Change the http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d158/manfur_me/sweetsciencewelcometab.jpg to your image source code (this is the direct link from photobucket for my picture) – it must be no wider than 520pixels (mine is 520 x 700)

Adding ‘Refer to your friends’

http://www.binkd.com/social-media/how-to-add-a-suggest-to-friends-tab-on-your-facebook-page

super easy tutorial J

then you just drag the tabs around on your page to create the order you want – you can add as many FBML pages as you want – you just do the same thing each time

edit page

apps

find the last FBML you created

go to app

add another fbml box

edit

apps

find new box

go to app

enter html code

It should be noted there are many talented WAHP's on Facebook who can custom design your contact tab etc for you (most are a nominal fee of around the $10 - $20 mark) but you can design it yourself in photoshop/photo filtre, upload to your photo sharing server and use the link details listed above - the option is entirely yours :)
