So all too often I see real businesses and people that have Facebook fan pages with crazy long URLs.  Well guess what…  Facebook lets you go ahead and create a nice url for your fan page.

So instead of …

The second one is much nicer wouldn’t you agree?  The thing is there isn’t really a button to just go a head and do that.  You need to know stuff.  Luckily I know some stuff.  Here is what you do.

Enjoy!
