I have been using this for a week, it is really important and it was suggested by Pradeep.
The Vanity Url can’t be changed once you applied it, so be careful while choosing. And Vanity Url can also be set for a user profile.
I changed it too. Thanks for the tut. http://www.facebook.com/XPozedCom
I have the over the required number of fans or “likes” for a personal URL. Unfortunately, the drop down list doesn’t list my pages. I am not able to choose.
Any ideas?
Jay
