Facebook question

[Eagles]

Im trying to make a Facebook page for a sports blog that I'm doing with a couple of friends. Whats the best way to go about doing this. We have an account thats set up to look like a person. We made it so the first name is "Boston" and the last name is "Juke". The blog is actually called the Sports Juke but it wouldn't allow us to use Sports as the first name. We ended up with over 200 friends before the account deleted. They said they shut us down cause we friended too many people too quickly.

So my question is this: should we make another page but friend people at a slower rate or should we make a group page. A big thing for us is status updates; we post about something and then link it to our blog. Can groups do status updates and are groups able to friend people?

Thanks in advance!

Facebook is cracking down on things like this... You can't set up as a person unless you actually are a person... Since you are a blog, you are supposed to set up as a "Fan Page" or whatever they call it...

Basically what RaceBoarder said, which is why I linked you to the page I did, if you go to organizations (middle selection) then go to sports/athletics, I think you'll create a fan page, as opposed to a normal "profile" of sorts. That's how you can "friend" the famous people (or really, their management team in most cases, although some do really post there). You still appear as a normal person, but its a "page" instead of a "profile", and you can still make status updates and such.
