I've searched all around my Facebook account and can't find anywhere where it tells you how to get a customized url eg. if I wanted something like http://www.facebook.com/mysitename

I have seen other sites with these urls so I know it can be done but how?

Thanks.

Hi Shallin,
To create a customized url for your business page on Facebook first you will need to have at least 25 fans. Once you hit this mark you can choose your url via the following steps:

1. Login to your facebook account
2. Go to http://www.facebook.com/username
3. Click on the link that says "Set a username for your Pages"
4. Select your business page from the dropdown menu

* Please note the message they have on the page:
"Easily direct someone to your Page by setting a username for it. You will not be able to edit or transfer this username once you set it."

5. Click on check availability

If the name you choose is available then you are all set.
