Hi Jeanette,

You actually have to add the Static FBML application from Facebook. You will then be able to paste custom HTML into this app. Google "Static FBML" for more info.

You can see this in action here: http://facebook.com/calvertschool

HTH,
Jason

Hi Jason, I noticed you had the VR opt-in form on the side panel of your FB page. How did you do that? The Static FBML only allowed me to add a tab.

Hi Jeanette,

Great question -- here's a recent blog post from VR's CEO Janine Popick, with step-by-step instructions on how to add the opt-in form to your facebook page:

Add a VerticalResponse Opt-In Form to Your Facebook Pages

Let us know here in the Lounge how that looks once you get it set up.

Cheers, --Chris.

Is there a way to do this with a non-business/fan page (personal account)?

I have successfully added the tab and form content - however, when I go to test the form I get an "invalid form" error. I've tried it several times.

Anyone else experience this?

Odd - the form does not work in Google Chrome. Worked successfully in IE8.

Does anyone know why the form would work successfully in IE8 but I tested it in Flock, Firefox AND Google Chrome and get an "invalid form" return. I'd really appreciate any help!
