How can I make my Group Page have it's own "website"? What I mean is a direct weblike like www.facebook.com/whateveriwantittobe? Or is this option not available for group pages?
 
Yes, Noora is correct - you can't do it for a group, but you can do it for a Fan Page! Once you have 25 people "like" your page, you can create a name.
 
But how? I tried that and it didn't let me. It said once you have a name, you're stuck with it. When I set mine up, I never created a URL, just used my name and Independent Consultant..., it assigned me the URL.

Go to the link I posted above. I'll default to choosing the username for your personal profile, but there will also be a link to choose the name for your page.
 
Thanks again, Noora! I appreciate the help. Glad it worked this time. :)
