Part 1: GETTING THE CODE FROM MAILBOTO
 

Assuming that you have built your subscription form, here are the steps:

1. Click on the Subscribers Tab
2. Click on Subscription Forms
3. Click the "Code" link next to the subscription form you want to work with
4. Save the form as a web page
5. Open up the form with NOTEPAD or VIEW SOURCE via your web browser

6. Copy all of the code starting with <form>... and ending with...</form> by highlighting it and Cntrl-C

PART 2: ADDING YOUR CODE TO FACEBOOK

1. Click the pencil and select Browse More. This will take you to the Facebook applications page.
2. In the search box under the words All Applications, type in “static FBML.”
3. What should happen at this point is that you’ll be taken back to your “Edit My Page” page.
4. In your Applications list, you should now see Static FBML. Click on the pencil icon at the top right-hand corner of that application box, and select Edit.
5. Log in to Facebook and go to your organization’s fan page.
6. Click Edit Page in the top left-hand corner just under your user pic.
7. Scroll down the page to Applications. If you don’t have an application called Static FBML in your list of applications, go to the bottom of the page and find the More Applications box.
8. Click on the Static FBML icon, which will take you to the Static FBML fan page.
9. Under the Static FBML logo, you’ll see the text Add to my Page. Click this text.
10. When you click this link, a pop-up titled Add Static FBML to Your Page should appear. In this pop-up you should see your organization’s page listed there. Click on the link to your page.
11. Now—that block of HTML code you copied from your e-mail news provider way back when? Copy that and paste it into the Static FBML box. Give the box a title, maybe something like “Subscribe to our E-newsletter.” Click Save Changes, and now, at long last, you have a box that contains your e-mail newsletter sign-up form.
12. Click the pencil icon again and select Application Settings. You should see text that reads “Box: Available (add). Tab: Available (add).” If you want to have the e-mail newsletter form in the sidebar as we do, click the “add” next to Box: Available.

Ta-da! Now you have an e-mail newsletter subscription box on your Facebook page.
