- Display Name - The name of your site
- Namespace - yournamespace (this will feature in the URL for your app. eg: http://apps.facebook.com/bloggerbuster)
- Contact email - your email address
- App Domains - The URL(s) of the blog(s) you will be using this app for (eg: http://yourblog.blogspot.com)
Next, click on "Select how your app integrates with Facebook" and fill in details as follows:
If you like, you can add an icon and thumbnail for your application at the top of the page; these will appear when readers use your app. Then save your changes.
- Website with Facebook Login - Your blog's URL (eg: http://yourblog.blogspot.com)
- Canvas URL - Here you'll need to enter the bit.ly url you generated for your site, adding a question mark at the end. For example, http://bit.ly/blgrbstr?
- Secure Canvas URL - Enter your blog's bit.ly URL beginning with https (eg: https://bit.ly/blgrbstr?)
If you like, you can add an icon and thumbnail for your application at the top of the page; these will appear when readers use your app. Then save your changes.
Once you've done this, be sure to make a note of your App ID which will be shown at the top of the page as you'll need to add this to the code to be pasted in your site.
