this is my first question on here so I do apologise in advance if I do something wrong. I'm a web designer, not a programmer (just for the record)!
I have to add a custom welcome tab to a Facebook fan page, and...I don't know how to do it. I have googled and found several tutorials, but I can't seem to follow any of them because my experience always deviates from what the guides lead me to expect!
The tutorial I've seen most recommended is this: www.hyperarts.com/blog/adding-iframe-application-to-facebook-fan-page/ However, I've tried it and I just don't get the same pages or forms as shown.
After I create and name a new app, the tutorial says I need to go to the Facebook Integration tab and fill in the fields "Tab URL", "Secure Tab URL" etc. I can't find any of this. The forms I have found ask for a whole load more information such as "Canvas Page", "Canvas URL", "Bookmark URL" and more, but I simply don't know what I'm supposed to put in here.
If anyone could advise me (in the most basic terms), or point me to a very simple tutorial then I would be most grateful.
EDIT: Think I have this sorted - thank you.

Here is a very simple tutorial that explains how to do it step-by-step. You should have no problems getting your custom page online by following this: webdeveloperpost.com/Articles/How-to-create-a-custom-facebook-page-without-restrictions.aspx
You will need to click On Facebook in order to display Page Tabs, which will display the Tab URL, Secure Tab URL and all of the Canvas URL details.
Canvas Page is the name you'd like for your application to show up on Facebook e.g. apps.facebook.com/LaurasApp/
Canvas URL is the URL to pull content for your application.
Tab URL is the URL to pull content for your Page.
Secure Tab URL is used if you are using https.
