7) Add the "Static FBML" App and learn basic HTML.

The Static FBML App is one of the most important Apps on Facebook. It allows you to add customized Tabs to your page that can include text, links and images as long as you have a basic working knowledge of HTML (View Basic HTML Tutorial). PLEASE NOTE: Facebook is only supporting the FBML App through December 31, 2010! Build those custom Tabs while you still can... easily!

You can get away with two Status Updates a day as long as one is in the morning and the other is in the afternoon. The law of diminishing returns kicks in after that. View Poll.
