Thank you so much for your all of your help to get my fb App operating correctly.

The time and encouragement that you gave is very much appreciated.

Cheers,

It is interesting the new timeline, it does seem to have been fairly polarizing. I think the theory behind the big picture is that it allows you to encapsulate what you are all about in one photo. Then the timeline allows you to see what people have been saying about you!

I think you could have fun with a Timeline for Thai Silk Magic however. Be interesting to see what does happen!

I think it depends a lot on what it is that you want and need. I have had hosting with Bluehost since I first put a website online, which seems like at least 10 years ago, but is probably longer. I never had any problems and then they made a change to their T&C which limited you to the number of sql tables you could have.

This site is and probably always will be hosted with Bluehost. I havent had problems migrating sites from anywhere apart from 1&1, which really was a nightmare!

Hostgator I like for a similar reason to Bluehost which is that they have goodish 24 hour a day round the clock support which smaller companies don't, and are generally inexpensive.

Both Hostgator and Bluehost I maintain are the best value options for getting your first website online. Perhaps because I have never experienced any problems with either and as a marketer don't overly mind the upsell process as I find that I can often learn from good sales funnels.

I now however have my own server for my client sites which I prefer and indeed that is with a smaller dedicated company that generally responds to my needs.

I think I may have to tweet about it now….

Who knows though, when all is said and done! It is always fun doing things with Facebook!

As someone who has no even used the timeline for my own personal page yet the whole idea sounds challenging to me.

Most pages that I have seen with a timeline are simply a large photo that bears no relationship to any "timeline" and the posts on these pages seem to be buried way under the images.

However, it looks like I had better hasten up if they are going to introduce this stupid concept to business pages as well.

As for your three choices – Hostgator, I've had a horrid 'big company' experience with them, I can't ever find anything – and everything is geared towards an upsell… to many whizz bangs for my liking… but I've hear reliability is good.

Blue Host is a pile of poo – again trying to wrest a customer off Blue Host was a logistical nightmare.

My personal recommendation is to always use a small dedicated company that you know will respond to your needs. A MediaTemple client of my had their website deleted for non-payment by just a few hours, the big companies have rules in place, that are just not customer centric.

Best results are when the people you sign with are flexible, offer the whole whole (albeit through a 3rd party) and are responsive to your call or need. Added they can often offer amazing deals.

I am seeing less and less support on FB for customisation – lots of things seems to changing regarding pages… do you think Easy FanPage Design is going to run into problem?

It is definitely going to be exciting times! I look forward to seeing where it will go.

OR

Will timeline be the default view on a fanpage (would be pretty cumbersome to find posts if it was the same as the personal profile timelines) and people will still have a default welcome page

Certainly very exciting and fun times – as a Facebook Marketing and Strategy Specialist, I am really looking forward to finding out more.
