Easily embed HTML on your Facebook page with the Static FBML app.

Although Facebook pages have a uniform look and layout, it's possible to embed custom HTML code into your Facebook page for a customized feel. On Facebook, the Static FBML app is Facebook's official and only way to customize a page with HTML. FBML (Facebook Markup Language) is Facebook's own proprietary, modified version of HTML, and the app also allows HTML code. With the FBML app, any user can use HTML to enhance your page.
