count on it. This is an issue, but TabSite has a solution!
TabSite reveals MicroSites! TabSite is set to launch MicroSite's in beta on Friday of this week. It allows TabSite users to have a their fan page TabSite and Sub-page content fully indexed on the web as a mini-website, a MicroSite. No additional cost and full details are in the webinar with more information to come on securing usernames and outlining full functionality.
