As you probably know, on Thursday Facebook Fan Pages started switching to anew design that looks similar to the design of profile pages. I have already switched my Fan Page to the new design. You can see it by clicking here

Some of the changes include moving the Page Tabs from the top to the left-side menu, being able to receive notifications when people post on your Fan Page, being able to post on other pages as a page, the ability to block posts on your Fan Page based on the keywords that you define and more.

There are lots of changes that are going into effect, but here are three new things to pay attention to:

– You Can Now Change The Category Of Your Facebook Fan Page. A lot of people have been unhappy with the category they picked for their page when they first created the page, but they could not do anything about it.

Now you are able to change the category of your Fan Page if you need to.

– You Can Now Post As A Page On Other Pages. Here is something else that you can do now – you can post on others’ Fan Pages as your Fan Page, and not as your profile.

There are huge implications for this ability. For example, you can increase the visibility of your Fan Page and gain more fans by commenting and providing value on pages other than your Fan Page. That way, people visiting that page will be able to check out your Fan Page and become fans.

– The Tabs Have Moved From The Top To The Left-Hand Menu. The tabs are still all there, but it is going to take a bit of time to get used to them to being on the left hand side and not at the top of the page.

As you can see, there are lots of new things on Fan Pages. Respond in the comments and share whether you have already switched your page to the new design and what you like and dislike about it. I have already switched my Fan Page to the new design. And click here to join my Facebook Page
