What's the best way for fans to upload their photos to my business's Facebook fan page?

As far as I can see, the default method is that they upload a photo onto the wall. This then pops into the photos section called 'photos by others'.

This doesn't seem very visible. Is there better way of doing things?

It would be great if there was a dedicated tab, which then gives them instructions on what to do. It's just not very clear at the moment.

I'd recommend perhaps including a note on your wall mentioning that some new photos have been uploaded with a link to the Photo Gallery.

It's something that Facebook could actually improve, but have yet to.

You can create custom tabs using the FBML application. I can't post links, but if you do a search for fbml for photos on Google, you will find some useful discussions on how to do it

AT the moment, I have been asking fans to upload their images via the wall. This then gets added to the 'photos by others' section in the photos.

I was thinking of adding a graphic (with call to action asking fans to upload pics) using FBML... but then not sure what to do after that.

How do you add a link to the photo gallery? Although it can link to the 'photos' tab, there's no link for fans to click to upload their photos.
