Writing a Facebook app

Over the past week, I have been learning how to write a Facebook application, so I could make our blogs post links on Facebook automatically every time we write a new entry. I noticed that there were services that did this already (such as Networked Blogs and Ping.fm), but none of the ones I found did exactly what I wanted, so I wrote my own. That’s just how I roll.

I had to read a lot of the Facebook Developers Documentation to get their API specs, especially the FBML language reference.

I’ve tested the code, and it works, but I haven’t actually gone live with the actual automatic posting yet. That will happen tomorrow.

UPDATE: Yep, totally works. Now I can do other stuff.
