I’ve seen a few Facebook pages with landing pages lately, so I thought it was about time that I added one myself. So after searching the net on how to do this I found a good tutorial on Mashable titled “HOW TO: Build a Facebook Landing Page for Your Business”

It’s so easy to build a landing page for Facebook by using a Facebook app called “Static FBML” you can create your own HTML designed page that new visitors will land on when visiting your page and hopefully also encourage them to “Like” the page and become a fan of Blazing Minds on Facebook.

Those of you who visit my blog on frequent occasions will have seen some updates I’ve made to the Toolbar at the bottom of the blog, if you haven’t then check it out now while you’re reading this post

I added the [intlink id="experimenting-twitter-button" type="post"]New Twitter Button[/intlink] to see how it would work on the blog and so far it has been used several times, it’s not a replacement for favourite Topsy Button, but it look good

I’ve also added a translation option for those visitors whose first language isn’t English, the translation option is also in the Wibiya Toolbar that is at the bottom of the screen on my blog along with Twitter that I mentioned above. It sits along with some other grouped buttons to keep the bar tidy.

From left to right: Donate, Blog Links, Translate and RSS Feed.

When you click on the Translate button you will get a selection of languages that you can translate the current page into, there are now eleven languages listed and hopefully these will cover most of the readers that visit Blazing Minds.

So there you have just some of the new options that you can now find on Blazing Minds to use Twitter and translate the posts in to other languages, so check them out and also check out some of the other buttons on the Toolbar

Now this is a controversial point for a lot of bloggers and readers of blogs, the dreaded word “Toolbar“, but hang on a minute let me finish, those of you who visit my blog often will know about the Wibiya Toolbar that runs at the bottom of Blazing Minds and I have personally found that it has helped reduce my bounce rates since it was installed.

I have tried to make it match the colours of the site and it fits nicely at the bottom the blog, not bothering anybody, but for those that look a little closer at it will notice that I have some handy little featuring running on it and recently I add some of the newer features that Wibiya have added to their site for Toolbar users to use.
