TabSite offers e-mail sign-up form integration with Delivra, Constant Contact and Mailchimp. This allows users of these e-mail services to get the web sign-up form from the service and drop it into a TabSite custom fan page. This is available at all Plan levels of TabSite, from free to Gold.
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.
Upon doing so, a pop-up will appear asking you to embed your code. Copy the html signup code from either your Delivra, Constant Contact or Mailchimp account and paste it into the specified box.
To change the appearance of your widget, click on the Container Properties tab located in the top left corner of the widget popup. This enables the user to add a background image, change the text and link colors, add a background color, and more!
Below is an example of how "dacor ® - The Life of the Kitchen ®" used the TabSite Email Signup Form widget to create a unique contest on their Facebook Fan Page.

TabSite adds "Tweet" button functionality to the Twitter Widget!
TabSite is pleased to announce the roll-out of an additional social feature to help fan page Admins build more interactive tabs and create more fan engagement.
Available to all Gold Plan TabSite users, the new Tweet tool within the Twitter Widget gives Gold Plan TabSite users yet another easy tool to boost viral sharing.
Studies have shown that the "Tweet" button is one of the most commonly used social sharing buttons on the web. Users are quite quick to press the button and share content from the page they are on. Now with the ability to easily add this to your fan page custom tabs, it's a no-brainer to add the Tweet button to your TabSite tabs!
All TabSite tools, including the new Tweet feature, are easy to use and require no coding knowledge! Simply drag the Widget to your tab in the TabSite Manager and then select the Tweet This feature.
TabSite Admins can then select the Tweet button to have a horizontal, vertical, or no count displayed. As well, the Admin can specify the url and text to be included in the tweet.
See images below for easy setup:
1. Select Twitter Widget
2. Select 'Tweet This' tab to start setup within the Twitter Widget. Enter url to Tweet, enter text to be in Tweet, and select the style of Tweet button to display.
3. Press Accept and then position the Tweet button exactly where you want on your tab. Save and publish your tab. Done!
Again, the new feature within the Twitter widget is available to all TabSite Gold Plan users at the affordable $15/month plan which gives you access to a full suite of powerful tools for your fan page!
Our goal at TabSite is to continue to bring businesses and organizations innovative and useful fan page tools to make customizing and managing your fan page easier and faster.
We are excited to release our newest widget, the iFrame Widget.
The iFrame Widget makes it easy to "frame" outside content within your fan page. This new widget is available to all TabSite users at the Silver and Gold Plan levels. So for $10 or $15/month you get a large assortment of powerful widgets to bring life and socialization to your fan page!
Users can now bring in outside content to their fan page by simply dragging the iFrame Widget into their Page builder area in the TabSite Manager. A box will open allow you to enter the url of the outside webpage that is to appear on the fan page. Then simply drag your widget to resize the height and width, and TabSite pulls in your outside content.
Since Fan Page's have a maximum width of 520 pixels wide, any content your are bringing in wider than this will be visible via horizontal scrollbars.
Have a mobile site? Simply grab the mobile url and use it in the iFrame Widget to bring all your mobile content to your Fan Page!
See it in action on the Da-Lite Screen fan page. Again, this is available to all users at the Silver and Gold Plan levels!
Now, easily lock widgets in place to aid your design building in TabSite!
Our goal with the TabSite fan page platform is to continue to innovate and add more value and ease to our service for those customizing Facebook fan pages.
With that in mind, we are pleased to introduce our latest TabSite design feature, the ability to quickly and easily "Lock" a widget in place so it doesn't move! Now in a matter of minutes you can drag widgets like the Content Widget, Images, and a Google Map to your tab canvas area to create a wonderful Welcome tab for your fan page.
Now, simply right click (PC or 2 button Mac) on any widget in the canvas work area or go to the Layers area and select "Lock" or "Unlock" to toggle the locking on or off.
This locks the widget at the exact location on your tab design that you want. Want to unlock? Just follow the same steps to unlock the widget! This gives you more power to set elements in the exact location you want and not worry about a slip of the mouse moving them.
Easy. Powerful. Social.TabSite!

TabSite is pleased to be the only fan page customization platform to offer easy layering of widgets!
With the TabSite Drag N Build System it is a simple process to build your custom design by dragging images and widgets into the tab canvas area and arrange your design. Only TabSite, however, offers small and medium businesses the ability to easily change the layering of components on the fan page tab you are creating. This means you can "send forward and move back" layers to get just the right design you want.
To access you widget layers in the TabSite manager, simply click on the layers tab as shown below. Drag layers up in the list to move up on your tab design. Watch our video tutorial below for more information.
