Did you know you now have different voices on facebook? If you are a page administrator, it is now much easier to tell whether you are posting as yourself or the page and to switch back and forth.
When you are on a page you administrate you can see the VOICE icon at the top between your name and the Home icon.
To the left or your screen under your notifications you should see a notice that you are commenting as yourself, but you can switch to the page. Just click on the page name and you can make the switch.
Once you have made the switch, you can comment or post on the page as the page. When you want to comment or post as yourself, you would click on the link again. This time clicking on your name.
Switching back and forth between you various pages and yourself should be easier than ever thanks to Facebook Voices feature.
Have you tried the new feature yet? Let me know your thoughts on this feature in the comments below.

Robin, I dont quite understand why I would want to sometimes post as my “page”
Would you explain? Thanks.

Thanks for stopping by. The reason you might want to post as your page instead of your profile is to give your page more exposure when you are posting on other pages or liking other pages. It may be content you want to see on your page, but not your personal profile. If the page represents a business, you want to drive traffic to your business and not to your profile. Also in many cases you may be an administrator for multiple pages or someone else’s page. That would give you an even greater need for being able to switch voices easily. When on a page you administrate you may want to post as your profile, so it is important to be able to switch back easily. For instance I am an administrator on This Girl Hunts page, but I want to be me when I am commenting about something another admin posts. It is important that I can switch when it is necessary. Hope this helped to explain the need.

Thanks, Robin! Helpful as always. I don’t normally post as my “page” just because I wasn’t sure how to go back and forth. I’ll give this a try.
