HOW TO ALLOW FANS TO TAG YOUR FAN PAGE PHOTOS ON FACEBOOK

  1. Go to your Facebook Page.
  2. Directly below your Page's Profile photo, click on "Edit Page".
  3. In your browser's URL, note the number that comes AFTER 'edit/?id=' That number is your Page ID.
  4. Go to this URL, but change REPLACEME to your Page ID from step 3: http://www.facebook.com/pages/edit/app_settings.php?id=REPLACEME&aid=2305272732
  5. Click the setting for "Allow All Fans to Tag Photos"
  6. Save your settings.
In case anyone wants to know why this works, all it is doing is accessing the "Photo Application" settings by using the Application ID (the Facebook Photos Application ID is '2305272732').

THOUGHTS ON WRITING + A "'SHOP JOB" "DISASTER"

Economy of words is important in written communication.  The point of writing is to transfer as many ideas with as much depth and as broad an application to the reader as quickly as possible.  People that lack the most understanding are also going to be the ones who have the shortest attention span.  Busy people are only going to skim what you write, and only read if they have to.  People who are smarter than you are going to stop reading shortly after you start to come across as pedantic to them.
