This Thursday Facebook will be upgrading the layout of their pages and adding several new features. Some of the changes will be cosmetic and others are long overdue issues with functionality that have bothered many of us. The main updates will include:
- Notifications when fans interact with your page or posts
- A place to showcase photos along the top of your page
- A news feed for your page
- The ability to Like and post on other pages as your page
Showcase Your Latest Photos
- The most recent photos that you post to your Wall or photos that you tag your Page in will appear here. This area will not include any photos posted by your fans.
- To hide a photo, roll over it and click X.
