One thing I wish that I knew, is if it's possible to send a message or post something on another's page from your Page, rather than from your personal profile. Has anyone been able to do this?

Hi Tracie,

If you go to page admin (from your company FB page) and click on insights it will take you to the insights admin page. From there, on the top right hand corner, click on "account" and in the drop down you should see something that says "use facebook as page"... click on that... you can switch back to using your profile as your FB page the same way... hope this helps!

...and just to add.. once you've done this - when you go back to the main view of your page you can click on 'edit page' at the top right.. on the left column under 'your settings' you can choose how you want to manage your posting preferences.. :)

I believe the answer is to use the option in the upper right hand corner of your fan page that says "Use Facebook as..."

Best

Since I had lots of folks asking me social media questions, I created my own fan page on the subject and I even create custom fan pages in addition to designing wedding invitations. :)

So, I'm always posting things I've learned and tips that I find on my page at:
