I've been working on the FB page, setting up tabs for books, newsletters, blog etc, and a new cover image.

Would like some beta-testers if possible to go through the tabs in particular and make sure they work OK in your browsers?

I would change the background image displayed for "My books", "My blog", and "Free ebook" sections. I'm not really sure how to do that, but not doing it makes it look like all those things are superficial to your fan page and not as important. Thus, if it's not as important, why are they there?

Good luck. Looks awesome!

But I did do it

I chose those background images, to match the cloud effect around my name in the banner...

I'm having a problem going to your "tabs" and then going back (I can force it to go back), and Home just keeps me on that same page (I would have expected it to take me back to the page I get when I first clicked your link).

Let me test again.

Ah, you have extra scripts. I have script blocking software. I had to allow the script to run before it would function properly.

You don't want your readers to get the notion that your book, your blog, AND your ebook are one in the same. Having that background for all categories gives the impression you want all to be related.

Do you have a brand already and the cloud is something readers will notice right away, or are you wanting to use the image to clump your work together under a single image? If that's the case, then is that image a brand?

The tabs worked for me in Safari 6.0.2 (Mac OS X 10.8.2). How did you get the Goodreads tab set up, BTW?

I added Goodreads as an application (it's on the FB apps list) and changed the tab to suit my new look...

Thanks for the feedback folks. Taken on board, and I've revisited my tabs with a fresh look. Also added a new one for NEWS today with my newsletter as the content.
