Facebook Connect now working.

I've managed to get my facebook connect up and running on my page. Now you can use your facebook account to comment and subscribe to posts. Also i suggest getting Firefox 3 or the Flock browser if you want to subscribe to the threads easily. The best would really be flock as it has a dedicated RSS function that flashes whenever theres new posts.

Instructions for Facebook connect are as follows:



1. Click the facebook connect on the comments box.
2. Click connect with facebook when the button appears, and allow facebook connect to access your profile like you do with any other facebook application.
3. Type in your comment and post it.

Note: This works on any site that has this feature. Of course if you have a Disqus account, you can use that, or you can just post an Unclaimed comment.

Now subscribing. If you click the options button highlighted in the picture above, you get a small list of options like the one below:



Click "This Thread" where subscribe is, and you get a dialog (in Firefox) like this:



Just select where you want the link to be shown and then click add. When you open your favourites menu, it should be there as a menu with the RSS feeds icon. Put your mouse cursor over it and you'll see all the most recent posts.

No i want to see more page views and a few comments before i bother upgrading again with FeedBurner. OK?

*edit* How is the new wide format looking? Sorry if you're on a small screen, i had to make everything wider because i hate it when Blogger cuts half my pictures out. I'm loving the fact i can see the full frame now even.

Blogged with the Flock Browser

Updating my blog. It's the 2000's people.

Over the next couple of days, due to a surplus in boredom and lack of fun things to do (half the people are gone away, it looks like i'm alone again this weekend) i'll be updating my blog. Its one of the geekiest things one could possibly do, but i've got nothing else to do.....well, other than watching or playing Star Trek, which is probably worse (don't you dare comment).

Its going to be a painful process, pulling apart my HTML and editing the source code, adding new stings of code, etc etc.....just know its a fucking job and a half. If you don't know what source code is, there's your answer just how difficult it is.

What will be new on my blog. Well for a start i've already edited the layout so my colum is a little wider. I need to get my pictures to fit in perfectly. I had to edit last night because i embeded a photo from my deviant-art account and it was overlapping my navigation menu on the right.....yes blah blah blah i know.

SO, coming soon, maybe new logos, more pictures, more gadgets and the big one i'm trying to work on....Facebook Connect. so you facebookers can log into my blog and comment....and stuff. and share. and whatever.

Watch this space ----->


*edit*

ok so this is proving rather difficult. i managed to get disqus working on my comments which was no biggie, but disqus won't let me use my facebook connect app i made so you can post with your fb account. I'll find a way to work it eventually. Other than that, look for feedburner and socialtwist capabilities coming later. i'll get there eventually....i will.
