I'm working on setting up my own FB page right now...it's still very rough but

http://www.facebook.com/pages/Frigid...2803067?v=wall

because I have under 25 fans I can't set a username yet, which is annoying. What does everyone think of the profile photo? I've gone through several iterations of the the text size and placement and think this is pretty good.

who's the skier?

skier is my neighbor Tim from Chicago. Last season was his first on skis and he skied off the top of the Tram at Big Sky at the beginning of April.

Grrr... I just noticed a number of photo comments on my fanpage from the last two months. Facebook doesn't notify you when fans post on your wall or comment on your photos, so if someone asks a question it may go unanswered for as long as it takes me to find it. Now I have to go into the page every day, view each photo comment and look at my wall to see if anything is new, just in case someone is trying to contact me.

Okay... I caved and started my own.

JERM, I'm going to look around for notification alerts and I'll let you know what I find.

the only solution i have found is to 'like' each of my photos. and then your still at the mercy of facebook to reliably notify you

I've noticed that Geoff (KilogramNards) does exactly that.

I started one a few weeks back, mostly race pics. www.facebook.com/wicked.photos

I'm testing a notification app -- can someone go to my FB page and just comment on something?

Just commented on your last post.

Where did you find the app? I hate not knowing if something was commented on, or if someone posted something.

Thanks!

I'm trying out this FB app called PageNotifier. It's supposed to continuously scan your page, and e-mail you when someone comments on anything. I haven't seen anything come into my inbox yet but I also have no idea what the scan frequency is, so maybe it takes a while.

EDIT: Scratch that! It's working perfectly! It's just that my Google Apps account was marking the notifications as spam.

Okay, so it looks like there's a 10-15 minute delay between when someone posts a comment, and when I get an e-mail notification delivered. Not bad! The app works with multiple pages, too -- handy for those of you like Shaun that have multiple accounts.

One minor annoyance: the notifications you receive do have an ad placed in them. Not a big deal, but some might try to find a more elegant solution.

Where is the privacy setting to allow people to tag your photos? Someone wants to tag themselves and their daughter, but are not seeing a tag button anywhere. This is on my photo page, I can tag her, but she cannot.

EDIT: Nevermind, she must not be sure as to what she is doing.

yeah, I can see the tag option in your shots?

yeah, she hadn't become a fan yet.

i need to set one of these things up and get with the times

I wish we could tag our "page" in photos.

For example. A friend I shot some images for uploaded them to her FB page. I watermarked them, but I cannot tag my photo page, only my personal page.

How would I do that if she uploaded them, NOOB?

i usually just talk to them or send them a facebook message or the like......

I have no issues with her uploading them I gave her the full rez non watermarked files and web rez watermarked images. I only wish we could tag a shot with our photo page name/link.

yeah i know, i just email them and ask them to add a note in the caption at least crediting me, putting a link to your page is just as easy.

Couldn't you just comment on the photo ("Hey, glad to see you love the photo!") and then 'sign' with a link to your FB fan page?

yeah, but you can't do that. you can only tag your personal page.

i finally hit 250 fans (likes)

I'm only at 161... slowly building, though!

I am at 342.

A tip, ask questions. Anything really, it get's your fans active on your page, which shows up as a status update on their page, which turns others onto your page and = more fans.

I'm at like 115?

my fans are 59% women. very interesting

I became a fan of Dans yesterday was I 250? lol

Went through all 8 pages and liked y'all

Finally got around to putting one together, please 'like' me

Every once in a while, try to take a few minutes and browse through old posts since Facebook doesn't notify about new comments. I've made a couple sales recently by discovering someone asking "how can i get a print of this?" on a six month old photo. Just an idea! Plus, when you reply, it notifies everyone on the image that you replied and that might mean it puts the image back in their head at a good time for them to buy/hire for something!

Another trick I've found, if you don't post a whole lot, you can 'like' or comment on the item as yourself, then you get an email notification when anybody else interacts with the item.

How do you choose to interact as yourself and not as your fan page account? That sounds very intriguing.

that used to be true, lately i have found it to not be the case. it was you hit 'like' and it was as your personal account and you got notifications, if you comment it was as the fanpage and you got nothing. now its you get nothing ever no matter what.

interesting they took that out, ill have to test a little more.

if you figure anything out please report back, i like getting notifications for that stuff, its so much easier.

same here, if you get busy with life, it sucks to forget to check the page updates all the time, and missing a request, etc.

Ironically, and not knowing about this thread, I set one up last week. Lol.

Been done, son....

We need a summary post/page/thread of these....

Maybe Fanpage cross promotion would also be in order here. For example, I post a link on my page for Dan/Ben/Mols/Shawn/etc/etc/etc page and vice versa directing folks to those pages....

A rising tide lifts all ships...

liked you lonnie.

Where the **** did the "view comments" thing for the photos go?? For a photographer, it sucks to not be able to see new comments, since I don't get notifications when people leave them in the first place. Not pleased. It's gone for personal pages and business pages.

agreed Mark, FB ****ed that up royally

I don't follow? Do you mean it not extending them in page and going to a different screen?

it was an option in teh gallery view before. it would list all the comments on the pics for that album grouped by the picture they were for. it kicked ass.
