To broaden your reach, it is helpful to make your visitors and members aware of other sites. Of course it is up to the chapter to decide what features and services would be helpful. Be aware that most services charge a fee.


Find Us On Facebook Button

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>

If you are not sure how to add this to your About page, contact Doug Agee about adding a FB button
