How to this Visualforce page to my account and contact

I have some apex classes and visualforce pages I received from a consultant for liking their facebook page.  It creates a button on the account and contact that when clicked it displayes the activity history in a grid like fasion instead of the less than visually apealing way it does out of the box.  I have figured out a bunch of problems to get the three classes to save and now I have to get to the page.

 

The visualforce page is below but SF won't allow me to add it to a button on the Account or Contact page.

You can only add visualforce pages as these types of buttons if they use the standard controller of the sobject in question.  Thus to use this as an account button, you would need to be using the Account standard controller, but this page has a custom controller.

 

You can make the button target a URL and give it the URL of the apex page.
