Administrators

What do you control?

1. If you are a page administrator, people will NOT be able to view your personal information.

2. YOU decide what people can post to your wall: http://www.facebook.com/pages/edit/?id=92363577551

3. Your fans do not see this page. ONLY administrators can see this.
