Find Us On Facebook Button

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><a href="https://www.facebook.com/YourFBpagename" target="_blank"><img src="http://YourChaptersite.tu.org/sites/default/files/Facebook.jpg"></a></p>

Please note: your Facebook page address will be listed after https://www.facebook.com/ and your chapter website will be listed in the image source. Here is an example for The Stonefly Society:

<p><a href="https://www.facebook.com/stoneflysociety" target="_blank"><img src="http://stoneflysociety.tu.org/sites/default/files/Facebook.jpg"></a></p>
