An easy way for your visitors to find you Facebook page is to add a button to you About page.

To add this, you need to include some html at the bottom of the About page that looks like this:

<p style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-transform: none; text-indent: 0px; letter-spacing: normal; word-spacing: 0px; white-space: normal; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;"> </p> <p style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-transform: none; text-indent: 0px; letter-spacing: normal; word-spacing: 0px; white-space: normal; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.facebook.com/yourFBaddress">[[{"fid":"8661","view_mode":"default","type":"media","attributes":{"height":90,"width":300,"class":"media-element file-default"}}]]</a></p><p style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-transform: none; text-indent: 0px; letter-spacing: normal; word-spacing: 0px; white-space: normal; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;"><br> </p>

Please note: your Facebook page address will be listed after https://www.facebook.com/
